RFA #1: Financial Barriers 11/4/2015 RFA #1: Financial Barriers Community Impact Study found finances a significant barrier Only funds projects that make screening, diagnosis, and treatment more accessible by removing financial barriers Can fund women in any or all of the 91 counties Must demonstrate post-ACA need Post ACA need- newer data, not recycled, understanding of the new era.

11/4/2015 RFA #2: Community Needs Priority #1: Programs that aim to decrease the barriers created by Geographic Access issues in counties that demonstrate higher than average percentages of late- stage diagnosis and demonstrate higher than average percentages of residents who live in medically underserved and/or rural areas. Priority #2: Decrease the barriers created by Information Access issues in those counties that demonstrate higher than average percentages of late-stage diagnosis and demonstrate higher than average percentages of linguistic isolation and /or low educational achievement. Understand what services are available to eliminate barriers. Fill a need in your area. Be very clear about how the priorities fit.

Priority #1: Geographic Access 11/4/2015 Priority #1: Geographic Access maximize convenience to access along the continuum of care including, but not limited to, transportation assistance, telemedicine, scheduling assistance, referrals, and flexible hours of service.

Priority #2: Information Access 11/4/2015 Priority #2: Information Access Provide culturally-competent, multi-cultural, evidence-based breast cancer education that results in action: such as talking to one’s doctor about their personal risk or getting a screening mammogram; navigation of individuals into screening, diagnostic and treatment services; screening reminder services and plain-language resources available through Komen. Priority will be given to programs that demonstrate benefit to residents of one or more of the following communities: Buena Vista, Decatur, Ida and O’Brien Counties.

RFA Differences RFA (a) Community Needs- This priority does NOT include the provision of vouchers or other financial services to offset the cost of breast cancer diagnosis or treatment; those funds exist in the Financial RFA. This priority ONLY funds the identification, coordination, and marketing of such services and breast health education in your area. RFA Financial Barriers- For applications that make breast cancer screenings, diagnosis, and treatment more accessible to all women by providing financial support. This can include patient navigation if you work directly with the patient.
