Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — Division of Cancer Prevention and Control
Org profile — federal cancer prevention funder
The CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control funds population-level cancer prevention — chiefly the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP), which fund all 50 states plus territories and tribes. These are PROGRAM grants to public-health agencies, not individual fellowships. They are the public-health delivery counterpart to NCI's research funding, and directly relevant to HPV/cervical-cancer prevention work.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Where NCI funds cancer research, the CDC funds cancer prevention at the population level. For HPV-vaccination and cervical-cancer-prevention work, the CDC is a central player — but it funds agencies and programs, not individual trainees.
Division of Cancer Prevention and Control
The CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (within the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion) runs the nation's population cancer-prevention programs (CDC DCPC).
Flagship programs
- National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) — funds all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, 5 US-Affiliated Pacific Islands, and 13 tribes/tribal organizations to provide breast and cervical cancer screening to low-income, underinsured women. Since 1991 it has delivered 16M+ screening tests, finding 80,000+ breast and 5,000+ cervical cancers (NBCCEDP). At least 60% of federal funds must go to direct clinical services.
- National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) — funds all 50 states, DC, 7 territories/freely-associated states, and 7 tribes/tribal organizations to build cancer coalitions; has produced 65 comprehensive cancer-control plans (CDC DCPC).
