The Southeastern U.S. Collaborative Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Disparities (SUCCEED) has released a Request for Applications (RFA) for the 2009 Legacy Grant.  SUCCEED Institutions (Morehouse School of Medicine Prevention Research Center, the Emory University Prevention Research Center, the Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center, the Comprehensive Cancer Control Collaborative of North Carolina  at the University of North Carolina, and the Fulton County (GA) Department of Health and Wellness) provide funding, technical assistance, and consultation to community organizations and health agencies to encourage them to initiate and/or enhance work towards eliminating racial disparities between African American and other  racial/ethnic groups in breast and cervical cancer.

Through Legacy Grant funding, SUCCEED will support preliminary activities that build toward the implementation of effective strategies for promoting breast and cervical cancer screening and early detection among African American women, with an emphasis on medically underserved women in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.  Legacy Grant funding will support needs assessment, training, coalition building, and other start-up activities.

To be eligible for funding, organizations must be not-for-profit under Section 501 c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and be able to demonstrate a record of providing services to African American populations.  Community-based, faith-based, public health or health care organizations are encouraged to apply.

HIV – RAAP is a HIV risk reduction project for heterosexual African American men and women. It involves seven weekly group sessions , and is designed to create an environment where you can express your opinion and ideas about health issues related to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD's). Your participation may lead to better ways of protecting African American men and women from STD's, including HIV/AIDS.

The goal of the project is to:
•  Get men and women to “RAP” or talk to each other about HIV/AIDS prevention
•  Learn more about healthy ways to prevent the spread of HIV and other STD's
