Q.  Where do I find the information about the RFA?

Q.  When will the application for 2013 funding be released?

A.  The Avon Breast Health Outreach Program is currently reviewing its funding procedures and  will not be issuing a competitive RFP for 2013 funding. Only currently funded agencies will be eligible for 2013 funding.  A competitive application process will be re-instituted July 1, 2013 to compete for 2014 funds.

Q.   How can I get on your mailing list?

Q.  Do governmental agencies fall within your guidelines?

A.  Any publicly-funded government agency wishing to apply may do so only by partnering with a private, non-profit organization or educational institution that will assume fiscal responsibility for and collaborate fully with the proposed program.

Q.  Can the money from your grant be used toward a mobile clinic or mobile mammography unit?

A.  Mobile vans or units are a good way of reaching women who live far from a clinic and several of projects that use mobile vans or units have been and are presently funded. The monies awarded, however, CANNOT be used toward the purchase, restoration, or maintenance of a van or mobile unit. You can however use your Avon BHOP grant to support outreach and education staff working with the mobile clinic.

Q.  My organization applied for the current funding cycle and was rejected; I would like to  know the reason behind the decision. Where can I access that type of information?

A.  You can contact Avon BHOP at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to request feedback on your application from the last grant cycle.
