NCI’s CRCHD Launches National Colorectal Cancer Outreach and Screening Initiative

Increasing colorectal screening rates in the U.S. is part of the 10 recommendations by the Blue Ribbon Panel for the Cancer Moonshot, announced in October 2016 and endorsed by the National Cancer Advisory Board. In response to these recommendations, the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) is pleased to announce the launch of the National "Screen to Save" (S2S) Colorectal Cancer Outreach and Screening Initiative. This innovative initiative aims to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among racially and ethnically diverse and rural communities.

Working through the NCI-supported National Outreach Network, community health educators will provide culturally-tailored, evidence-based colorectal cancer information, education, and screening resources within racially and ethnically diverse and rural communities nationwide.
