## What the grant funds

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and second leading cause of cancer death among women. Breast cancer diagnosed in women younger than 45 is often more aggressive1, presents at an advanced stage, impacts life expectancy, and oftentimes result in physical, psychosocial, and financial challenges stemming from diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, a significant proportion of young women diagnosed with breast cancer will eventually develop metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and about 30% of women with metastatic breast cancer live 5 years2. A recent study reported that the incidence of mBC in young women has increased by more than 2% per year, each year since 1976 to present3. The intensity of care for mBC is significant and expensive, particularly in younger women with more aggressive and harder to treat tumors. Psychosocial and structural support services, which are services designed to help meet mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of survivors and their families, have the propensity to improve the quality of life among this population4,5. Within this population, there are communities who would benefit from additional survivorship support. These priority populations include, but are not limited to, women in racial/ethnic groups (e.g., African American, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Hispanic, Ashkenazi Jewish, Native American women, etc.), LGBT communities, low socio-economic groups, and women with physical or mental/emotion disabilities. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks to provide support to organizations and entities whose actions will improve the quality of life among young breast cancer survivors (YBCS) and young metastatic breast cancer patients (mBC). The outcomes of this NOFO are to 1) increase equitable access and availability of psychosocial and structural support services for YBCS, mBC patients, and their families and 2) improve patient-provider interactions during follow up and subsequent care. The approach that undergirds this NOFO focuses on fostering collaborative relationships with organizations that represent and serve priority populations and Comprehensive Cancer Control coalitions for the purposes of providing equitable access to psychosocial and structural support for survivors and their families and educational opportunities to this priority population, healthcare providers, community health workers (CHW), and patient navigators (PN).
