The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to develop and administer a national network of cancer prevention organizations to promote, in coordination with immunization stakeholders, efforts and activities to improve HPV vaccination delivery for the prevention of HPV-related cancers. This network will include cancer prevention stakeholders with channels to provide education, outreach, and training to the public and providers. Through engagement and coordination with existing immunization stakeholders, this network will work to increase public and provider understanding of the burden of HPV-associated cancers that can be prevented by HPV vaccination and accelerate the full implementation of HPV vaccination so as to further the prevention of HPV-associated cancers. 1. Develop and maintain a national network comprised of cancer-prevention organizations that have the capacity to engage clinical and immunization partners at national, regional, state, tribal, territorial, jurisdictional and local level and actively participate in coordinated efforts to promote HPV vaccination as a strategyfor cancer prevention. 2. Convene a national meeting of cancer prevention and HPV immunization stakeholders to identify strategies to decrease missed opportunities by providers to recommend and administer HPV vaccine and increase parents’ and adolescents’ acceptance of HPV vaccination. 3. Fund and manage several small projects (maximum of 7) or a few large pilot projects (e.g. 1-3) identified by network stakeholders as high priorities for addressing barriers to HPV vaccine uptake. |
