COVID-19 Response Program

Limited Submissions

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on cancer patients and survivors. Additionally, access to cancer prevention and screening services may be limited or unavailable due to the pandemic. To help address these issues and find solutions, the CARE Fund seeks to support research that can be immediately initiated and that focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on outcomes, research, risks, or well-being for cancer patients. Examples include, but are not limited to: 

  • Health services research 

  • Basic research toward therapeutics, diagnostics, and vaccines 

  • Behavioral, socio-emotional, and educational well-being 

  • Clinical, translation, and therapeutic discovery 

  • Health disparities 

  • Epidemiology and surveillance 

  • Information, computing, and communication technology 

  • Manufacturing, innovation, and entrepreneurship 

  • Microbiome, immunology, and infection mitigation 

  • Prevention and screening 

The COVID-19 Response Grant Program will provide up to approximately $100,000 per award to organizations (e.g., companies, universities, research institutions, etc.), local health jurisdictions, and tribal governments or entities in Washington State to support research projects at the intersection of COVID-19 and cancer. At the CARE Fund Board’s discretion, promising projects may be awarded more than $100,000. Additionally, at the CARE Fund Board’s discretion, applications may be considered for additional funding should funds become available in the future. The CARE Fund anticipates allocating a total of $500,000 for this cycle of the COVID-19 Response Grant Program.
