Creating a UserFriendly, Central Repository of Resources for New and Current Grants Applicants
The Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is working to eradicate breast cancer as a lifethreatening disease by advancing research, education, screening, and treatment. The goal of this Capstone project was to determine the resources needed for targeted organizations to prepare a strong grants application, giving special attention to smaller, innovative organizations that work with hardtoreach populations. The team presented a set of recommendations on improving Komen GNYC applicant resources, a set of new tools for applicants, and recommendations on improving the layout and content on the Komen GNYC website. To inform these recommendations and tools, the Capstone team performed a needs assessment of current, past, and prospective applicants and other Komen affiliates, as well as a thorough review of applicant resources provided by Komen GNYC.
