TEAM Up Project
CSREES is partnering with the National
Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and the American
Cancer Society to promote breast and cervical
cancer screening for rarely- or never-screened
women. The National Cancer Institute features
a Cancer
Control PLANET portal, which provides
Web-based access to data and research-tested
resources that can help researchers design,
implement, and evaluate evidence-based
cancer control programs.
The TEAM Up project is also a Cooperative
Extension System pilot project in six states:
Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri,
South Carolina, and Tennessee.
The project uses evidence-based interventions
to reach underserved women. State teams include
representatives of the four national agencies
and organizations who design interventions
with the goal of reducing cancer mortality
through screening promotions. Cooperative
extension faculties are state team members.
