- People in rural and underserved communities would gain local access to breast and lung cancer screening, targeting gaps where only 4.5% of eligible individuals were screened for lung cancer in 2022.
- Nonprofit hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers, academic health centers, health systems, and consortia could apply for awards up to $2 million each to buy vehicles, imaging tech, and digital tools.
- Awardees must provide at least $1 in nonfederal matching funds for every $3 in federal funds, and the program would prioritize applicants serving high-risk and Indian Health Service areas and those able to provide follow-up care within 90 minutes by ground.
