As a training and technical assistance provider of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, the GW Cancer Center proudly shares this month’s Technical Assistance Periodical (TAP) to support your cancer coalition efforts.

As part of the GW Cancer Center's ongoing self-assessment, we are requesting your input to inform our future social media efforts. Please answer our two-question survey about the way your program or coalition uses social media. Thank you in advance for contributing to the success of our work!

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month! Looking for evidence-based communications? Visit the Cancer Control TAP website to see our new Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign! You'll find best practices for communicating about prostate cancer, tips for communicating with diverse audiences, and more! Check it out today!
