SC DHEC grants often addressed both prevention and early detection. To account for this, in the “number of grants” column, the Prevention and Early Detection rows each contain any grant with a focus in these areas, but the “grant total” column includes the number of unduplicated grants awarded. For the SC DHEC “grant amount” column, grants addressing both Prevention and Early Detection were assumed to be equally allocated to both Prevention and Early Detection.
Grant funds were used to conduct evaluations that were objectives within the Research chapter of the cancer plan.
Advocacy and Policy overlapped with other chapters. To account for this, grants funded for advocacy work were allocated to the content area addressed. Total funds distributed to Advocacy and Health Policy are also included separately.
