Mini-grants are an increasingly common tool for engaging communities in evidence-based interventions for promoting public health. This article describes efforts by 4 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Cancer Institute-funded Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network centers to design and implement mini-grant programs to disseminate evidence-based interventions for cancer prevention and control. This article also describes source of evidence-based interventions, funding levels, selection criteria, time frame, number and size of grants, types of organizations funded, selected accomplishments, training and technical assistance, and evaluation topics/methods. Grant size ranged from $1000 to $10 000 (median = $6250). This mini-grant opportunity was characterized by its emphasis on training and technical assistance for evidence-based programming and dissemination of interventions from National Cancer Institute's Research-Tested Intervention Programs and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Guide to Community Preventive Services. All projects had an evaluation component, although they varied in scope. Mini-grant processes described can serve as a model for organizations such as state health departments working to bridge the gap between research and practice.
小额赠款日益成为让社区参与基于证据的干预措施以促进公共卫生的常用工具。本文介绍了4个由疾病控制与预防中心/国家癌症研究所资助的癌症预防与控制研究网络中心为设计和实施小额赠款项目所做的努力，这些项目旨在传播基于证据的癌症预防与控制干预措施。本文还描述了基于证据的干预措施的来源、资金水平、选择标准、时间框架、赠款数量和规模、受资助组织的类型、选定的成果、培训和技术援助以及评估主题/方法。赠款规模从1000美元到10000美元不等（中位数为6250美元）。这个小额赠款机会的特点是强调为基于证据的项目规划提供培训和技术援助，以及传播来自国家癌症研究所的经过研究测试的干预项目和疾病控制与预防中心的《社区预防服务指南》中的干预措施。所有项目都有一个评估部分，尽管其范围各不相同。所描述的小额赠款流程可以为州卫生部门等致力于弥合研究与实践差距的组织提供一个模式。
