What is See, Test & Treat?

See, Test & Treat is a CAP Foundation supported, one-day, pathologist-led screening and health education program that brings the power of diagnostic medicine to medically underserved populations with the goals of:

  • Addressing health disparities by reducing barriers to care for medically underserved people through health care system partnerships.
  • Empowering prevention by delivering dignified screenings with same-day or prompt results and health education.
  • Connecting patients and their families to a medical home and resources within their own communities.

Since 2011, the CAP Foundation has been providing institutions across the US  with funding to host  See, Test & Treat programs, providing community access to free  breast and cervical cancer screenings. Nearly  9,000 women have received these preventative and lifesaving screenings to include getting same day results,  valuable health education and follow up care as needed.

  • As of 2026,  See, Test & Treat began expanding the scope of its grant funding to enable programs to reach and meet the needs of even MORE communities. Grantees are now given the option to provide free cervical cancer screenings plus at least one other screening with prompt results, connection to follow-up care, interpretive services, impactful health education, and translated educational materials to take home. There is also more flexibility with the turnaround time of the screening results, enabling grantees in areas with limited resources to serve their communities with options available in their community.
What is Expected of See, Test & Treat Grantees?
  • Adhere to the 5 Core Components of See, Test & Treat
  • Provide at least 50 patients with cervical cancer screenings and one or more "Supported screenings".
  • Collect and report program data to the CAP Foundation, as well as report aggregate outcomes on patients that needed follow up care at 3 months and 6 months after the program.
  • Provide a budget reconciliation with supporting documents to the CAP Foundation.
  • Collect patient and volunteer stories that will be used to promote See, Test & Treat to communities and potential funding sources.
Who Can Host a See, Test & Treat Program?
  • Only institutions receiving See, Test & Treat grant funding from the CAP Foundation and pre-selected non-grantee institutions are allowed to utilize See, Test & Treat branding and materials
  • Any board-certified pathologist in partnership with a 501(c)3 non-profit organization(s) can apply for a grant to support programs taking place in the US
  • All applicants will be considered regardless of age, race, gender, national origin or religion.

Eligibility

This is a competitive grant application process- not all applicants will be awarded funding. Applications will be thoroughly vetted and grants will be based on funding availability, need within your community and past performance for repeat grantees.

The following are funding pathways for See, Test & Treat:

Single-Year Funding

New and repeat applicants are invited to apply for grants up to $20,000 to support eligible program expenses for one year.

Repeat Applicants

Repeat applicants(those who have successfully completed one or more grant cycles of See, Test & Treat) are expected to incorporate a decrease (up to 10% from previous year) in requested funding to gradually work toward program sustainability.

Maintenance SYF Funding

Maintenance SYF funding is available (by invitation only) to “repeat” grantees who:

  • Have completed three grant cycles of See, Test & Treat (including successful execution of program and required reporting)
  • Have screened at least 50 women per program
  • Are requesting $8,000 or less in funding
Multiyear Funding

Multiyear funding (MYF) provides conditional grant funding up to $50,000 over a three-year period. The Foundation reserves the right to reevaluate grant funding based on the availability of funds, meeting of program goals, and the determination that continued funding is in the best interest of your institution and the CAP Foundation. This funding option involves a shared financial commitment in which the hosting institution assumes an annual funding reduction of up to 10%.

A maximum of two MYF funding slots will be available in 2027. Eligibility is open to “repeat” grantees who:

  • Have successfully completed at least one full cycle of See, Test & Treat (program plus outcomes reporting requirements over the last three years)
  • Screened at least 50 women per program

Note, applicants not chosen for MYF are automatically placed in the application pool for single-year funding.
