# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The single-source award will focus on evaluations of the evidence on the effectiveness of preventive interventions that may reduce cancer incidence or mortality in the United States and other countries.

IARC is uniquely qualified for this award because no other organization, within the United States or elsewhere, convenes internationally recognized experts to rigorously evaluate scientific evidence on the effectiveness of preventive interventions that may reduce cancer incidence or mortality.

IARC is the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization. To accomplish its mission, the IARC Handbooks on Cancer Prevention program provides definitive, independent evidence-based evaluations of cancer-preventive interventions.

The program was established more than 20 years ago to identify and assess which interventions can prevent cancer or detect cancer at an early stage, to reduce cancer cases worldwide and save lives. The handbooks are regarded as trustworthy sources of information by national and international health agencies around the world.
