“80% by 2018”
American Cancer Society National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable campaign that asked health systems, community health centers, health plans, employers, medical societies and others to pledge to screen 80% of eligible adults for colorectal cancer, first by 2018 (more than 1,500 organizations signed), then as "80% in Every Community". Much of the work is aimed at clinicians and practices: provider recommendation, office systems, patient navigation.

Research notes
Clinician- and system-facing campaign. Discovered 2026-10-22 (clinician-campaigns pass). Fetched 2026-10-22: NCCRT 80% in Every Community page (9.3M additional adults screened 2012-2018) and 2018 Wayback copy (1,500+ organizations). startYear 2014 (launch of 80% by 2018) and "co-founded with CDC" are from general knowledge, not a fetched page - verify. That the 80% goal was not reached nationally is inferred from the follow-on campaign; confirm with NCCRT data. Mixed audience: kept clinicians first because Kalman asked for clinician-targeted campaigns. Procurement search 2026-10-22: no federal contract names the NCCRT or 80% by 2018. CDC funds the American Cancer Society through cooperative agreements (e.g. NU58DP006460, comprehensive cancer control technical assistance 2018-2023), not contracts, so no creative vendor appears in award records.
