Early Grant Information for NGOs
Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has disproportionately affected populations placed at higher risk and who are medically underserved, including racial and ethnic minority groups, and people living in rural communities who are at higher risk of exposure, infection, hospitalization, and mortality. Additionally, racial and ethnic minority groups and people living in rural communities have disproportionate rates of chronic diseases that increase the severity of COVID-19 infection and might experience barriers to accessing testing, treatment, or vaccination against the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19.
Address COVID-19-related health disparities and advance health equity by expanding state, local, US territorial and freely associated state health department capacity and services to prevent and control COVID-19 infection (or transmission) among populations at higher risk and that are underserved, including racial and ethnic minority groups and people living in rural communities.

Reduced COVID-19-related health disparities.
Improved and increased testing and contact tracing among populations at higher risk and that are underserved, including racial and ethnic minority groups and people living in rural communities.
Improved state, local, US territorial and freely associated state health department capacity and services to prevent and control COVID-19 infection (or transmission) among populations at higher risk and that are underserved, including racial and ethnic minority groups and people living in rural communities.
Strategies
The program is composed of four overarching strategies:
Expand existing and/or develop new mitigation and prevention resources and services to reduce COVID-19 related disparities among populations at higher risk and that are underserved: Ensuring equitable access to critical COVID-19 personal protective equipment (PPE), testing, contact tracing, quarantine and isolation, vaccination, and other wrap-around services require deploying focused strategies, resources, and activities to meet the needs of individuals and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among populations disproportionately impacted.
Increase/improve data collection and reporting for populations experiencing a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 infection, severe illness, and death to guide the response to the COVID-19 pandemic: Improving data systems and the collection, analysis, and use of racial, ethnic, and rural health data for COVID-19 prevention and control will help to better identify populations and communities disproportionately affected, track resource distribution, and evaluate the effectiveness of advancing health equity to address COVID-19- related health disparities among disproportionately affected populations.
Build, leverage, and expand infrastructure support for COVID-19 prevention and control among populations that are at higher risk and underserved: Sufficient workforce, infrastructure, and capacity are critical to providing equitable access to disproportionately affected populations. Where feasible, this short-term program will build, leverage, and expand the infrastructure and capacity within state, local, US territorial and freely associated state health departments (or their bona fide agents) to ensure and expand equitable access to critical COVID19 testing and contact tracing, as well as PPE, quarantine and isolation, vaccination, and other wrap-around and supportive services.
Mobilize partners and collaborators to advance health equity and address social determinants of health as they relate to COVID-19 health disparities among populations at higher risk and that are underserved: Identifying and addressing current gaps and factors that influence COVID-19-related health disparities requires a collaborative approach. Under this strategy, collaborations between the primary applicant and key partners will broadly address health disparities and inequities related to COVID-19. (Please refer to Approach section of NOFO for a list of recommended key partners.)
