Center for Sharing Public Health Services: 2020 Small Grants Program (United States)
Deadline: 11-Sep-20
The Center for Sharing Public Health Services is offering small grants to support work on cross-jurisdictional sharing (CJS) arrangements designed to advance health equity by addressing social determinants of health (e.g., affordable housing, jobs with fair pay, quality education, affordable healthy food and public safety), the public health response to COVID-19, structural racism or other related issues.

This funding opportunity is available for proposals that support a specific CJS arrangement or an effort to use CJS as a systems change tool.
Specific CJS arrangements: For specific CJS arrangements, the program will fund proposals for planning, implementing or improving (but not exploring) specific sharing agreements in the Spectrum categories Service-Related Arrangements, Shared Programs or Functions, or Regionalization/Consolidation.
CJS as a systems change tool: Many local public health systems throughout the nation are engaged in a variety of initiatives to change the way public health services are organized, managed and delivered throughout state and local jurisdictions. These efforts aim to modernize public health and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public health service delivery and CJS has been regarded as one tool that could achieve desired impacts. The program will fund proposals aimed at impacting the public health system at a regional or state level (e.g., proposals for exploring the role of a state health agency in promoting or removing barriers for local CJS agreements; developing multi-region or statewide mechanisms or models for CJS arrangements; using CJS in a specific program or functional area that can serve as a model for other programs or functions; and other related projects).
For funded applications, Center staff will provide feedback and technical assistance as needed, beginning with finalizing plans and continuing throughout the duration of the funding period.
