NACCHO is offering a funding opportunity for a facilitator or facilitation team to design and lead the Virtual Best Practices Convening. This event will provide a platform for OT21-2103 grant recipients and their partners to address health disparities and promote health equity through shared learning and collaboration. The RFP may be accessed here.

The convening will focus on aligning discussions and sessions with the initiative’s below mentioned four strategic priorities to address COVID-19-related health disparities and advance health equity:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Build, leverage, and expand infrastructure support for COVID-19 prevention and control among populations that are at higher risk and underserved.
4. 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.

One award of up to $50,000 is available for this project. Proposals must be submitted by Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET, and the project period will run from the date of contract execution through July 31, 2025.
