NACCHO is pleased to offer a funding opportunity for a consultant(s) to lead the development and administration of a series of assessments to better understand the needs and practices of local health departments related to recruitment and retention. Access the RFP here.
The assessment will explore the following questions:
- What are the current practices, processes, needs, and opportunities around onboarding new employees within local health departments?
- What are the perceptions of students (high school, community college, and university, both in and out of public health programs) on public health and local health departments?
- How are fellowship, placement and internships programs being leveraged by local health departments as a workforce extender and how are LHDs converting individuals in these positions into FTEs?
One award of up to $225,000 is available. Selections will be made on or around 12/22/2023, and the project period will run from the date of contract execution to 7/31/2024. Consultants may pose individual questions to NACCHO at any point during the application process by e-mailing Ashley Edmiston at [email protected].
