The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) is the voice of the nearly 3,000 local health departments (LHDs) across the country. These city, county, metropolitan, district, and tribal departments work to protect and improve the health of all people and all communities. NACCHO provides capacity-building resources that support LHD leaders in developing and implementing public health policies and practices to ensure communities have access to the vital programs and services that protect them from disease and disaster. Additionally, NACCHO engages with federal policymakers on behalf of LHDs to ensure adequate resources, appropriate public health legislation, and sensible policies are in place to address the myriad of public health challenges facing communities.
In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NACCHO is pleased to offer a funding opportunity to support the convening of three (3) regional partnership summits which will bring together individuals from tribal, state, and local public health to create action plans for their regions to address syphilis in the American Indian community. Through this funding opportunity, NACCHO will provide up to $450,000 to one (1) organization or individual to plan, convene, and support action planning for 3 regions—Northern Tier (MN, MT, SD, and ND), Southwest (AZ, NM, UT, NV, and CO), and Plains (OK, KS, IA, and NE).
Applications must be submitted by Friday, November 10th at 11:59 PM PT and selections will occur by Friday, November 17th. Check out the RFA for more details.
