OMH has released a new funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for which applications are now being accepted. Announcement Number: MP-CPI-20-006 Opportunity Title: National Infrastructure for Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19 within Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities Award Ceiling: $22,000,000 in year 1 Award Floor: $10,000,000 in year 1 Estimated Total: $40,000,000 Application Due Date: May 11, 2020, 6:00 PM ET OMH announces the National Infrastructure for Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19 within Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities Initiative. The initiative seeks to develop and coordinate a strategic and structured national network of national, state/territorial/tribal and local public and community-based organizations that will mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on racial and ethnic minority, rural and socially vulnerable populations through: (1) the coordinated development and dissemination of culturally and linguistically diverse information; (2) dissemination of information on available COVID-19 testing and vaccination, other healthcare, and social services, especially in geographic communities highly impacted by COVID-19 and at highest risk for adverse outcomes; and (3) dissemination of effective strategies for COVID-19 response, recovery, and resilience. The initiative is expected to result in: (1) improved reach of COVID-19-related public health messaging to racial and ethnic minority, rural and socially vulnerable populations; (2) increased connection to healthcare and social services for racial and ethnic minority, rural and socially vulnerable populations; (3) decreased disparities in COVID-19 testing and vaccination rates among racial and ethnic minority populations in highly impacted geographic areas; and (4) enhanced state/territorial/tribal capacity and infrastructure to support response, recovery, and resilience for racial and ethnic minority, rural and socially vulnerable populations. OMH anticipates funding one award for a project period of up to 3 years and total project funding up to $40 million.
