FY 2021 Notice of Funding Opportunity The Office of Minority Health (OMH) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services administers grant programs to support projects that implement innovative models to improve minority health and reduce health disparities. OMH has released the following notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for which applications are now being accepted. Announcement Number: MP-CPI-21-001 Opportunity Title: Family-Centered Approaches to Improving Type 2 Diabetes Control and Prevention  Award Amount: Up to $500,000 Estimated Total: $1,500,000 Application Due Date: July 13, 2021, 6:00 PM ET This notice solicits applications to fund projects that test interventions to identify family-centered factors that promote self-management and prevention of Type 2 diabetes among racial and ethnic minority and disadvantaged families who have a family member(s) aged 12 and older with Type 2 diabetes. Through the testing of family-centered interventions, OMH expects the Family-Centered Approaches to Improving Type 2 Diabetes Control and Prevention initiative to identify specific family-centered factors (e.g., structural, instrumental, functional, cultural, and social needs) that affect patient self-management of diabetes (e.g., physical activity, healthy nutrition) and family members' health outcomes. The target population for the intervention is racial/ethnic minority and disadvantaged families with a family member(s) aged 12 and older with Type 2 diabetes. For the purposes of this notice, "family" also includes persons who may live in the same household as the individual with Type 2 diabetes. Learn more about this NOFO and how to apply. A technical assistance webinar for potential applicants will be held Thursday, May 20, 2021, from 3:00-4:00 PM ET. Click here to register for the webinar.
