The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Cornell University a $349,931 Project Grant under the Rural Health and Safety Education (RHSE) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.516). The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, aims to build public health competence and "public health identities" among cooperative extension teams in rural New York communities, facilitate the development of coordinated public health improvement plans, support planning to expand extension programming to underserved areas, and evaluate the program's impacts on increasing the use of health promotion initiatives that enhance community health, wellbeing, and quality of life. The project will leverage the trusted status of cooperative extension staff to deliver culturally relevant, sustainable public health programming and address social determinants of health in rural areas.
