Application Attachment for Hospital Based Violence Intervention Grant - Oregon

This file is an application attachment for a grant opportunity administered by the State of Oregon to support Hospital Based Violence Intervention Programs (HVIPs). The funding initiative targets planning and development of HVIPs outside Multnomah County and existing geographic catchment areas through seed grants. The program seeks to establish partnerships between Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and health systems providing emergency room and urgent care services. Applicants are expected to participate in a learning community focused on exploring collaborative partnerships and planning for future HVIP implementation. The application document provides the framework and requirements for organizations to submit grant proposals detailing their partnership structures, implementation plans, and organizational capacity to advance violence intervention initiatives.

The grant program prioritizes the development of a statewide learning community in Oregon composed of CBOs and health systems committed to violence intervention work. Eligible applicants must demonstrate the ability to establish meaningful partnerships between community-based and health system entities, with emphasis on regions currently underserved by existing HVIP infrastructure. The seed grant funding is intended to support planning activities and partnership development rather than full program implementation, enabling organizations to build the foundational relationships and strategic plans necessary for future program establishment and expansion.
