About this opportunity
The Rural Health and Safety Education Competitive Grants Program is seeking applications from 1862 and 1890 Land Grant colleges and universities to implement community-based outreach education programs that provide individuals and families with information on health, motivation, rural environmental health issues, and health promotion activities. The National Institute of Food and Agriculture will provide up to $5 million in funding and evaluate applications based on their addressed needs assessments, objectives, activities, outcomes, and coordination with relevant health programs. Applications are due by March 14, 2024.
The program anticipates individual award amounts not exceeding $350,000 over three years. Successful applicants will use the grant funds to support rural health education initiatives in the locations of their outreach programs, advancing priorities around opioid misuse prevention, chronic disease reduction, and access to health services for individuals and families in rural areas.
Synopsis
