The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP), is seeking applications for projects to increase vaccine confidence among adults and children (parents and guardians) across the United States. The initiative aims to enhance the work of local communities and their partnerships with immunization "champions" to identify, plan, implement, and evaluate evidence-based practices. Projects will focus on improving confidence in the vaccine, the provider, and related policies, particularly among populations with low vaccination rates such as African Americans and rural residents. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations, including tribal governments, higher education institutions, and non-profit organizations. Applications are due by August 21, 2024, and the estimated award date is September 25, 2024, with a project start date of September 30, 2024.
The funding opportunity anticipates making up to 4 awards ranging from $115,000 to $250,000 per year for up to 3 years, totaling $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2024. The funding is provided under the Research, Monitoring and Outcomes Definitions for Vaccine Safety (CFDA 93.344) and Public Health Service Evaluation Funds (CFDA 93.343) grant programs, which are administered by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.
