The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture has awarded a $5.7M Project Grant to the Extension Foundation under the Extension Collaborative on Immunization Teaching & Engagement (EXCITE) program (CFDA 10.229). The grant, awarded on April 1, 2024, supports two key objectives: 1) increasing awareness of eligibility for the CDC's Bridge Access Program that provides no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to uninsured and underinsured adults, and 2) boosting awareness of how to access these free updated COVID-19 vaccines, with a focus on rural and underserved populations. The Extension Foundation, a non-profit organization that manages national Cooperative Extension System programs, will coordinate outreach and education efforts to address gaps in COVID-19 vaccine access and confidence among priority communities.
