Grants open to a wide range of community organizations, including rural and Tribal transportation authorities
The United States’ Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that approximately $70 million in grants will be awarded to be used for projects that will improve the health of small communities. These funds support communities with populations of up to 500,000 people to increase opportunities to prevent chronic diseases and promote health. The grants will be administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are part of the Community Transformation Grants program.
These grants are open to a wide range of community organizations, including rural and Tribal transportation authorities.
Grant applications are due by July 31, 2012, and a Letter of Intent must be submitted to apply for this program.
Letters of Intent are to be submitted by June 18, 2012, at 5 pm EST, and are required in order to be considered for the grant.
