• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

If an applicant applies for both Component A AND Component B, CDC will determine the application to be non-responsive and it will not receive further review. Only Component B applicants may also apply for Component C. Only applicants that are approved and funded for Component B will be considered for Component C funding. The Component C application must be submitted at the same time as the Component B application. No awards for Component C will be made to Component A applicants. If applying for Component C, three elements are required for submission: a) a separate proposal not to exceed four pages clearly describing the proposed innovation for the demonstration including rationale, approach, expected impact, and evaluation; b) a budget narrative; and c) a workplan. A minimum of 3 eligible tribal entities (i.e., tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian health organizations, or health service providers to tribes) across Components A, B, and C will be funded. For non-tribal applicants, we will fund at least one application in each of the 10 HHS regions with a maximum of 3 awards per state. If a state applies and identifies a particular county(ies) as their catchment area, they must submit a letter from appropriate county-level government confirming the county’s agreement with the application. A locality may apply separately or may join with other localities meeting COVID-19 and poverty requirements and submit an application for a single responsibility for all financial and reporting requirements. A locality joining with other localities for the application must submit a letter from appropriate county-level government confirming the county’s agreement with the application. Applicants must file the letter, as appropriate, name the file “CHW_County Agreement_ApplicantName’, and upload it as a PDF file at www.grants.gov. APPLICANTS MUST CLEARLY STATE WHICH COMPONENT(S) THEY ARE APPLYING FOR IN THEIR PROJECT ABSTRACT.

What the grant funds

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 allocated funds to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to states, localities, territories, tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian health organizations, or health service providers to tribes. CDC announces the availability of funds to achieve the goal of the CARES Act in protecting the American people from the public health impacts of COVID-19. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports this work through training and deployment of community health workers (CHWs) and by building and strengthening community resilience to fight COVID-19 through addressing existing health disparities in the population. Goals of this NOFO will be accomplished in three key areas: Component A: CAPACITY BUILDING Component B: IMPLEMENTATION READY Component C: INNOVATION [demonstration projects] The program strategies include integrating CHWs, also known as promotores de salud, coaches, lay health advisors, community health representatives, peer mentors, or peer navigators, into organizations and care teams and strengthening relevant knowledge, roles, and skills by CHWs so they are prepared to successfully engage with existing state and/or local public health-led actions to manage COVID-19 among priority populations within communities.
