$ AVAILABLE: The mini-grant budget covers expenditures of up to $50,000 in direct costs for a 12-month period.
ELIGIBILITY: The following organizations are eligible to apply: community serving organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based clinics, and tribal nations and organizations. The CDCC is interested in receiving proposals to work with underserved and vulnerable communities not currently engaged with existing RADx-UP awardees; the awardees of the NIH Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 Disparities program; and from organizations with a track record of outreach and service to underserved and vulnerable populations. Though not required, the CDCC also encourages partnerships with existing RADx-UP and CEAL awardees who may be able to collaborate with mini-grant sub-awardees on their outreach and communication, testing, and data collection and dissemination strategies. Eligible organizations may also include in their applications, collaborations with academic institutions, clinical practices, and others.
PURPOSE: The CDCC’s Community Collaboration Mini-Grant Program seeks to support the inclusion of additional community partners and stakeholder groups who are not currently part of the RADx-UP program through CDCC subawards. This program will provide CDCC subawards (“mini-grants”) to increase the capacity for COVID-19 testing expertise within the community. The goal of the program is to improve access to and uptake of diagnostic COVID-19 testing in underserved, COVID-19 medically, geographically, and socially vulnerable populations. This program seeks to increase the capacity for COVID-19 testing expertise within the community. Increasing training, education, communication, information dissemination, and capacity building related to COVID-19 testing, isolation, and contact tracing in communities will increase the ability to decrease COVID-19 transmission and save lives.
