Description
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), which contained the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260, Section 2, Division M) provided, in part, funding for strategies to improve testing capabilities and other COVID-19 response purposes in populations at high-risk and underserved, including racial and ethnic minority groups and people living in rural communities. Strategies also include those to develop or identify best practices for states and public health officials to use for contact tracing. To achieve these purposes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is announcing a non-competitive grant CDC-RFA-OT21-2103 titled “National Initiative to Address COVID-19 Health Disparities Among Populations at High-Risk and Underserved, Including Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations and Rural Communities.” This grant will provide funding to state, local, US territorial and freely associated state health departments (or their bona fide agents) to address COVID-19-related health disparities and advance health equity by expanding state, local, US territorial and freely associated state health departments capacity and services to prevent and control COVID-19 infection (or transmission).
