The Health Team is requesting all applicants for Safety-net Enhancement Initiative planning grants include as part of their proposal packets an audit for the lead agency and a list of the names and affiliations for the lead agency’s board of directors.

Both items have been included in the requirements list on the Health Program’s Application Process page.

The Safety-net Enhancement Initiative is a two-part grant opportunity designed to reduce disparities and improve the health outcomes of low-income children and adults by enhancing collaboration among the agencies and institutions providing health and social supports in their communities. Part 1 of the four-year initiative is a program planning and design phase. Part 2 is a demonstration phase.

The application deadline for Part 1 – the program planning and design phase – is 9:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on November 16, 2009. Grant award announcements will be made in January 2010. Visit the Caring Communities page for a complete description of the initiative.
