The Kresge Foundation is webcasting an online, pre-proposal information session to assist organizations interested in applying for Part 1 of the Health Program’s new Safety-net Enhancement Initiative. Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 27, at 3:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time.

The 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. For a complete description of the initiative, read about the Safety-net Enhancement Initiative.
