RFP of the Day: CDC REACH (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health)

The CDC just released the REACH (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health) RFA. REACH grants can be used for a variety of project concepts to prevent chronic diseases, and reduce health disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest risk, or burden, of chronic disease, specifically for African Americans/Blacks, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Alaska Natives. The objective is to address the preventable health behaviors of tobacco use, poor nutrition and physical inactivity; linking community and clinical efforts to increase access to health care and preventive care programs at the community level; and supporting implementation, evaluation and dissemination of practice- and evidence-based strategies related to tobacco, nutrition, physical activity, and community-clinical linkages that ultimately lead to reduced health disparities in chronic conditions of hypertension, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The deadline is July 16, and there is $125,000,000 available with grants to $900,000/year for five years.
