Duke Health, which includes the School of Medicine and the CTSI is excited to announce a third round of Rapid Response funding for the Community Initiative to Advance Health Equity Together Through Education and Outreach Grant Program. Community serving organizations are encouraged to apply for funding to enhance capacity for health promoting activities geared towards historically and currently marginalized communities. This initiative helps communities to address a wide range of preventable and treatable chronic diseases (ex. obesity, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease) and communicable diseases (ex. influenza/flu, COVID-19). In addition, this initiative supports activities that provide access to accurate, timely, and trustworthy information and/or services for healthy nutrition related to the prevention and management of chronic diseases. We plan to award eight community-based organizations (CBOs). Each organization will receive $7,000 funding and proposed program activities must be implemented between January 2025 and June 2025.

Applications are due by 11:59pm Monday December 16, 2024

This funding program aims to enhance access to accurate, culturally relevant information on chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, COVID-19, and influenza among historically marginalized communities, particularly Black and Latine populations. The focus of the initiative for this funding cycle will promote healthier nutrition habits, early detection, and better management of chronic or communicable diseases. It will also foster partnerships to improve access to educational resources and community services, encourage lifestyle changes through activities like community gardening, cooking classes, food boxes, and walking clubs, and expand the "food as medicine" approach. Solutions and recommendations will be community-driven, based on lived experiences, to address health equity and broader socioeconomic determinants of health in Durham and the surrounding region.

This RFA is sponsored by the Duke School of Medicine, Duke Health, and Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI).
