COVID-19 Health Equity Pilot Projects
Details
Purpose:
The $5M from the CDC Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Grant is intended to advance the State’s work to close racial, ethnic, and other disparities related to COVID-19 and associated chronic conditions. Community-Based Organizations will use the funding for pilot projects to reduce underlying inequities in the social determinants of health that have contributed to disproportionate harm from the Coronavirus among certain communities.
Description:
• CDPH OHE will be administering $5M from the Centers for Disease and Control Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Grant (totaling $499M) to ~16-30 community based organizations led by and serving communities facing inequities in COVID-19 impacts and infection. Once projects are completed, awardees will be sharing the best practices, outcomes, and impact of their pilot projects to their Local Health Jurisdictions and CDPH, with the goal that successful pilot projects can be replicated to reduce the risks of COVID-19 among priority populations who are taking the burden of COVID-19 impacts.
