Funding Opportunity – Partnering to Advance Health Outcomes through Innovation and Collaboration
(Oct. 25, 2024) – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and KU Medical Center are offering a new funding opportunity called PartnerSHIP: Partnering to Advance Health Outcomes through Innovation and Collaboration. The funding is available through the Healthy Kansans 2030 State Health Improvement Plan, developed by KDHE through a planning effort involving diverse stakeholders across Kansas.
The four priorities for 2023-2027 are:
- Address inequalities that improve health outcomes.
- Develop collaborative systems that increase healthcare access and delivery.
- Ensure access to health information that empowers communities to improve their quality of life.
- Expand systems of funding and support that allow the public health system and its collaborative partners to improve health.
To support local innovation and action, grants of up to $37,000 are being offered to organizations interested in engaging in partnerships and activities to advance these priorities. Organizations interested in applying for this grant should identify as a 501(c)3 nonprofit and be connected to a coalition or collaborative with representation from multiple partners. Applicants from a coalition or organization without 501(c)3 status, but using a 501(c)3 fiscal sponsor, will be considered. Organizations based in rural or frontier communities are especially encouraged to apply. There is an interested applicant webinar on Nov. 12. The grant applications are due at midnight on Dec. 1.
