Community-led projects
Community applicants must be a Wisconsin-based nonprofit, tax exempt, 501(c)(3) organization or a tribal or government entity.
While this grant mechanism does not require an academic partner, working in collaboration with a partner within the UW System or UW-Extension is
encouraged. Academic partners can include UW-Madison faculty or academic staff with temporary or full Principal Investigator (PI) status.
Examples of eligible community-led projects include:
-
development of community-based/community-responsive infrastructure to distribute food, medication or other immediate health-related needs to those experiencing the greatest disparities in access as
a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
-
developing and implementing outreach mechanisms to provide mental health support to those at greatest risk for suffering from social isolation
-
development and implementation of outreach mechanisms to provide information about basic health resources to communities (e.g., where to find food, how to access enrichment activities for children,
and effective risk reduction efforts and models that are used across the state)
-
training for community health workers to provide remote education on COVID-19 infection prevention
·
innovative community-designed responses to the short-term impact of COVID-19 on the social determinants of health with consideration of the expected health-related
socio-economic impacts that result from this pandemic
