Purpose

This opportunity provides funding to local public health agencies and other organizations to expand, plan, implement, and evaluate promising practices and develop novel approaches to increase vaccine confidence in local communities, particularly partnerships with organizations that work with populations with low vaccination rates including rural communities. Practical solutions at local levels are needed to help support vaccination efforts in communities by healthcare providers, immunization program managers, immunization advocates, vaccine manufacturers, and other stakeholders.

Goals include:

  • Build and maintain partnerships with local community to determine what specific barriers are preventing confidence in vaccine
  • Develop locally tailored intervention plans to increase vaccine confidence in target populations and evaluation plans
  • Evaluate project processes and outcomes to ensure project effectiveness
  • Share information about the project and its findings with the public

Additional information on project strategies, short-, intermediate-, and long-term outcomes are available in the funding announcement on the program website.

Eligibility

Public or private entities, including state and local governments, faith-based organizations, schools, higher education, and American Indian and Alaska Native organizations, are eligible to apply.
