Purpose

The ComPASS OT2 program will provide funding for community organizations working in partnership with research organizations to develop, implement, assess, and disseminate health equity structural interventions designed to break the cycle of health disparities. Applications that focus on rural communities are encouraged.

Project goals will be accomplished in 3 phases:

  • Intervention planning and development phase - Community organizations will establish multisectoral partnerships, determine multiple health outcomes of interest, and solidify the structural factors to target, all of which will culminate with the development of a draft structural intervention strategy.
  • Intervention implementation phase - Implementing the structural intervention
  • Intervention assessment, dissemination, and sustainability phase - Assessing and disseminating structural intervention results and implementing research capacity and structural intervention sustainability plans
