GRANT SUPPORT
Our grant support services focus on helping clients as they develop grant proposals and documenting results. We’ve written a number of successful grant applications to agencies including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, Indian Health Service, Centers for Disease Control, Center for State and Territorial Epidemiologists, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, the Indian Health Service, and more. These grants have resulted in more than $45 million dollars in grant funding for communities address community-identified health disparities.
Our services range from facilitating the grant application process through planning activities and discussions among partners, to reviewing, writing and/or editing sections of the proposal itself. We strive to work closely with our clients to develop proposals that reflect their needs and what the community views as most important to them.
