Small Community Health Grants Available for 2008
Application Due Date: December 21, 2007
One-time grants of up to $2,000 are available from the Southeast Nebraska Area Health Education Center (SE-AHEC) and the UNMC Rural Health Education Network Office for health-related programs. Grant-funded projects must be completed by August 1, 2008 and all paper work must be filed with SE-AHEC by August 18, 2008.
The small community health grant program is designed to encourage schools and local organizations to work together to address special health needs in their community. There are two categories of funding available:
· Programs that promote health careers to students or improve community health; and
· Programs that provide continuing education to local and regional health care providers.
Some examples of programs funded in previous years under the health career/community health category include: health career clubs for students that include field trips (locally or to UNMC); community health fairs; community CPR training; and health career information for use by high school counselors. Types of continuing education programs that have been funded in the past include: diabetes education and obesity/fitness programs, trauma nursing course updates, and community responses to drug-resistant bacteria, to name just a few.
