The Seed Grants will provide coalitions the resources to drive innovative, community-focused adult immunization initiatives within the workplace. In compliance with all federal and state laws, activities may:
- Provide adult immunization educational information derived from CDC’s immunization schedule;
- Strengthen and support adult immunization infrastructure;
- Focus on advancing the employer/employee knowledge level of vaccine preventable diseases;
- Advance awareness and understanding of the role of adult immunizations in employer focused prevention efforts;
- Focus on systemic, sustainable, achievable, and measurable change related to adult immunization;
- Identify, measure, and remove barriers to access for adult immunization; and
- Build upon and/or collaborate with existing local community adult immunization initiatives.
NBCH will award $120,000 to member coalitions to support Adult Immunization efforts within a given community. If interested in applying, please send Carly McKeon an email signaling interest by Friday, October 14th. Applications are due Monday, November 7th. Awardees will be announced early December and will have through the end of 2012 to plan and develop their adult immunization strategy.
Materials and resources relative to this project can be found on the CCHI website and include Adult Immunization Resources as well as the Seed Grant Application (also attached).
Please direct all inquiries, comments, and questions to my attention. Thanks in advance!
