Partnering with National Organizations to Support Community-Based Organizations to Increase Vaccination Coverage Across Different Racial and Ethnic Adult Populations Currently Experiencing Disparities

CDC seeks to build the evidence base of effective interventions to improve vaccination coverage and identify and implement strategies to reduce racial and/or ethnic disparities in adult vaccination coverage. This NOFO’s goal is to support efforts to increase flu and COVID-19 vaccination coverage for adults in racial and/or ethnic populations experiencing disparities in the United States. This NOFO has three parts. All national recipients are responsible for Part A activities and are expected to monitor, evaluate, and support community-based organizations’ (CBOs) implementations of Part C activities. Only 1-2 national recipients will also implement Part B activities. Part A: National Recipients Select approximately 50-100 CBOs, mostly from affiliations and network, to partner with and implement Part C activities at the community level Coordinate, evaluate, and provide technical assistance to funded CBOs Facilitate CBOs’ connection and contributions to the resources and evidence base Provide progress reports to CDC Part B: 1-2 National Recipients Coordinate activities for CBOs and organizations participating in the broader program to share knowledge and expertise Manage materials created by CBOs and organizations participating in the broader program Part C: Community-Based Organizations Equip influential messengers by providing trainings and materials Increase vaccination opportunities and enhance provider partnerships Establish partnerships with state and local health departments
