How State Health Depts Can Maximize the Impact of New Public Health Infrastructure $$

July 26th, 2022 | Now ON-DEMAND

 

The new ARPA funding for strengthening public health infrastructure creates an opportunity to significantly strengthen state health departments and their effectiveness in addressing the complex health challenges facing nearly every community in the nation. It is important that states have a strong application and a high-leverage, strategy for using those dollars.

The needs are so much greater than the funding, so it will be important to invest the funds in ways that generate the greatest positive impact. This webinar shares some high-impact ways to maximize the impact of this money—and to simplify and enhance your CDC-RFA-OE22-2203 application.

Participants will learn:

  • Effective and economical ways to train existing and new staff in strategic skills—like system thinking, enhanced collective impact, and next-generation approaches to monitoring and evaluation.

  • How to build the capacity of both the state and local health departments to design and implement SHIPs and CHIPs that can achieve the desired outcomes, even when budgets are tight.

  • High-impact ways to ramp up the effectiveness of local health departments and their coalitions to address priority health issues

  • How to simplify and improve Performance Management and other requirements for PHAB accreditation or reaccreditation at both state and local levels.

Join us to learn how you can add low-cost, high-value elements to your budget and funding application that will bring benefits for many years to come.

You’ll see how creative partnerships, sharing, eLearning, and group coaching in state-of-the-art practices for high-impact prevention can lead to breakthrough results. We’re keeping this webinar short—just 30 minutes. And you’ll be able to request details that you can easily add to your response to this funding opportunity.
