Agency-specific Content for the Notice of Funding Opportunity
A. Program Description
This grant opportunity supports partnership development, expansion, and place-based interventions that
address social determinants of health in populations that experience health disparities. Awardees will
receive funding for either Capacity Building or Implementation. The Capacity Building component focuses
on partnership development, needs assessment and program planning for future implementation,
including the development of a logic model. The Implementation component focuses on partnership
expansion and program implementation using a logic model and evaluation.
1. Program Details
These multi-sectorial partnerships (collaborative of partners) will work to address a health disparity
within a geographic area, with the goal of creating healthy resilient communities (HRCs). Awarded HRCs
will receive funding and technical assistance to support the work of multi-sectoral collaboratives in
planning or implementing public health solutions responsive to high-priority health disproportions within
a geographically defined space and community.
Applications are sought from local health departments, or lead organizations with the capacity to
function as a fiscal agent and are partnered with at least one local health department. Each HRC will use
collaborative, community-engaged approaches to develop and implement tailored interventions that
utilize and recognize the unique assets and challenges of their communities.
Awarded HRCs must ensure that their interventions align with the relevant priorities articulated in the
Illinois State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) and/or the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs
(IPLAN) of the local health department within the HRC.
2. Services
Applicants may apply for either the Capacity Building component of the HRC grant up to $75,000 or the
Implementation component of the HRC grant up to $150,000. Applicants may not apply for both
components.

Capacity Building Component (up to $75,000)
This component focuses on partnership development, needs assessments of the focused populations and
preparing for future program implementation.
Implementation Component (up to $150,000)

implementation, and evaluation of the organization’s action plan to address health disparities in their
HRC.
