Home Transforming Health Care Request for Proposals
IHN-CCO and the Delivery System Transformation Committee (DST) invite interested community partners in Benton, Lincoln, and Linn counties who can positively impact the health and wellbeing of IHN-CCO members to submit pilot proposals that transform the healthcare delivery system or to submit proposals to support DST committee engagement for new partners.
IHN-CCO and the DST are committed to advancing strategies for health equity as an organization and committee, but are also working to support the development, growth, and sustainability of equity-focused, transformational work throughout the region. It is with this commitment in mind that IHN-CCO and the DST strongly encourage providers, agencies, and community-based organizations working within and for marginalized communities to apply.
In alignment with the 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), the DST committee has chosen the following priority areas. To be considered for funding, all proposals must address one or more of the areas below and clearly indicate how the proposed project would advance relevant CHIP goals and strategies for the chosen priority area(s). All proposals must also clearly address Inclusion, Diversity, Anti-Racism & Equity (IDARE).
The full 2024-2028 CHIP can be accessed here.
New Partner Engagement Funding is available for new partners to the DST committee. In alignment with the DST’s strategic equity goals, organizations or projects led by priority populations identified by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) are strongly encouraged to apply and will be prioritized for funding. Priority populations include communities of color, tribal communities (including the nine federally recognized tribes of Oregon and other American Indians and Alaska Natives people), immigrant and refugee communities, migrant and seasonal farmworkers, individuals and families with low income, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.
The intention of this funding opportunity is to invite new partners to get to know the DST, participate in DST meetings and workgroups, and provide some additional support to carry out small-scale project work.
Pilot Project Funds are available for larger-scale proposals focused on innovation and system transformation. Pilot projects should either be a new idea or bring in an existing idea that would be new to our region, or carried out in a new, creative way. Pilots should take on the challenges of changing systems and breaking down barriers.
The DST committee is committed to supporting projects that promote community-driven and community-focused approaches to health and wellbeing by including and elevating the lived experiences and ideas of communities facing health disparities caused by systemic oppression.
Please note that applicants are not permitted to apply for both Pilot Project Funding and New Partner Engagement Funding at the same time. One proposal per applicant.
IHN-CCO will host two virtual Request for Proposals Q & A sessions. Registration is required.
This Zoom Registration link provides access to either meeting date. Spanish interpretation will be available.
