Kentucky Healthy Rural Communities Grants Program
The Community and Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky (CEDIK) through the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, along with Kentucky Office of Rural Health (KORH) and the Kentucky Hospital Association (KHA), is interested in funding efforts to support Healthy Rural Communities. This program provides funds to rural hospitals and healthcare coalitions to assist them in addressing health issues in their communities. This program was created to support hospitals and their communities as they implement the Affordable Care Act mandated Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA).
During the first year of this program we anticipate funding three to four planning grants in Kentucky. In future years, if funding allows, we will support 1 to 3 implementation grants, in addition to planning grants. This year maximum planning grants will be $5,000.
The proposal deadline is Friday September 30, 2013. Hard copies and electronic copies must be in receipt by 4pm on September 30th, 2013. There are no exceptions.
