The New Mexico Health Equity Partnership (HEP) believes every New Mexican should have the opportunity to lead a healthy life, live in neighborhoods where children and families thrive, and have a say in the decisions that impact their lives. We are excited to announce a funding opportunity to support two Health Impact Assessments that center Indigenous peoples, communities of color, immigrants, and refugees to conduct community-driven research to improve policies that impact community health in Bernalillo, Doña Ana, McKinley, or San Juan counties. Priority will be given to HIAs informing education or employment focused policies or plans. You can read more about our approach and the values we bring to HIA here. The HIA project period will be January 2020 – December 2020. Grantees will receive in person HIA training; a webinar series on the HIA steps and a platform for peer learning; ongoing coaching provided by New Mexico technical assistance providers and HEP staff; and up to $35,000. Applications are due by October 15, 2019.
We strongly encourage all interested applicants to participate in the HIA 101 webinar on August 20, 2019 @ 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm to learn about HIA and HEP's approach to the process. Participants may include those interested in this funding cycle and/or those interested in HIA. You can register for the webinar here. Please reach out to jjensen@nmhep.org for more information. |
