The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to expand Child and Adolescent Health Center (CAHC) programs, focusing on school-based or school-linked health services. This initiative will support models such as CAHC and School Wellness programs, providing a secure environment for children and adolescents to learn about disease prevention and receive necessary medical care and support.
This grant will award a total of $4.46 million, with individual grants ranging from $180,000 to $330,000. It will be implemented during a four-month period, between June 1 and Sept. 30, 2024. Priority will be given to proposed sites in counties lacking an existing CAHC clinical program.
Applications are due March 12, 2024, by 3 p.m. Members wishing to apply for this RFP must initiate the registration of both the agency and users, complete a Project Director Request and submit it with the proposal. MDHHS will answer questions related to the grant application through Jan. 26, and will host a pre-application webinar Jan. 23 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The application process is electronic through the MI E-Grants system and detailed instructions are available on the EGrAMS website.
Members with questions may contact Lauren LaPine at the MHA.
