The Cobb & Douglas Public Health Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Partnership Grants are designed to empower community partners in implementing initiatives that directly support the 2023-2027 CHIP for Cobb and Douglas Counties in Georgia. This program aligns with the foundation's mission to improve public health outcomes by fostering collaborative, sustainable, and impactful community-led projects. The grants serve as seed money for non-profit initiatives, emphasizing a commitment to long-term health equity and community well-being. The primary target beneficiaries are residents within Cobb and/or Douglas County, with a particular focus on addressing health disparities and promoting health equity. The impact goals are broad, aiming to improve access to health care, encourage healthy behaviors (such as physical activity, healthy sexual behaviors, worksite wellness, chronic disease prevention, and reducing youth tobacco use), promote healthy eating, enhance maternal and infant health, and support mental and behavioral health. These goals are directly tied to the strategic priorities outlined in the 2023-2027 CHIP. The program prioritizes new or expanded efforts that are collaborative, requiring a minimum of one partnership, and include letters of support from partnering agencies. Initiatives must align with a goal area and strategy identified in the CHIP, and importantly, incorporate policy development activities, systems-level improvements, or built environment changes (PSE changes). This focus on PSE changes reflects the foundation's strategic approach and theory of change, recognizing that these systemic interventions lead to practical, sustainable health choices and benefits that extend far beyond the project's completion, by altering laws, shaping physical landscapes, and ensuring lasting community improvements. Expected outcomes include measurable improvements in the identified CHIP goal areas. By funding initiatives that create PSE changes, the program aims to ensure that residents experience lasting positive impacts on their health. While awards will not exceed $25,000 per applicant, and requests up to $5,000 do not require a 1:1 match, the emphasis remains on the sustainability and community-wide reach of the proposed projects. Ultimately, the program seeks to create a healthier environment for all community members, driven by strategic, collaborative efforts that address the root causes of health challenges.

This program will support projects to identify and characterize factors associated with gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) that may impact/contribute significantly to the prevention and treatment of HIV and/or co-infections with other sexually transmitted infections (STI)s in transgender individuals. For this funding opportunity GAHT is defined as a medical intervention, including but not limited to estrogen and/or testosterone treatment, that results in acquisition of secondary sex characteristics that align with an individual's gender identity. A growing body of data indicates that GAHT may impact the effectiveness and implementation of biomedical HIV prevention or treatment strategies and/or co-infections with other STIs. A number of factors in transgender populations present research challenges including variability in GAHT regimens, use of auxiliary drugs during GAHT care, access to participants, and access to existing cohorts, datasets, and samples. Consideration of appropriate controls, including cis-gender men and women is also a barrier. Recent studies demonstrating recruitment and retention of participants undergoing GAHT provide the opportunity to build on those studies and provide confidence that these critical studies are feasible.Letter of Intent Due Date(s) 30 days prior to the application due date
