OMH has released the following notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for which applications are now being accepted. Announcement Number: MP-CPI-21-001 Opportunity Title: Family-Centered Approaches to Improving Type 2 Diabetes Control and Prevention Award Amount: Up to $500,000 Estimated Total: $1,500,000 Application Due Date: July 13, 2021, 6:00 PM ET This notice solicits applications to fund projects that test interventions to identify family-centered factors that promote self-management and prevention of Type 2 diabetes among racial and ethnic minority and disadvantaged families who have a family member(s) aged 12 and older with Type 2 diabetes. Through the testing of family-centered interventions, OMH expects the Family-Centered Approaches to Improving Type 2 Diabetes Control and Prevention initiative to identify specific family-centered factors (e.g., structural, instrumental, functional, cultural, and social needs) that affect patient self-management of diabetes (e.g., physical activity, healthy nutrition) and family members' health outcomes. The target population for the intervention is racial/ethnic minority and disadvantaged families with a family member(s) aged 12 and older with Type 2 diabetes. For the purposes of this notice, “family” also includes persons who may live in the same household as the individual with Type 2 diabetes. Learn more about this NOFO and how to apply. A technical assistance webinar for potential applicants will be held Thursday, May 20, 2021, from 3:00-4:00 PM ET. Click here to register for the webinar.
