Coalition Activities by Phase and Year

Grants began in July of 2017 with a one-year planning phase, followed by a three-year implementation phase through June of 2021, and a fifth year of bridge funding with an emphasis on sustainability, ending in June of 2022. During the planning phase, grantees established and/or expanded existing local coalitions, conducted a community assessment, and developed a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The following three years were spent implementing the CHIP, with the final year focused on ensuring the sustainability of the coalitions and their work.
