What We Fund and How To Apply

Apply

The Central Oregon Health Council (COHC) invests in regional projects that help us achieve our vision of creating a healthier Central Oregon, and that aligns with the priorities in our Regional Health Improvement Plan (RHIP).  There are currently 9 health improvement priorities in Central Oregon’s RHIP:

  • Behavioral Health Identification and Awareness
  • Behavioral Health Substance Use & Chronic Pain
  • Diabetes: Clinical
  • Cardiovascular Disease: Clinical
  • Cardiovascular Disease & Diabetes Prevention
  • Oral Health
  • Reproductive & Maternal Child Health
  • Housing
  • Milestones to Health and Education

Guided by measurable health indicators, each priority area listed above has a corresponding RHIP workgroup composed of a diverse group of subject matter experts from the region. Workgroup members are accountable for implementing strategies that have a positive impact on their workgroup’s priority area(s), which includes the authority to review grant proposals and approving funding. If you have a proposal that aligns with one of the priority areas in the RHIP, you must present the proposal to the corresponding RHIP workgroup. If you are unsure of how to contact the workgroup to discuss presenting, please reach out to COHC Executive Director Donna Mills at Donna.Mills@cohealthcouncil.org for guidance.

If you have already connected with the appropriate workgroup and have a plan to present, please proceed to the apply button above, where you will need to register in our online grant management system and complete an application.

The deadline to submit an application for the current RHIP is December 20, 2019.

In addition to the RHIP priority areas above, the COHC Board of Directors has identified three broad priority areas for which they would consider funding projects: Behavioral Health, Childhood Trauma, and Stable Housing.  Please contact Executive Director Donna Mills at Donna.Mills@cohealthcouncil.org to inquire about potential funding for a project focused on one of these priority areas.  Projects will be evaluated by the Health Value Team for consideration.
