Objective
The aim of this funding is to reduce the rate and disproportionate burden of Hepatitis B infection within the target groups. The Center for Minority Health Services is specifically looking for organizations with the capacity and demonstrated success in providing culturally competent services to the identified population. Programs should be unique, culturally innovative and provide education, outreach, and awareness regarding Hepatitis B and the importance of screenings and vaccinations in a culturally competent manner that will increase the number of individuals within the target population who are linked to screening and vaccinations services. The main focus of any funded program shall not be screenings, vaccination, or treatment efforts, but the outreach to, and the education of the target population regarding Hepatitis B and referrals and linkages to opportunities for screening, vaccination, and treatment services. These program characteristics should be carefully detailed within the application.
