Details:
The purpose of DELTA AHEAD is to decrease risk factors and increase protective factors for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). State Domestic Violence Coalitions (SDVCs) are required to address SDoH at the community and societal-levels of the Social Ecological Model (SEM) using evidence-informed strategies and adaptations to those strategies (including adaptations for prevention during a pandemic). SDVCs will 1) implement IPV primary prevention strategies to promote health equity at the state and community-levels, 2) partner with rural communities and/or indigenous communities, and 3) develop or enhance a State Action Plan (SAP) and a Community Action Plan (CAP) that demonstrates how each Program and Policy Effort (PPE) work comprehensively to address SDoH.
Two categories of recipients will be funded for five years:
- Category A: SDVCs who demonstrated previous experience and capacity to implement and evaluate PPEs to prevent IPV;
- Category B: SDVCs will work on building capacity to implement and evaluate PPEs. Category A recipients will enhance their State Leadership Team (SLT) and SAP to implement one policy effort at the state level and fund one or two partners to develop a CAP to implement and evaluate PPEs at the community-level. Category B recipients will build partnerships at the state level and will then implement one policy effort at the state level and fund and work with one partner to develop a CAP.
