State: Indiana
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 03/01/2023
Grant Duration: 2 years
Details:
Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation seeks to achieve health equity by eliminating the disease and economic burden associated with tobacco addiction and exposure to commercial tobacco products.
TPC recognizes that it is imperative that partners and stakeholders from various perspectives and communities reflect and reaffirm our collective commitment to commercial tobacco control practices that reach all Hoosiers, especially marginalized communities within the state of Indiana. To achieve health equity, it is crucial that public health addresses the disparities that have been created by unjust treatment and systemic racism and bias through sustainable and authentic partnerships.
The purpose of the Capacity Building Grant application is to bring in new local partnerships for commercial tobacco prevention and cessation that are not currently funded. The two-year capacity building grant will allow for new partnerships to fully develop a coalition and learn evidence-based commercial tobacco control practices in communities not funded in the 2023-2025 grant period.
Focus Areas
Indiana’s state commercial tobacco control program has four priority areas:
- Decrease youth and young adult tobacco use rates
- Increase proportion of Hoosiers not exposed to secondhand smoke
- Decrease adult smoking rates
- Maintain a state and local infrastructure necessary to lower tobacco use rates
Grant Period
This contract period covers State Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025. The contract period starts on July 1, 2023 and ends on June 30, 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
Any public or private entity, including those who largely serve marginalized populations, or any state or local government entity, may apply as the Lead Agency for the local community-based capacity building partnerships for the TPC program. Socially disadvantaged individuals, or marginalized populations, as defined in Small Business Administration 13 CFR § 124.103, are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society because of their identities as members of groups and without regard to their individual qualities. The social disadvantage must stem from circumstances beyond their control as defined by Small Business Administration 13 CFR § 124.103. This includes Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Asian Americans, and others.
