Eligible organizations interested in submitting an application are encouraged to read this funding opportunity thoroughly to understand the type of program sought, application submission requirements, and evaluation process.

Successful applicants are fully responsible for ensuring the achievement of the project activity’s objectives. Please read each section of the RFA carefully.

LGHS intends to make up to six awards to applicants who best meet the objectives of this funding opportunity based on the merit review criteria described in the RFA. While six awards are anticipated as a result of the RFA, LGHS reserves the right to fund any or none of the applications submitted.

Subject to the availability of funds, awards will be made to the responsible Applicant(s) whose
