DHHS Division/Office issuing this notice:   Office of Rural Health
 
Date of this notice:   December 2, 2019

Deadline to receive applications:   January 22, 2020
 
Working title of the funding program:   NC Farmworker Health Program 

Purpose: Description of function of the program and reason why it was created: 
The North Carolina Farmworker Health Program (NCFHP) is anticipating the receipt of federal funds to increase access to primary and preventive health care services for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families in North Carolina. NCFHP grant awards are meant to supplement existing resources in communities and reduce barriers to care so that farmworkers and their family members have access to comprehensive and continuous health care services. NCFHP supports the development of sustainable services for farmworkers by encouraging local partnerships and collaborations to facilitate the inclusion of farmworkers in services that are available for the general community. 

Funding Focus: 
Funds may be used for enabling, medical, dental and behavioral health services for farmworkers and their families when these services are not otherwise available or if the existing services are not sufficient to respond to the demand. Because of the numerous barriers to care that farmworkers experience, NCFHP strongly supports the provision of quality enabling services including outreach, health education, case management, eligibility assistance and referrals to health care. 

Funding Preferences:
Preference will be given to applicants based on the following criteria listed below. 
•    Demonstrates a need for increased health care services for migrant and seasonal farmworkers in their community;
•    Demonstrates capacity to effectively address barriers to care for farmworkers and provide quality services;
•    Demonstrates capacity to assist farmworkers in accessing health care services;
•    Proposes an efficient strategy that utilizes local resources and collaborates with other partners to respond to health care gaps that farmworkers face in their community; and,
•    Can meet NCFHP requirements and expectations outlined in this document. 

Proposed Project Period/Contract Term: 
April 1, 2020 - March 31, 2021 (exceptions can be made to have a July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021 project period)

Funding Availability:
