The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Connecting Organizations and People to Empower Diabetes Prevention and Treatment (Connections)." This initiative aims to evaluate the effectiveness of existing Community-Clinical Linkage and Social Connectedness programs in reducing disparities related to diabetes risk factors, incidence, and complications, while also exploring the mechanisms that influence diabetes outcomes. The program is critical for understanding how these interventions can mitigate health disparities and improve health outcomes in communities. The estimated total funding for this program is $3,150,000, with awards ranging from $0 to $350,000, and applications are due by January 6, 2025. For further inquiries, interested applicants can contact Dr. Celeste Sanders at CSanders4@cdc.gov.
