93.743

Objectives: The purpose of the proposed FY2012 REACH program is to support the implementation of projects to reduce racial and ethnic health disparities. Recipients funded through this FOA will develop and implement replicable and scalable strategies to assure that population-wide policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes to reduce obesity and hypertension also decrease health disparities in these morbid outcomes in their jurisdiction. The program will build upon the body of knowledge from previous REACH programs. The program is designed to fund organizations that have a partnership with a local community-based organization, a local public health department (or tribal organization), and a university/academic institution. Plans for FY2012 advance and expand REACH’s past program successes and ensure that the practice-based evidence expands.
