Through this request for proposal (RFP), the 1889 Jefferson Center for Population Health seeks community interventions aimed at prevention and/or control of type II diabetes. This grant will support the work of a national expert team as they train, consult with, and mentor community partners in Cambria and Somerset Counties (Pennsylvania, USA) to implement and study innovative intervention(s) over a three year period. Through this RFP, the Center aims to fulfill its mission of improving health and wellness in Cambria and Somerset Counties by bringing together local community partners in collaboration with successful applicants who are national experts.

The Center will execute this application process in two steps. Step One: Letter of Intent forms will be accepted and reviewed at the Center; selected invited applicants present their proposals to the RFP Review Committee in person or via web conference. During that time, applicants will answer questions, provided by the review committee, regarding the intervention and the implementation process in Cambria and Somerset Counties. The RFP Review Committee will provide the questions at least one week prior to the scheduled interview. The Center will identify potential local community partner(s) aligned with the proposed intervention and connect them with the applicants. Step Two: After applicant interviews, the RFP Review Committee will invite selected finalist(s) to submit full proposals, prepared in collaboration with the local community partner(s) who is/are identified by the Center and agreed upon by the applicant. The final awardee will include a team comprised of the national expert and local community partner(s).

A total award of up to $1.8 million over three years will be granted. The award supports training, consulting, and mentoring by the national expert and implementing the intervention by the community partner(s). In addition, the national expert awardee will receive a gift of $200,000 to advance population health strategies in their local region. In year-one, $125,000 of the gift will be allocated. In year-three, the remaining $75,000 of the gift will be allocated.

The specific goals of this RFP are to improve community-level capacity for diabetes prevention and control. Successful applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have previously improved capacity for diabetes prevention and control by designing and implementing an intervention, with measurable evidence of a positive impact on social determinants of health in a community.

The award is funded by the 1889 Foundation and administered through The 1889 Jefferson Center for Population Health (Center). The Center will be the Coordinating Center for the proposed intervention(s), overseeing progress and evaluating outcomes while acting as the liaison between the national expert, the local community partner(s), and the Center. Interventions designed to impact any of the following social determinants are desired and others will also be considered:

Education (public or private school, pre-K through 12) and health literacy
Social support (faith-based, community-based, or other)
Food security
Employment and worksite wellness
Transportation, housing, and the built environment
