Health Research, Inc. (HRI), in collaboration with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), announces the availability of funding to support up to six (6) regional contractors. These contractors will help community-based organizations (CBOs), grassroots organizations, and other underrepresented partners better understand and navigate NYSDOH and HRI funding opportunities.
Up to $300,000 in total funding is available, with awards of up to $50,000 per contractor for a four (4)-month contract (August 2026 – November 2026).
Contractors will lead outreach, provide training, and offer one-on-one support to help organizations prepare for and apply to public health funding opportunities. This work is intended to go beyond simply sharing information. The goal is to help more organizations feel confident, prepared, and able to successfully apply for and manage funding and improve community access to preventive public health funding opportunities.
