Organizations serving African communities in the United States have a few additional days to submit their applications for the Office of Minority Health Resource Center's National African Immigrant Project funds than was previously indicated. The deadline for submitting award applications is April 23, 2012. The money is available for faith-based and community-based organizations to produce a culturally sensitive approach to address and educate the community about HIV/AIDS and STD information. A total of four awards, up to a maximum of $5,000, will be awarded for a project period of June 1, 2012 to April 13, 2013. Proposals must link African-immigrant communities with existing services that provide access to HIV/AIDS and STD-related activities, education, testing and training. Special attention will be placed on proposals that demonstrate how applicant organizations are able to impact community leadership efforts. The three objectives of the award are to enhance or support HIV/AIDS and STD awareness and testing in the community, provide funding for HIV/AIDS and STD-related activities and expand the HIV/AIDS infrastructure and network for all African-serving CBOs through collaborative and transparent partnerships.
