2022 Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative Request for Proposals

Images of faces

The Minnesota Department of Health Center for Health Equity released a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative (EHDI), a grant program established to provide direct investments in organizations focused on improving the health and well-being of American Indians and people of color.

The application period has closed.  For reference, the 2022 RFP provides funding details and application requirements:  2022 EHDI Grants Request for Proposals (PDF)

Funding Decisions

Final funding decisions were made based on community recommendations in April 2023 and applicants were immediately notified. State law prohibits the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) from sharing the names of those selected for funding until we have completed negotiating all grant agreements. We expect to share the names of those selected for funding in July 2023.  When it becomes available, a list of those selected for funding will be posted on this page.

Please see the EHDI Decision Letter from the Assistant Director (PDF). 

The following memo summarizes data about the applications received by MDH and the community review process:  EHDI Grant Review Process Summary: Memo to Applicants and Partners (PDF).
