In March 2024, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Long COVID Program requested proposals for eligible organizations to plan, create, and share equitable resources and information about long COVID and related conditions. Activities will increase understanding of the impacts of long COVID and related conditions, raise awareness, reduce stigma, and improve care and support for those most impacted. Grantees will also participate in a grantee network to increase coordination and enhance the scope of care and support for people with long COVID and related conditions.
To address inequities and disparities related to long COVID, Minnesota law states that MDH will award the grants and contracts to organizations that serve communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, long COVID, and related conditions. This includes but is not limited to rural and low-income areas, Black and African Americans, African immigrants, American Indians, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Hispanic/Latino(a) communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and persons living with disabilities. Organizations may also address intersectionality within these groups.
Details about the funding, application instructions, and review process are in the 2024 Long COVID Network & Capacity Building Grants Request for Proposals (PDF).
