TB Elimination Alliance Announces 2023 Mini-Grant Program Awardees

The Tuberculosis Elimination Alliance (TEA), led by the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF), Hepatitis B Foundation (HBF), and Stop TB USA, with the support of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Division of TB Elimination, announced that it awarded a total of $250,000 to 12 community health organizations serving Asian, Asian American (A/AA), Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (NH/PI), Hispanic/Latino and African American communities that are disproportionately impacted by tuberculosis (TB).

 

TEA offered a third cycle of 12 mini-grant awards totaling $250,000 to community providers that increase awareness and build capacity on TB testing and treatment. The newly awarded mini-grant recipients in this cycle are as follows:

  • Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese (Springdale, AR)
  • Asian Pacific Health Foundation (San Diego, CA)
  • EthnoMed (Seattle, WA)
  • Jericho Road Community Health Center (Buffalo, NY)
  • Midwest Asian Health Association (Chicago, IL)
  • Mission Neighborhood Health Center (San Francisco, CA)
  • Regional Pacific Islander Taskforce (San Francisco, CA)
  • Revive Community Health (Tempe, AZ)
  • Rural Women's Health Project (Gainesville, FL)
  • San Diego County Medical Society Foundation, dba Champions for Health (San Diego, CA)
  • Todu Guam Foundation, Ltd. (Tamuning, Guam)
  • We Are TB / Somos TB (National)

Since its inception in 2019, TEA has distributed over $800,000 in mini-grant funding to 36 organizations. TEA, our members, partners, and mini-grantees look forward to building on the progress that we have made so far towards TB elimination.

Analyzing Early Events in TB and TB/HIV Infection for Interventional Targets (R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed) expires 10/12/2023

Due Dates: October 11, 2023

Open Date: Earliest Submission Date: September 11, 2023

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support mechanistic studies of the early stage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, with and without HIV, to identify interventional targets for vaccine and host-directed therapies. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support mechanistic studies of early Mtb infection (defined as the time between Mtb exposure and early-stage granuloma formation) in the airway and lung with the ultimate goal of understanding these events in the setting of HIV co-infection.
