| Description: | The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) invites public and private non-profit agencies to submit applications for funds to support and promote refugees’ integration in the use of medical and mental health services as a means to enhance the health and well-being of refugees as they progress to employment, English language ability and self-sufficiency. ORR expects to award $300,000 to one successful applicant that adequately describes how the technical assistance should be provided. This application should address general health and well-being for refugees, health promotion, disease prevention, and population-specific health issues. The goal of the project should be to improve the quality of health services to refugees and to aid refugees’ long-term integration in the U.S. The application should seek to strengthen refugees’ and refugee serving agencies’ access to health information that is linguistically and culturally appropriate in coordination with existing health information providers. The application should demonstrate how the project will prepare refugee resettlement communities to manage the health burden of incoming refugee populations and educate communities on the best ways of accessing local health services. Applicants responding to this announcement are encouraged to design projects that incorporate collaboration with federal, state and local government health and mental health agencies, private health and mental health agencies, refugee resettlement agencies, ethnic community based organizations of the ethnicities of refugee populations, in order to provide maximum impact of the technical assistance. The successful applicant will promote the use of the “Points of Wellness: Partnering for Refugee Health and Well-being,” a web-based resource developed by SAMHSA under funding from ORR, (available at www.refugeewellbeing.samhsa.gov ). The following activities are desired: web-based clearing house, establishing an interactive listserv to exchange and discuss refugee health issues, conduct site visits, trainings and workshops, web-based trainings regularly scheduled, disseminate written materials and approach for identifying and addressing emerging refugee health needs. Applicants should describe experience that demonstrates capabilities in the program area. The successful applicant will discuss the needs of refugees for support in learning and accessing health and behavioral health services, a first draft of a work plan, and the existing resources that will contribute to the effectiveness of the proposed project. The award will be contingent upon the outcome of the competition and the availability of funds. |
