Excerpts from the RFA:
Purpose
The purpose of this RFA is to provide guidance for current contractors to submit continuation applications to the Iowa Health and Human Services (referred to as Agency) to renew service provisions as described by and within the project period established by the RFP 58823008. Services covered by this application include working in collaboration with the Behavioral Health Division to implement the Iowa Capacity Coaching Program through coaching training, coaching support sessions and individual coaching sessions with funded capacity coaches.
The Agency is actively working to strengthen our capacity to address health inequities in Iowa. Health equity is defined as the attainment of the highest possible level of health for all people by achieving the environmental, social, economic and other conditions in which all people have the opportunity to attain their highest possible level of health. This grant promotes health equity through the Strategic Prevention Framework model and its guiding principle step Cultural Competency which adheres to and promotes 15 Cultural and Linguistic Appropriate Service (CLAS) Standards. Use of CLAS is a way to improve the quality of services provided to all individuals, which will ultimately help reduce health disparities and achieve health equity.
