Moreover, while asthma occurs in all social classes, racial, and ethnic groups, the greatest burden among children from poor, urban and minority communities. Together, we will learn how coalitions can work effectively in reducing the impact of asthma on children and teenagers. Our experience in research and practice suggests that no one system or strategy alone is effective. We are looking forward to working with the communities to better understand which innovations emerge as most effective in achieving significant changes in asthma-related outcomes. Both public and private organizations are eligible to apply on behalf of the coalition under this program, and public-private partnerships are encouraged.
Private foundations are ineligible for funding through the program.
The initiative seeks a single application per community. Grants will be awarded in two phases under this program.
