California Breathing, a program of the California Department of Public Health's Environmental Health Investigations Branch, aims to reduce the burden of asthma in California and improve environmental conditions that affect people with asthma. Our purpose is to advance strategies outlined in the just released Strategic Plan for Asthma in California 2008-2012 -- a roadmap developed collaboratively by government agencies, asthma experts, community groups, and others to improve asthma prevention and treatment and reduce disparities in asthma outcomes. We are pleased to announce the release of the 2008-2009 Strategic Plan Implementation Grants Request for Proposals. Click on the links to download the Request for Proposals, the application and workplan and the letter of intent form. The purpose of these grants is to stimulate and augment projects that can reduce asthma disparities, and advance the goals and objectives outlined in the new Strategic Plan for Asthma in California. Awards for this cycle will focus on outdoor environments, housing and community engagement in local policy development. Applications are due on June 9, 2008.
