This opportunity is currently closed. Check back in November for the next round of applications.
Each year, AMCHP awards up to four organizations to replicate a practice from the MCH Innovations Database. Based on their readiness to begin replication, awardees will receive peer coaching and guidance from a representative of the practice as well as tailored assistance from AMCHP to help adapt the practice to their unique context and situation.
This opportunity is not designed to fully fund the replication of a practice but rather to support initial capacity building and implementation efforts. Recognizing that it takes approximately 3-5 years for a practice to be fully up and running, the Replication Projects are designed to help awardees lay a strong foundation for future implementation by providing the time, structure, and support to think through, plan for, and potentially pilot and learn from implementing a new practice in their own setting.
Explore the sections below to learn more about the Replication Projects and how to apply.
Who Are We Looking For?
This opportunity is open to all organizations/agencies/institutions interested in replicating an Innovation Hub practice. We greatly value community partnerships, and our ideal applicant would have strong relationships with the communities they serve. Groups that would be a good fit for this opportunity include, but are not limited to, community-based/-rooted organizations, tribal governments, or Title V programs with strong relationships with these entities. For the purposes of this opportunity, AMCHP defines community-based organizations (CBOs) as a public or private non-profit organization, or other organizations such as an LLC (limited liability company) that is representative of a community or a significant segment of a community and works to meet community needs.
In alignment with AMCHP’s Joint Organizational Commitment to Anti-Racism and Racial Equity, we are prioritizing organizations led by or directly supporting Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities; others experiencing systemic oppression including but not limited to the disability community, the LGBTQI+ community, etc.; or those representing groups that have been historically oppressed.
