Guidelines for Partners
Partners may include community- and faith-based organizations, professional societies, government agencies, national non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, foundations, corporations, businesses of all sizes, industry groups, and colleges and universities.

As members of the NPA, partners agree to:

  • Support the goals of the NPA.
  • Commit to help develop, plan, and implement efforts to reduce or eliminate health disparities.

To become a partner, an organization must agree to conduct at least one substantial activity during the course of the year that is intended to help achieve the campaign's goals of eliminating health disparities.

In addition, each partner shall:

  1. Appoint one representative as the main NPA contact.
  2. Describe the activity which it intends to organize in support of the NPA in sufficient detail so that others will understand the strategy, intended outcomes, and success measures that the partner will employ.
  3. Provide information about its activities and outcomes that can be shared with the broad network of partners.

Here are some ways partners can contribute to the National Partnership for Action:

  • Develop a campaign or program to educate your membership, employees, or the public about racial and ethnic health disparities and promoting healthy living;
  • Organize and sponsor a health disparities campaign, outreach, or health promotion and disease prevention event;
  • Participate in a local, state, regional, or Tribal NPA action meeting to share strategies and solutions;
  • Share promising practices and lessons learned;
  • Improve coordination and utilization of research or outcome evaluations in the work you conduct related to health disparities;
  • Take steps to improve coordination and utilization of research and outcome evaluations in your health disparities activities;
  • Take action to promote cultural competency in health care delivery; and
  • Include core messages from the NPA into your health materials, your meetings or conferences, or your communications with employees and members.

The National Partnership for Action is not an OMH funding opportunity. While OMH may from time to time engage in joint activities or provide financial assistance to organizations that are partners, partners should not expect access to OMH funding.
