SUMMARY: This announcement is made by the United States Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS or Department), Office of Minority
Health (OMH) located within the Office of Public Health and Science
(OPHS), and working in a ``One-Department'' approach collaboratively
with participating HHS agencies and programs (entities). As part of a
continuing HHS effort to improve the health and well being of racial
and ethnic minorities, the Department announces availability of FY 2007
funding for the Community Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities
Demonstration Grant Program (hereafter referred to as the Community
Partnerships Program). OMH is authorized to conduct this program under
42 U.S.C. 300u-6, section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended. The mission of the OMH is to improve the health of racial and
ethnic minority populations through the development of policies and
programs that address disparities and gaps. OMH serves as the focal
point in the HHS for leadership, policy development and coordination,
service demonstrations, information exchange, coalition and partnership
building, and related efforts to address the health needs of racial and
ethnic minorities. OMH activities are implemented in an effort to
address Healthy People 2010, a comprehensive set of disease prevention
and health promotion objectives for the Nation to achieve over the
first decade of the 21st century (http://www.healthypeople.gov).
