Opportunity Summary:
The Refugee Health Promotion (RHP) grant opportunity was a fiscal year 2014 discretionary funding announcement from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its core aim was to improve health and mental health outcomes for newly arriving refugees and other vulnerable refugee populations by weaving health promotion into the standard resettlement pathway from arrival through early stabilization and progress toward self-sufficiency. The program emphasized practical, front-end support that helps refugees understand, access, and effectively use health and mental health services in their new communities, rather than replacing medical coverage programs already available.
The RHP program was structured around streamlining and coordinating health-related activities within refugee resettlement systems and strengthening community-based outreach, education, and orientation. In practice, the intent was to ensure refugees receive timely, culturally and linguistically appropriate information and navigation support so they can connect to primary care, preventive services, and mental health resources. A key feature was coordination across local partners, encouraging collaboration with community-based organizations and other service providers to expand reach, reduce duplication, and address barriers such as language, unfamiliarity with the U.S. health system, stigma around mental health, and logistical challenges like transportation and appointment scheduling.
Funding under this announcement was designed to enhance access to health care and to complement, not duplicate, existing assistance programs such as Medicaid and Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA). The notice explicitly referenced Refugee Medical Screenings (RMS) as part of the broader ecosystem the project should align with, reinforcing that RHP activities should strengthen linkages to screenings and follow-up care, improve understanding of available benefits, and promote continuity of care after initial entry. Overall, the program focus was on improving utilization of appropriate services and supporting healthier adjustment by integrating health promotion into the broader resettlement process.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on April 10, 2014, with an application deadline of May 27, 2014 (electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). ORR anticipated making about 40 awards. The estimated total funding available was $4,730,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $75,000 to a ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed under Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA program associated with the announcement was 93.576, Refugee and Entrant Assistance Discretionary Grants.
Eligibility was intentionally limited to state-level refugee program entities. Specifically, eligible applicants were (a) the state government agency responsible for the refugee program under 45 CFR 400.5 (or its designee), or the state government agency responsible for the refugee health program as evidenced by ORR review of the State Plan; and (b) agencies with statewide responsibility for an alternative to the state-administered program operating under a Wilson/Fish grant authorized by section 412(e)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (or their designees). Only one application could be submitted per state, either directly by the eligible entity or by a single designated applicant acting on its behalf. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly ineligible.
For reference and support, the announcement provided an additional information link through ACFs grants site and directed applicants needing technical help accessing the full announcement to the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov).
