Health Promotion Policy Grants


Health Promotion Policy Grant  Program

AMA Alliance Health Promotion Policy Grants provide seed money to county and state Alliances so that they can implement programs or activities inspired by AMA Alliance health promotion policy.
In supporting project through the HPPG program, the AMA Alliance looks for projects that help county and state Alliances stand out in their communities and bring creative ideas, up-to-date information and new ideas to participants. Programs do not have to be elaborate, but they should be well planned. The projects should provide ongoing opportunities for promoting the AMA Alliance and its mission to build healthier communities.


Guidelines

Applications must be received at least two weeks before your event.

Alliances are eligible for one HPPG award per calendar year.

HPPG Program Objectives

  • Fund projects that increase AMA Alliance visibility in a positive and proactive way
  • Fund projects that help put AMA Alliance policy into action by providing information or a service of value to your community
  • Fund projects that will provide opportunities for ongoing involvement in a discussion of topics that are important to the family of medicine

Apply Before Your Event

HPPG applications must be received at least two weeks before the event is scheduled to take place. In order to facilitate nationwide participation, each Alliance is eligible for one HPPG award per calendar year. Please remember that HPPG funding is not guaranteed.

Required Information

  • Completed HPPG application, including description of program, description of how the program will promote AMA Alliance and county and state Alliance visibility, relevant AMA Alliance policy, and complete budget information.
  • Alliance members will be notified of applications that are incomplete. All incomplete applications must be completed within two weeks of notification of missing information or they will not be considered.
  • Grant applications must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the planned activity. Applications received for events occurring within two weeks of or after the event will not be considered.

How Will Projects Be Evaluated

The AMA Alliance will evaluate projects based on the information provided in the application and how well the project meets the objectives of the HPPG program.

Involve Your RPS/MSS Members and Medical Society

Alliances are strongly encouraged to include the spouses of resident physicians and medical students and medical society members in their projects. Both groups can be a great source of ideas and support for Alliance projects.

Note About Grant Awards

Although applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, it can still take several weeks for an application to be approved, a check processed, and mailed to the project coordinator. Please plan ahead when requesting program funding.

Also keep in mind that Alliances are limited to one grant award per calendar year and funding is never guaranteed. Coordinate with others in your Alliance to make sure things go smoothly.
