Cardiovascular Health Funding Opportunity

OPEN February 1, 2025 | Application Due Date: February 28, 2025

The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program (HDSPP) is participating in a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the funding opportunity DP23-0004, The National Cardiovascular Health Program. The SD DOH HDSPP is funding organizations to promote evidence-based strategies for prevention and management of CVD in high-risk populations in South Dakota. Programs may be eligible for funding that meet one or more of the following strategies:

  • Strategy 1A: Advance the adoption and use of electronic health records (EHR) or Health Information technology (HIT) to identify, track, and monitor measures for clinical and social service and support needs to address health care disparities and health outcomes for patients at highest risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with a focus on hypertension and high cholesterol.
  • Strategy 1B: Promote the use of standardized processes or tools to identify the social services and support needs of patient populations at the highest risk of CVD, with a focus on hypertension and high cholesterol, and monitor and assess the referral and utilization of those services, such as food assistance, transportation, housing, childcare, etc.
  • Strategy 3C: Promote the use of self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) with clinical support within populations at the highest risk of hypertension.

The facilities awarded funding through this opportunity will receive funds and technical assistance to create and expand sustainable programs to help link resources that support self-management and lifestyle changes to address those at increased risk for CVD with a focus on hypertension management. Applicants must demonstrate:

  • A systems-level change approach that impacts the permanent culture around heart disease prevention at the organizational level.
  • Potential for sustained efforts and lasting impact that leads to improved heart disease prevention and management.
  • Improvement to CVD outcomes. Applications addressing health disparities will be prioritized.

Apply via electronic submission to Lacy.Eaton@state.sd.us no later than 5:00 p.m. CT on February 28, 2025. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered for funding.
