Request a Grant Writer

Cooperative agreements to USA and Puerto Rico agencies, nonprofit and for-profits organizations, Tribal entities, and IHEs for projects to improve treatment for individuals with blood disorders. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take up to a month to complete. The goal of the program is to improve access to evidence-informed care for individuals living with thalassemia and their families.

This program is comprised of two projects – Project 1 is the Thalassemia Regional Program and Project 2 is the Thalassemia National Coordinating Program. The purpose of Project 1 is to have three recipients support a regional infrastructure to increase the number of providers treating or co-managing individuals with thalassemia in their communities. The purpose of Project 2 is to coordinate telementoring and educational initiatives across the regions and to improve knowledge of thalassemia and evidence-informed treatment recommendations among patients and families.

Applicants may only apply for either Project 1 or Project 2.

Project 1: Thalassemia Regional Program

Each recipient is responsible for identifying and establishing a network of hematologists and other providers in a minimum of three states in the region. The goal is to extend the reach of the limited number of experts through telementoring, telemedicine, and other strategies in collaboration with the Thalassemia National Coordinating Program (see below). In collaboration with the Thalassemia National Coordinating Program, recipients will provide ongoing education on evidence-informed diagnostic/treatment guidelines and best practices for disease management1 to hematologists and health care providers who see individuals with thalassemia. Recipients will also collaborate with the Thalassemia National Coordinating Program to inform patients and families on evidence-informed treatment recommendations.

Project 2: Thalassemia National Coordinating Program

One recipient will be funded for Project 2 to support activities that improve the quality of care available to individuals living with thalassemia. This includes helping regions coordinate regional telementoring activities, and recruit hematologists and other health care providers to manage or co-manage individuals with thalassemia to reduce duplication. The Thalassemia National Coordinating Program will provide education and information to individuals and families on evidence-informed treatment. Project 2 will enhance coordination across the regions and increase the program’s ability to respond to emerging needs in the field and among recipients.
