Section 25-4-2203, C.R.S. |
| Description of Subjects/Issues |
This grant program is designed to fund “statewide initiatives that address prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer and cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in underrepresented populations....” Section 25-4-2203(1), C.R.S. The General Assembly supplemented this grant program in 2021 with community grant funding to “reduce health disparities in underrepresented communities
through policy and systems changes regarding the social determinants of health....” Section
25-4-2203(2)(b)(II), C.R.S. While the Board approved revised rule language in December 2021
to align the rules with the revised statute, we noted that two provisions in the rule lacked
clarity such that the rule should be revised. Per state statute, technical training and
assistance as well as evaluation services regarding the impact of the grant program on the
community are required to be provided to grantees. The proposed language changes are
technical, in order to align with the language in the statute and to help prevent
misinterpretation for operations. |
