From ACEs Aware, May 21, 2020
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for your ongoing interest in our ACEs Aware grants process. We have completed the grant application review and scoring process and have selected a group of finalists that will be considered in the final stage of the grant award process. Being a finalist is not a guarantee of funding. The final funding determination, in terms of how many organizations will receive funding and how much, will be determined after the state budget is finalized.
Today, we notified the organizations who are finalists, as well as those organizations that applied but have not been selected to receive a grant for 2020.
Although we originally planned to announce the ACEs Aware grant awards in May, the unusual circumstances related to the COVID-19 emergency required us to delay the announcement until June. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, Californians are experiencing increased levels of stress. That stress, combined with disruptions to accessing care and health maintenance activities, will acutely affect the health and well-being of Californians in the weeks, months, and years ahead. The ACEs Aware initiative is a vital part of the Medi-Cal program’s response to the COVID-19 emergency, helping providers identify, prevent, and treat these secondary health effects.
We look forward to sharing additional updates on the grant awards as soon as possible. Thank you for your interest and commitment to this important initiative.
Sincerely,
The ACEs Aware Team
