2018 SHIP Statewide Meeting
 |
|
Evaluation documents now on Basecamp
OSHII evaluates the statewide meeting in several ways: with an
online survey of participants, in a structured conversation with OSHII staff,
and in discussion with the TA & Training Steering Team of local SHIP staff.
Documents with feedback are now posted on Basecamp. We hope you’ll read them
and help us plan for future years.

Funding opportunity available
The AARP Foundation works to end
senior poverty by helping vulnerable older adults build economic opportunity
and social connectedness. Through its grantmaking, the foundation collaborates
with partner organizations to identify evidence-based programs and real-world
solutions to the challenges facing older low-income adults.
To advance this
mission, the foundation has issued a request for proposals from organizations
with innovative, evidence-based solutions positioned to boost social
connectedness and food security among older low-income adults. Application
deadline is Sept. 28.
Read the request
for proposals (PDF) from the AARP Foundation.
Phase Model included
OSHII has recently updated the SHIP Point of Sale Implementation Guide (PDF), which now includes the Phase Model document. For grantees participating in the Point of Sale Focused Evaluation, the “SHIP Point of Sale – Process Evaluation” project in REDCap has also been updated to reflect the new Phase Model. Please contact Cassandra Stepan or John Kingsbury with any questions.
Report on collaboration strategies
The Prevention Institute has a new publication:
Partnering
with health equity grassroots organizations: Collaborating with public health agencies
(PDF).
Drawing on interviews with grassroots
leaders from across the country, this report explores how the political
landscape, funding, staff skills, leadership, and partnerships influence the
ability of community-based organizations to work effectively with public health
agencies to address health inequities and racial injustices.

New opportunity through America Walks
Protecting pedestrians from traffic injuries and deaths requires a
multi-pronged approach: knowledge of safe systems, community engagement,
political buy-in, the coordinated work of many stakeholders and a pedestrian
safety plan.
America Walks is partnering with the University of North Carolina Highway
Safety Research Center to implement a collaborative learning program for 10
mid-sized cities (50,000-250,000 population).
Each community chosen will receive small group, web-based training and
discussion on how to leverage and build capacity for developing and
implementing a pedestrian safety plan and a $1,500 stipend to offset some of
the cost of participating in the program and support implementation efforts.

Zero Program web page
Communications and evaluation
Remember to use the communications and evaluation sections
of the work plan template.
The sections are listed as “optional” as not all work will
be linked to additional evaluation or communications plans; however, if evaluation
or communication efforts are aligned with the proposed work, completion of
these sections is expected.
