sustainability beyond the end of the support provided by OMH. Groups disproportionately affected by CKD may face barriers to health care and social services that increase their risk of poor health outcomes. We intend for funded projects to demonstrate that innovative community-based strategies can address social determinants of health (SDOH) and reduce health disparities in chronic kidney disease and related risk factors. OMH also expects projects to implement novel approaches that demonstrate progress toward CKD related Healthy People 2030 objectives.

We may approve shorter budget periods or periods of performance to accommodate administrative factors or funding constraints. For multi-year projects, recipients must submit a non-competing continuation (NCC) application for each budget period after the first. Continuation funding is contingent upon the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the project, appropriate stewardship of federal funds, and the best interests of the government. Funding for all approved budget periods after the first is generally the same as the initial award amount subject to any offset with funds unused in the previous budget period.
