Oklahoma and Colorado 2/28/2022 Deadline Reminder: Telligen Community Initiative's 2022 Funding Priorities.For the past several years, Telligen Community Initiative (TCI) has focused its grantmaking on three priority areas - social determinants of health/health equity, healthcare workforce development and health innovation. In 2022, they will be reducing our funding priorities to two areas:

  • Social determinants of health/Health equity
  • Healthcare workforce development

TCI's decision to end our health innovation funding priority is not meant to convey a lesser importance on uniqueness and innovation. However, it does call into greater focus the need to intentionally create additional resources for the greatest emerging needs in the two priority areas, especially in the healthcare workforce development area as we face an ever-growing shortage of qualified healthcare workers.The one-step application process through the 2022 RFP will remain the same. The online portal on the webpage supports this streamlined process and TCI staff are available to discuss your project further as well as answer any questions. Please contact them by calling 515-554-2908 or emailing mmcgarvey@telligenci.org.
