APHA Center for Public Health Policy: Building Bridges Learning Community – Sep 28

Posted by Center for Public Health Policy on September 15, 2026

The Building Bridges Project (Building Bridges: Cultivating Meaningful Cross-sectoral and Community-Based Partnerships to Improve Health) is working to strengthen partnerships between governmental public health, nonprofit, cross-sector, and community-based organizations to promote health and well-being.

This December 2026, Building Bridges will welcome its second cohort. The Learning Community will support up to 8 teams to strengthen relationships between state, local, tribal, and territorial (STLT) health departments and community organizations. This learning community centers around strengthening the partnership between the health department and community-based partner and not necessarily programs/projects.

Each team will be selected through an application process and will include individuals representing both STLT public health departments and community-based organizations. Over an 8-month period, each team will receive a $10,000 grant, along with peer, expert, and technical support to strengthen partnerships and shared work.

Learn more and apply by September 28, 2026.
