  1.  Please complete the annual course OHA - PHD - Appropriate Use of Public Funds<https://ilearn.oregon.gov/ContentDetails.aspx?id=67889227F5964DBAAF4684D3F37FF1B0>. This 45 minute online learning module reviews the somewhat complex rules and expectations around lobbying, advocacy, education and electioneering. Completing this training and refreshing your understanding of these concepts is a required activity for all programs that receive state and federal funds through HPCDP. The training should be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of February. If you have any questions about the content of the training, please reach out to your Community Programs Liaison.
Here are the instructions to access the training:
Go to iLearn website here: https://ilearn.oregon.gov/default.aspx#<https://ilearn.oregon.gov/default.aspx>

1.      Click on Create Account at top right of screen (under the web browser icons).  See instructions for setting up a non-state employee ILearn account on page 12 here: https://www.oregon.gov/das/HR/Documents/ManagingAccounts-Admin.pdf

2.      If you have a previous iLearn account, log in.

3.      Once you are logged into iLearn, type into the search box:  OHA - PHD - Appropriate Use of Public Funds
And click on “online” on the left-hand side under ‘Content Type.’ After clicking this box, the training should be the first on the list.
Troubleshooting:

·         If you are logged into iLearn but cannot find the training, you may have registered with iLearn for another state agency’s training and may only have access to that agency’s domain. You will need to contact iLearn support to request that the domain OHA-Public Health be added to your profile.

·         Please note that the Firefox browser works best for the ILearn platform.

3.      Webinar: Restoring Health Through Sustainable Food Systems. December 9, 2020, 12PM. The National Native Network at the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan, in conjunction with the Indian Health Service Health Promotion and Disease Prevention present a webinar series:  Cancer Risk Reduction in Indian Country.
Description:
If you live in a low-income community, in a rural location, or where grocery stores and supermarkets are hard to come by, then you live in a food desert.  Food deserts are in areas where obesity is just one of the many serious health issues.  Many American Indians and Alaska Natives have limited or no access to healthy or affordable food, so their chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancers are much higher and increasing.  But access to healthy and affordable foods is possible, no matter where you live.  In this webinar, the speakers will share practical strategies to increase sustainable access to healthy foods, and some of the health benefits of gardening and harvesting plant foods.

  1.  Funding opportunity to evaluate efforts to advance health equity.  The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) have released a Request for Proposals to fund up to 50 communities at $50,000 each to evaluate their work to advance health equity by addressing social determinants of health (SDoH).The purpose of this funding opportunity is to identify and learn from multi-sector coalitions with a demonstrated success implementing strategies focusing on the built environment, community-clinical linkages, food insecurity, social connectedness, and tobacco-free policies. In order to build the evidence-base for collaborative approaches to SDoH, the project will evaluate and assess through technical support the impact of the coalitions’ recent SDoH experience and highlight successful strategies and interventions. Local, state, tribal, and territorial health departments are encouraged to apply. The submission deadline is December 8, 2020 at 5:00pm EST.
