<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Program works to build the capacity of Oregonians to use HIA as a tool for improving the health of their
communities. HIA is a five-step process that examines the health risks and benefits of public decisions and delivers information to decision makers with the aim of improving public health through the process. For more information about HIA, including examples
of completed projects, see the attached HIA fact sheet or visit our website: </span>

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The OHA is looking to fund and support two Oregon public health departments to develop and implement a plan for conducting an HIA at the local level. We are most interested
in supporting proposals that identify a project or policy target for their HIA that is under active consideration by decision makers, so that the results of the completed HIA can be used in the decision making process.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext">For this round of funding, we will give preference to proposals to conduct HIA on projects or policies related to the built environment, including land use, housing, and
transportation decisions. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

to create and implement a plan for conducting an HIA by August 3, 2015. Any Oregon local health department or tribal public health authority is eligible to apply for funding. No prior HIA experience is necessary. Successful applications will specify how funding
will increase local health department HIA capacity. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The funds available are intended to support local public health staff in collaborating with traditional built environment decision-makers and stakeholders to improve community health. We will
