<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%">This request for proposals (RFP) is intended to increase the capacity of Oregon Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs), particularly those that have identified domestic wells and water security
as local priorities through county hazard assessments<b>*</b>. The Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) Domestic Well Safety Program (DWSP) intends to provide grants to support outreach efforts identified by LPHAs in their proposals to this RFP. In working with
LPHAs, the DWSP will help plan and deliver outreach and interventions to communities of concern, as identified by LPHAs.

upon DWSP receiving federal funding. DWSP suggests that projects use Year 2 to conduct evaluation and follow-up on Year 1 activities.
