Funding History
From September 2013 through August 2015, the Council received a grant from the federal Office of Minority Health to raise awareness and promote adoption of the CLAS Standards. During the two year grant period, Council staff provided information, resources, technical assistance, and training on the CLAS Standards to several state agencies and other public and private health-related organizations. This project was supported in part from grant no. 5 STTMP131081-02-00 from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health.
