The National Dissemination Support Initiative of the Community Transformation Grant (CTG) Program helped support, disseminate, and amplify the evidence-based strategies of the CTG Program in communities nationwide, including rural and frontier areas and in those areas with health disparities. Six (6) national networks of community-based organizations received nearly $4 million under two separate categories of funding — Dissemination and Acceleration.

Dissemination grantees helped support, disseminate, and amplify the evidence-based strategies of the CTG program nationally. Funded organizations engaged and collaborated with governmental, private, and non-governmental sectors and worked to disseminate CTG strategies within their national network of local affiliates, including reaching rural and frontier areas and those experiencing health disparities. Three (3) national networks received Dissemination awards.
Acceleration awards helped spread CTG work across the country and in particular to help reach rural and frontier areas and areas with health disparities. Funded organizations were required to award at least 50% of their funds to local affiliates to support local communities to assess and address CTG health priorities. Three (3) national networks received Acceleration awards.
