Center for Rural Health Part of New Grassroots Rural Policy Project

 

The Center for Rural Health at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences is one of the first participants in the national Rural People, Rural Policy program.

           

The new five-year national initiative, funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, MI, builds and strengthens networks of local organizations to develop policy that will help rural communities and small towns.

           

This initiative intends to grow from regional networks into a national network of rural organizations and national service groups working on a variety of economic and social issues that impact rural America, according to a statement by the Kellogg Foundation announcing the awardees.

           

The foundation funded only 24 of the 190 proposals they received for the first year. The Center for Rural Health is the only health-related organization selected to participate. The remaining 23 are primarily community development, youth or policy organizations.
