Use of Funds

Allowed Uses

Funds may be used to implement two components – Component 1 and Component 2 – across MS's 18-county Delta Region:

-- Mississippi Department of Health / Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative should allocate between 5% - 10% of their total funding award to evaluation and performance monitoring.
