Next Steps
in the Process
As the convening closed, the Next Steps in our process to
complete the Health Disparities Framework and Diabetes Plan
of Action were identified.
- A final report for the Convening will be disseminated
to all convening participants and those interested in
this effort who could not attend by mid July. This,
along with the PowerPoint presented at the convening
will also be posted on the NEPO website.
- The Expert Panel will finalize the draft framework
and action plan over the summer, 2004.
- The minigrant guidelines and RFP will also be completed
over the summer and released at the October 2004 EPO
Summit.
- The final draft of the Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities
Framework and Diabetes Action Plan will be presented
at the October 2004 EPO Summit for final review and
adoption.
- The final plan will also be shared with the CMA Foundation
board of directors and our funding partner, Pfizer,
Inc. in late October.
- We will announce "The Plan" through a press
event in November 2004, Diabetes Awareness Month.
- The adopted plan will be posted on the NEPO website
with links made to partner organizations beginning in
November.
- The Health Disparities minigrant selection panel will
be selected in September and October.
- Health Disparities minigrants application will be
received and evaluated in November and December 2004.

- The Expert Panel will continue forward and oversee
the implementation of the Diabetes Plan of Action. Prevention,
Disease Management and Policy Subcommittees will be
formed, chaired by a member of the Expert Panel. The
Expert Panel will convene once by phone in November
