The Office of Minority Health announces the anticipated availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 under the authority of 42 U.S.C. § 300u-6 (Section 1707 of the Public Health Service Act) for demonstration projects that support and evaluate the use of a universal symbol to inform people about the availability of language assistance services in health settings.
Demonstration projects are time-limited projects for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of an approach or intervention toward reaching a desired outcome. We expect award recipients under this opportunity to consider approaches to sustainability beyond the end of the support provided by OMH.Individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) and people with disabilities face barriers to health care and social services that increase their risk for poor health outcomes.
Language assistance services are all oral, written, and signed language services needed to assist effective communication for individuals with LEP and people with disabilities.
During Fiscal Year 2024, OMH is developing a universal symbol that will indicate the availability of language assistance services. We intend for funded projects to demonstrate the effectiveness of the universal symbol in raising awareness and prompting individuals to request language assistance services in health settings. OMH also expects funded projects to demonstrate progress towards health care communication related Healthy People 2030 objectives.
