Frequently Asked Questions
1) How are organizations part of the action teams vs organizations in the community that are not part of the action team going to be brought into the CHIP work?
Answer: Organizations that are on an action team in any capacity can receive an extra point on a funding application. This gives them a slight edge for taking on additional roles in the CHIP cycle. As all applications will be scored the same way, it is possible that an agency that isn’t part of an action team could be awarded funding. In this case it is helpful to think of
them almost “joining your action team”. They are taking some of the work back to their organization to carry out the goals of the team. Other organizations on our action teams have been doing similar things throughout this CHIP cycle- taking things back to their sector or using their position within the company to obtain data. Any potential outside agency to be awarded funding would be expected to work with the action teams and assist in the implementation effort. This will keep the focus on the strategies while allowing for an open award process.
2) If an external agency is awarded ARPA funding, what are the logistics of having their projects align with the CHIP project?
Answer: I think one important aspect will be sharing some of all your hard work with them! By reading over your action plans or looking at some of the spreadsheets they can understand the RBA process better, and align to the action plans more thoroughly. This is a topic I continue to explore. “We are building the plane as we are flying it” so they say.
ARPA Funding ($300,000 available):
ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) Funding for Action Team Plans refers to allocating federal funding to support implementing initiatives outlined in the Waukesha County CHIP. These funds provide resources to address priority areas identified through the CHIP process, such as improving access to healthcare services, addressing social determinants of health, and reducing health disparities. Our vision is for the strategic priority action teams to collaborate, develop, and implement plans that leverage ARPA funding to achieve measurable results. By aligning these efforts with the principles of RBA and utilizing tools like the Clear Impact ScoreCard, stakeholders can maximize the impact of ARPA funding and accelerate progress toward the goals outlined in the CHIP.
