Comprehensive COVID-19 vaccination is the most effective way to provide a safe and robust on-campus experience for students, staff, and faculty.

The Campus COVID-19 Vaccine (CoVAC) Initiative Mini-Grant Program is a unique opportunity for campus leaders, including faculty, staff and students, to address challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to support institutions in need of resources to develop and implement effective vaccine confidence strategies.

Successful applicants will:

• Receive a mini-grant of $3,000 for use in fall 2021 to further the goal of increasing COVID-19 vaccine confidence on campus using various marketing and communication strategies, including implementing the Campus Vaccine Confidence Toolkit (coming in summer 2021).

• Join a learning community of institutions of higher education, sharing knowledge and successes in building vaccine confidence on campus.

• Connect with college health professionals and students committed to promoting COVID-19 vaccine confidence on campus.

Mini-grant funds may be used to augment existing COVID-19 vaccine confidence strategies or to implement new and innovative plans.

Applications are due July 15, 2021.
