RFP Part 2: Expectations 2.1 Grant Activity Requirements Commitment to Accessibility, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Organizations funded under this grant must have a commitment to conduct activities or provide services in an accessible, welcoming, and respectful manner. Activities must be conducted in a culturally sensitive and respectful way that honors and values diverse life experiences for those seeking services, and for program staff, leadership, and advisory boards. OJP asks organizations to make efforts to ensure their leadership and staff are representative of the diversity of Minnesotans and the communities served. Community and Systems Partnerships Since interventions rarely, if ever occur within one organization or system, it is expected that the key stakeholders of your project are invited to and authentically engage with all aspects of this process. Genuine partnerships and collaborations involve clear roles and responsibilities, and partners are compensated whenever possible. Grantees should work together in partnership with relevant stakeholders, which may be systems partners, other community organizations, local public health, businesses, or other government agencies. Evidence Informed and Promising Practices While prioritizing programs that use evidence-based practices(those that have been rigorously evaluated and demonstrated effectiveness), we also recognize the importance of supporting innovative and community driven strategies. Many effective approaches emerge from the lived experiences of communities of color, Indigenous communities, and other historically marginalized groups. These approaches, often rooted in cultural traditions and local expertise, align with practice-based evidence (PBE). PBE encompasses strategies developed over time through practice, experience, and community validation. Projects may be research-based, drawing on published literature including both qualitative and quantitative studies, or they may be promising strategies that demonstrate strong community support, responsiveness to local needs, and alignment with emerging best practices.
