Description:Building Resilient Inclusive Communities (BRIC) is a program of NACDD’s Center for Advancing Healthy Communities. NACDD and its more than 7,000 Members seek to improve the health of the public by strengthening leadership and expertise for chronic disease prevention and control in states, territories, and at the national level. Established in 1988, in partnership with the CDC, NACDD is the only membership association of its kind serving and representing every state and U.S. territory’s chronic disease division.
In collaboration with CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) and the Division of Population Health (DPH), and a team of nationally recognized experts, NACDD is providing funding to 20 states (including 15 DNPAO SPAN-funded states and five DNPAO Ambassador states) to implement BRIC. As part of the program, states are engaging more than 60 communities to address food and nutrition security, safe physical activity access, and social connectedness through policy, systems, and environmental change strategies. Social determinants of health, health equity, and social justice principles are integrated into the planning and implementation of all three strategy areas, in addition to accounting for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on groups at highest risk.
The initial project period was January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021; additional years of funding were awarded in 2021 and 2022, expanding the project period to December 31, 2023.
The Improving Food Security, Access to Safe Physical Activity, and Social Connectedness (otherwise known as the Building Resilient Inclusive Communities, or BRIC) program is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $15,908,391 with 100 percent funded by CDC/HHS Cooperative Agreement #OT18-1802, Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services through National Partnerships to Improve and Protect the Nation’s Health, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
