CareSource Community Health Innovation Grant Challenge | School of Public Health | UNLV Public Health Internships Major IT service outages April 7-10 Colleges, Schools, and Departments Research Centers and Institutes CareSource Community Health Innovation Grant Challenge Investing in Data-Driven, Community-Led Solutions for Community Health and Social Needs Across Nevada.
The CareSource Community Health Innovation Grant Challenge supports six community organizations by awarding them with grants up to $25,000 to expand programs or launch new initiatives in Nevada.
Two organizations were selected for each funding area and the awardees were assigned a faculty research expert from the UNLV School of Public Health to oversee the entire grant process, including application review, technical support to applicants, stewardship of funds, and measurable outcome tracking and reporting.
The selected organizations are: Nevada Breastfeeding Coalition NyE Communities Coalition Children’s Advocacy Alliance Carson City School District’s McKinney-Vento Program The challenge also invested a total of $150,000 for the research led by UNLV faculty across the three areas.
By investing a total of $300,000 towards this challenge, CareSource aims to strengthen Nevada’s broader public health and nonprofit ecosystem to make a meaningful impact on community health and social needs across the state. Breakdown of the Challenge Funds $150,000 was awarded through six $25,000 grants to selected nonprofit organizations.
$150,000 was invested in research led by UNLV School of Public Health faculty equally across the three key areas to support evaluation, learning, and long-term impact.
The challenge priorities are directly informed by the 2025 Southern Nevada Community Health Assessment (SNCHA) , which identified urgent and persistent disparities affecting Nevada communities: Maternal and child health: Nevada experiences higher-than-average rates of preterm birth, infant mortality, low birth weight, and congenital syphilis, with pronounced racial and ethnic disparities.
Immunization awareness and confidence: Mistrust, misinformation, and lack of culturally relevant outreach continue to limit vaccine uptake, particularly in underserved and rural communities. Social drivers of health: Housing instability, food insecurity, transportation barriers, and economic insecurity remain key drivers of poor health outcomes across the state. This is not a traditional top-down grant program.
We recognize that community organizations are partners in shaping solutions, not just implementing them.
By pairing UNLV’s faculty expertise with trusted community organizations, we can strengthen the evaluation of community health programs/projects and help ensure they are practical, sustainable, grounded in research, informed by lived experience, and able to grow beyond the grant period CareSource's role in this challenge brings a mission-driven managed care perspective to the community that is grounded in compassion, innovation, and accountability.
As a visible and trusted leader in advancing health quality statewide, CareSource maintains a long-term commitment to improving outcomes for Medicaid-eligible and underserved populations across Nevada through coverage and investment in community-led solutions.

Her work focuses on maternal and child nutrition, breastfeeding and infant feeding, food insecurity, and early childhood development. She brings experience evaluating and scaling evidence-based interventions in both U.S. and global settings, with a strong emphasis on improving outcomes for children and families through practical, research-informed approaches.
Social Drivers of Health: Tim Grigsby Tim Grigsby is an assistant professor of social and behavioral health whose research centers on the health effects of childhood trauma, substance misuse prevention, and health disparities in Hispanic and Latinx communities.

Immunization Awareness and Confidence: Brian Labus Brian Labus is an associate professor of epidemiology and an infectious disease epidemiologist with more than two decades of experience in outbreak investigation, disease surveillance, and public health response.
