Criteria we consider includes: * **Intentional Power Sharing –** the community is central to the approach of this work and is leading the solution, through intentional power sharing and co-design.
* **Root Barriers –**works to strategically remove root barriers to advancing health equity for the impacted population. * **Proposal Strength & Impact –**the practices used are defined clearly, the proposed work is viable, and the solution will create transformational change beyond the life of the grant.
