Congratulations to the recipients of our Year 2 CoVAC Initiative Mini-Grants!

Our mini-grant recipients were located in 28 states plus the District of Columbia and included private and public institutions, community and two-year colleges, historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, military-affiliated institutions, and faith-based institutions.

These schools each received $3,000 to increase COVID-19 vaccine confidence on their campuses in the fall using various peer-to-peer marketing and communication strategies, including implementing the Campus Vaccine Confidence Toolkit.
