Description
The Maryland Department of Health is seeking proposals to expand access to diabetes self-management programs in clinical settings. The project aims to establish a sustainable network of diabetes self-management support and education sites across the state, with a focus on priority populations including Black men and persons with low income. The selected applicant will be required to provide education and support services, including individual care plans, group education, and outreach activities. The project will be funded for a period of 116 days, from February 12, 2026, to June 29, 2026.
• The project will provide education and support services to individuals with diabetes, with a focus on priority populations.
• The selected applicant will be required to establish a DSMES program, enroll and retain participants, and strengthen referral linkages.
• The project will be evaluated based on performance measures, including the number of new DSMES services established, the number of people reached through outreach activities, and the proportion of DSMES participants with diabetes who complete at least 10 hours of education.
