    Disparity Reduction Action Plan (DRAP)
    Your DRAP should identify the disparity in your community, the need and benefit of providing WRAP to this disparity’s population, existing barriers, and how you will address these barriers to impact access to WRAP. Also, identify an estimated number of people in the identified DRAP you anticipate serving within the first year. If your DRAP identifies more than one disparity population indicate the estimated number in each population. More information on Disparity Impact Statements in preparing your application can be found here: https://www.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/dis-training-slides.pdf

    The aim of providing these scholarships is to achieve behavioral health equity for disparate populations and to improve systems addressing the needs of these populations. The disparities reduction action plan scholarship criteria aligns with expectations outlined in Presidential Executive Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, which includes identifying the needs of underserved communities and developing policies to advance (health) equity within those communities.
