Mini-Grants Available for Community-Based Organizations

Queen Anne’s County Department of Health is seeking applicants for the Community Anti-Tobacco Mini-Grants. Mini grants available on behalf of our Cigarette Restitution Fund. These grants are to be used to help educate the community on tobacco prevention, youth tobacco prevention, cessation and/or menthol roundtable discussions. These mini-grants can be awarded for up to $1,000 each.

Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. Based on information from the American Cancer Society, more than 480,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco use. Despite these facts, young people continue to take up smoking at the rate of more than 2,800 plus per day. Please help us to prevent smoking, youth vaping, and bringing awareness about menthol cigarettes targeting minority communities.

Our grantees are expected to use the funding for projects that will build upon one or more of the various tobacco awareness campaigns, such as:

Youth Anti-Vaping (Anytime during the year)

Menthol Roundtable Discussions (Anytime during the year) Red Ribbon Week (October 23ʳᵈ-31ˢᵗ)

Information about New World Screwworm

The Maryland Department of Health, in coordination with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Maryland Department of Agriculture, and local and state partners, recently investigated a CDC-confirmed case of travel-associated New World screwworm (NWS) myiasis in a resident of Maryland who had returned from a country currently experiencing a NWS outbreak.

The Maryland resident has recovered from the infection, and the investigation confirmed there is no indication of transmission to any other individuals or animals. Currently, the risk to public and animal health in Maryland from this introduction is very low.

The detection serves as a timely reminder for health care providers, livestock owners and others to maintain vigilance through routine monitoring, as prevention is paramount.

Health care providers in Maryland should report suspected cases immediately to the Maryland Department of Health at 410-767-6700 or their local health department. A clinical overview of NWS myiasis can be found here: HHS CDC.

Livestock owners in Maryland should monitor their animals for any symptoms and immediately report any suspected cases to the Maryland Department of Agriculture at 410-841-5810. A comprehensive list of symptoms and effective prevention strategies can be found here: USDA APHIS.
