PILOT PROJECTS

We’re excited to announce the Request for Proposals (RFP) for FY26 CIAG Pilot Projects!

The FY26 CIAG Pilot Project application window is now closed. Applications received are currently being reviewed. Up to three proposals will be funded, with awards ranging from $7,000 to $10,000 each. Funding decisions will be announced by mid-December. The FY26 funding period is January 1, 2026 – September 30, 2026.

CIAG is excited to announce the 2025 funded pilot projects, which were selected through a competitive application process. This year the review committee received 18 applications and held multiple rounds of review to select awardees. Funding was available for up to five drowning prevention projects up to $25,000.00 each and up to three non-drowning prevention projects between $7,000.00 - $10,000.00 each. Each project will be provided funding through the Child Injury Grantee administering CIAG to initiate a policy, systems, and/or environmental change. Drowning prevention projects were required to focus on water competency through free and reduced swimming lessons for children ages 3-18 and caregiver education. 

By providing these funds to diverse communities and organizations, children and families throughout Ohio will have opportunities to achieve the best health possible with evidence-based injury prevention strategies. 

The following seven projects were awarded funding.
