FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 T&C Page 4 of 9

damages, losses, costs or expenses (including court costs, attorneys' fees and costs of claim
processing, investigation and litigation) ("Claims") for bodily injury or personal injury (including
death) or loss or damage to tangible or intangible property caused, or alleged to be caused, in
whole or in part, by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the grantee or any of its
owners, officers, directors, agents, employees, volunteers, subcontractors or subgrantees. This
indemnity includes any Claim or amount arising out of, or recovered under, the Workers'
Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of the grantee to conform to any federal, state
or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is the specific intention of
the parties that the State shall, in all instances, except for Claims arising solely from the
negligent or willful acts or omissions of the State, be indemnified by the grantee from and
against any and all Claims. It is agreed that the grantee will be responsible for primary loss
investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification is applicable. In
consideration of the award of this grant, the grantee agrees to waive all rights of subrogation
against the State for losses arising from the work performed by the grantee for the State.
15.2. Government Agency. This paragraph applies if the grantee is a governmental entity and is not a
department, agency, board, commission or university of the State of Arizona. Each party (as
"Indemnitor") agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party (as "Indemnitee")
from and against any and all Claims arising out of bodily injury of any person (including death)
or property damage but only to the extent that such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative
liability to the lndemnitee are caused by the act, omission, negligence, misconduct or other
fault of the lndemnitor or any of its officers, officials, agents, employees or volunteers.
15.3. Patent and Copyright. The grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the State against any
liability, including costs and expenses, for infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright
arising out of grant performance or use by the State of materials furnished or work performed

which it may be liable under this paragraph. This paragraph does not apply if the grantee is
insured pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-621.
15.4. Subcontractors. The grantee shall contractually require its subcontractors and subgrantees, if
any, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the State as described in this Section unless the
subcontractor or subgrantee is a state agency.
16. Insurance.
16.1. In the event the grantee is a governmental entity, then the insurance requirements in this
Section do not apply, except that such governmental entity grantee shall provide a Certificate
of Self-Insurance. If the governmental entity grantee is a department, agency, board,
commission or university of the State of Arizona, then the Certificate of Self-Insurance
requirement does not apply either.
16.2. The grantee shall procure and maintain until all of its obligations have been discharged or
satisfied, including any warranty periods under this Grant Agreement, insurance in the amounts
stated below against claims for injury to persons or damage to property which may arise from
or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the grantee, including its

the State of Arizona or on hold approved non-admitted status on the Arizona Department of
Insurance List of Qualified Unauthorized Insurers. Insurers shall have an "A.M. Best" rating of

its policies or grantee shall be responsible for ensuring and/or verifying that all subcontractors
have valid and collectable insurance as evidenced by the certificates of insurance and

minimum requirements identified above. First Things First reserves the right to require, at any
time throughout the life of the Grant Agreement, proof from the grantee that its
subcontractors have the required coverage.
16.9. This Section assumes the grant award is for more than $50,000, that the grantee will be using
vehicles beyond commuting in order to provide the services under the Grant Agreement, that
the grantee will be working with children in order to provide the services under the Grant
Agreement, and that the grantee will be providing professional services in order to provide the
services under the Grant Agreement. If any of these assumptions do not apply to this Grant
Agreement, then upon agreement of First Things First, the insurance requirements will be
reduced or removed in part from the Grant Agreement as appropriate.

grantee shall also procure and maintain a fidelity insurance policy, consistent with the State of

necessary. Such action will not require a formal grant amendment, but may be made by
administrative action.

the person indicated on the Offer and Acceptance form submitted by the grantee unless otherwise
stated in the Grant Agreement. Notices to First Things First required by the Grant Agreement shall be

Section A - Executive Summary
The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) Office of Community Wellness and
Health Promotion is applying for the First Things First Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity
(NOPA) Grant. Since 2015, MCDPH has worked this grant consistently meeting and exceeded all
grant deliverables.
Our proposed service delivery model will be similar to the successful implementation model used
during the last three years. Additionally, we will incorporate the new data requirements, such as
demographic information, as outlined in the NOPA SFY19 Data Reporting Requirements and use
the curricula approved for this year’s strategy. At a minimum, we will reach 25 children age 0 to 5
years with the Color Me Healthy curriculum; 100 parents and/or caregivers with the Eat, Play Grow
curriculum, and 25 Early Care and Education Professionals with the SPARK curriculum. We will
provide services within the communities of Arlington, Avondale, Buckeye, Dateland, Gila Bend,
Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Palo Verde, Tolleson and Tonopah. The region includes ZIP codes:
85139, 85322, 85323, 85326, 85333, 85337, 85338, 85340, 85343, 85353, 85354, 85392, 85395
and 85396 in Maricopa County. As done in year’s past, we will issue pre- and posttests for each
training series (excluding children 0-5) for the new curricula. Additionally, we will utilize an overall
satisfaction survey at the end of each series to elicit ideas on program improvement. MCDPH will
work with our Program Evaluator and First Things First to prepare valid evaluation tools as each
curricula selected do not have prescribed assessment tools.
The Health Educator employed by MCDPH working this grant has an extensive network of
collaborating agencies in the Southwest Region of First Things First. Through her established
relationships in the region, and by creating new partnerships, we expect this grant to bring
evidence based education to those who care for young children the Southwest region. Through
this education, we expect positive behavior changes in those who care for children 0-5 years of
age, reducing the children’s risk of obesity. Moreover, by partnering with many agencies in the
region, ensuring that messaging is consistent, we expect the risk factors associated with poor
nutrition and inadequate physical activity to decrease, enabling the children in the region to lead
healthier lives. Maricopa County Department of Public Health is uniquely positioned to
enthusiastically succeed in the delivery of this grant due to our established relationships in the
Southwest region, our Department’s choice to prioritize Early Childhood Development in the
current Community Health Improvement Plan, and the ability to collaborate with many other
internal and external programs working toward the same goal of helping young children lead
healthy lives and enter kindergarten ready to learn.
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 5 of 185

Section B - Capacity for Addressing the Needs and Implementing the Strategy
Section B, I, A.
The Vision of The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) is “A Safe and Healthy
Community”. The Mission of MCDPH is “To protect and promote the health and well-being of
Maricopa County residents and visitors”. Maricopa County Department of Public Health serves
the third largest local public health jurisdiction in the United States, with more than 3.8 million
residents according to the 2010 census. The Health Improvement Partnership of Maricopa County
(HIPMC) is a collaborative effort between MCDPH and multiple public and private organizations
addressing priority health issues through the 2018-2020 Community Health Improvement Plan.
For 2018-2020, three priority areas were selected: Access to Healthcare, Access to Healthy Food,
and Early Childhood Development. In 2015, MCDPH was awarded the Nutrition, Obesity, and
Physical Activity NOPA grant from First Things First where expected deliverables for the past 3
years have been achieved and surpassed.
Additionally, within our department, we collaborate with multiple programs who are addressing
the barriers to adequate Early Childhood Development such as:
 The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
 First Things First - Quality First
 The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP Ed; recently named AZ
Health Zone in Arizona)
 South Phoenix Healthy Start
 Nurse-Family Partnership
 Newborn Intensive Care Program
 Lead Hazard Control Program
All of the programs listed above have a preventative health focus; and all programs cover the
importance of good nutrition with their participants/families. First Things First’s (FTF) Statement
of Need specifies that childhood obesity is associated with a negative impact on children’s
development and readiness for kindergarten. The SNAP Ed program’s Early Childhood Education
Team resides in the same office and division as the First Things First (FTF) Nutrition, Obesity and
Physical Activity (NOPA) grant. The SNAP Ed Early Childhood Team and the Health Educator
employed by the FTF NOPA grant have experience with the new curricula selections for the fiscal
year 2019 NOPA grant.
Additionally, MCDPH offers 2 accredited Dietetic Internship programs, where Bachelor and Master
degreed nutrition professionals perform between 1248 and 1412 hours of supervised practice in
the field of nutrition to become Registered Dietitians. Registered Dietitians are recognized as the
preeminent nutrition expert. MCDPH employs seven Registered Dietitians in various programs;
including the current supervisor of the FTF NOPA grant. In addition, one employee has the
ACSM/NPAS (American College of Sports Medicine/National Physical Activity Society) Physical
Activity in Public Health Specialist certification.
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 6 of 185

Therefore, due to the extensive preventative health focused programming MCDPH offers; the
number of experts in the field of nutrition and physical activity employed by the department; the
strategic focus of the department to prioritize the field of Early Childhood Education in their
Community Health Improvement Plan; coupled with MCDPH being awarded this grant in the past
to an more than satisfactory level, we feel MCDPH is qualified for the FTF NOPA grant.
Section B, II, A, 1, a)
During the last 3 years, Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) Nutrition, Obesity,
and Physical Activity (NOPA) grant has interacted, educated and trained families and caregivers in
the First Things First (FTF) Southwest region; including the rural areas of Buckeye, Palo Verde, Gila
Bend, Tonopah, and Harquahala. For example, in January 2018, the MCDPH NOPA grant began a
series of trainings in Paloma Elementary School in Gila Bend that were well attended. After the
training series, the Paloma parents reported they are eating healthier, are more active with their
children, and have reduced sedentary game playing on their phones. In October 2017, the MCDPH
NOPA grant offered a training series in the Buckeye Family resource Center. After the series, the
Buckeye families reported they felt confident in purchasing healthy nutritious foods for their
families. Prior to the series the parents felt they could not be physically active with their children.
After the series, the parents reported how excited they are to be active with their children.
Recently, in collaboration with KidsWatchAZ providers, the MCDPH NOPA grant offered a training
on physical activity at a dairy farm in Tonopah. The providers in attendance expressed their
interest in repeating the class at Ruth Fisher Elementary. The providers enjoyed the class and
noted they would gladly promote the program with other families and friends.
Section B, II, A, 1, b)
For the current year to date, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH)
Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity (NOPA) grant has trained 468 parents (156% of the Target
Service Unit for parents), 177 children, and 35 providers. The grant is on track to exceed the
number goals for all Target Service Units. Last year, MCDPH NOPA trained 716 parents (239% of
the Target Service Unit), 271 children (no Target Service Unit required), and 133 providers (178%
of the Target Service Unit).
Ms. Jasmine Sanchez, the MCDPH NOPA Health Educator, has over 10 years of experience in the
childcare field with extensive knowledge of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), FTF
Quality First, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other organizations
catering to the 0-5 age group and their caregivers. Ms. Sanchez has created many strong
partnerships throughout the FTF Southwest region. She is bilingual and offers all of the trainings in
both Spanish and English. Ms. Sanchez has specialized training in the fiscal year 2019 curricula:
Color Me Healthy and SPARK. She has 6 years of experience working in and is a trusted
community partner in the FTF Southwest region.
Section B, II, A, 1, c)
For the past 3 years, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) Nutrition,
Obesity, and Physical Activity (NOPA) grant formed a very strong partnership network throughout
the Southwest region that has aided in the success of the program.
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 7 of 185

Partners include:
 Buckeye Family Resource Center- MCDPH NOPA has a very strong partnership with Buckeye.
Recently, a series of the trainings concluded and the trainings were well received. Parents
reported they felt much more comfortable reading food labels. They also did not think they
could have fun while being physically active with their families until they attended the
trainings. MCDPH NOPA collaborated with the Kindergarten Readiness Classes to offer the
training at the site. Currently, we are collaborating with Catholic Charities Westside Head Start
to provide education and training to their families.
 Pendergast School District and Resource Center- MCDPH NOPA program recently completed a

Section B, III, A.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has six divisions. The First Things First
(FTF) Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity (NOPA) grant currently resides in the Community
Wellness and Health Promotion Office in the Disease Control Division. Community Wellness and
Health Promotion also houses the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – Education (SNAP
Ed) program’s Early Care Education Team. The Early Care Education Team employs two Registered
Dietitians. The objective of the Early Care Education team is to work with Early Care Education
Professionals, parents, and caregivers of children 0 - 5 years on policy, systems, and environmental
changes to improve the quality of the health, nutrition, and physical activity environments.
Currently, one of the Registered Dietitians on the Early Care Education Team supervises the FTF
NOPA grant’s Health Educator position.
Additionally, The FTF Quality First Child Care Health Consultants (CCHC) reside in the Community
Wellness and Health Promotion office. The MCDPH CCHC program employs ten Registered Nurses
whose objectives include: to improve the health status of children in child care; to increase health
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 9 of 185

promotion and disease prevention in childcare; and to facilitate children's use of health services.
Employees of the SNAP Ed Early Care Education team, the Child Care Health Consultant team, and
the Health Educator employed by the FTF NOPA grant communicate on a regular basis to
collaborate on initiatives to reduce child obesity risk factors. All programs utilize evidenced-based
approaches in health, nutrition, and physical activity for parents/caregivers of children 0-5 years of
age and for early childhood professionals. Therefore, the FTF NOPA grant would continue to be
able to leverage the expertise of other programs within the same office/department who have
similar program objectives and consist of professionals in the nutrition, physical activity, and
health fields. In addition, MCDPH has the infrastructure to offer other professional experts in the
fields of procurement, budgeting, program evaluation and continuous quality improvement
through in-kind support from multiple offices and disciplines responsible to support this grant-
funded position.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health also administers the Health Improvement
Partnership of Maricopa County (HIPMC). HIPMC is a collaborative effort between MCDPH and
multiple public and private organizations addressing priority health issues through the 2018-2020
Community Health Improvement Plan. For 2018-2020, three priority areas have been selected:
Access to Healthcare, Access to Healthy Food, and Early Childhood Development. Within the
department, MCDPH has organized all offices and programs who work with the 0-5 years of age
population and their caregivers into the “Early Care Education Cloud” (committee). This
committee meets monthly to coordinate efforts and leverage resources between programs, and
supports the HIPMC group. By selecting Early Childhood Development as a priority focus area, the
department and collaborative partners in the community will diligently work to reduce the risk
factors of poor nutrition and inadequate physical activity leading to childhood obesity.
Since 2015, when MCDPH was awarded the FTF NOPA Grant, the program has employed Jasmine
Sanchez, a well-respected Health Educator who has successfully built many meaningful
relationships in the Southwest Region. Currently, and in the past, Ms. Sanchez has leveraged
resources by collaborating with several programs, schools, and agencies who have the same target
populations as the FTF NOPA grant. She has successfully implemented the grant, consistently
surpassing the Target Service Units required by the grant.
Therefore, given the strategic structure of the department, including the multiple programs
housed in the Community Wellness and Health Promotion Office, selecting Early Childhood
Development as a priority focus area, and the experience of the successful implementation of this
grant in years past, we feel MCDPH is excellently positioned to continue to implement the FTF
NOPA Grant in the Southwest Region.
Section C - Program Description
Section C, I, A.
The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical
Activity (NOPA) program is committed to providing evidence based health education to children,
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 10 of 185

parents/caregivers of children 0-5 years of age, and to early care education professionals. MCDPH
NOPA will continue to increase the knowledge of all target audiences and improve practices in
early care and education settings. MCDPH NOPA fully supports healthy eating and daily physical
movement while supporting the overall health of families and caregivers.
MCDPH NOPA will continue to collaborate with local agencies creating a strong responsive unit
targeting the needs of the families and members of the community. Through this coordination,
MCDPH NOPA assists in creating a high quality, interconnected, and comprehensive early
childhood system focusing toward improving the children’s overall development.
MCDPH NOPA works closely with all organizations in the region providing nutrition and physical
activity education aligning the core messages of good nutrition, healthy weight and physical
activity. MCDPH NOPA will continue to collaborate with the Southwest organizations who provide
nutrition and physical activity education in order to prevent any duplication of services.
MCDPH NOPA is well positioned to implement this grant’s Scope of Work thoroughly and fully.
MCDPH NOPA will teach the approved curricula with fidelity; offering a series of sessions that build
upon each other. MCDPH NOPA classes will have a minimum of three attendees and a maximum
of 20 attendees using interactive approaches to promote healthy eating practices and physical
activity. Motivational interviewing skills will be utilized when providing the training to all target
audiences. The programs provided are culturally responsive; following the guidelines in the
Standards of Practice.
MCDPH NOPA researched the approved curricula to find the best fit for each target population.
MCDPH NOPA will utilize Color Me Healthy (CMH) for the children target population. CMH is an
award-winning, evidence-based curriculum developed by North Carolina Cooperative Extension
and the Physical Activity and Nutrition Unit of the North Carolina Division of Public Health. CMH is
designed to address the current epidemic of childhood overweight and obesity, where the
prevalence of overweight tripled between 1980 and 2000. The curriculum utilizes both the Social
Cognitive Theory and the Socioecological Model. The Social Cognitive Theory focuses on how
people develop and maintain certain behaviors and effective approaches for intervention. The
Socioecological Model presents a process for designing health and educational programs based on
five levels of influence: individual, interpersonal, organization, community, and society. Color Me
Healthy emphasizes a comprehensive approach involving the individual, family, and community.
MCDPH NOPA will provide a series of trainings for children in a location convenient for family
attendance.
MCDPH NOPA plans to use Eat, Play Grow for the parent/caregiver target population. Eat, Play
Grow was created through an innovative public-private partnership between the National
Institutes of Health and the Children's Museum of Manhattan. Eat, Play Grow’s interactive and
engaging lessons incorporate art-making, storytelling, music and movement activities into fun,
hands-on educational lessons about the importance of making positive choices in areas affecting
health: nutrition, physical activity, and sleep. MCDPH NOPA will provide a series of trainings
directed to parents and caregivers throughout the region in locations that are central to the target
audience.
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 11 of 185

MCDPH NOPA plans to use Spark for the Early Care and Education Professionals target population.
Spark is a research based early childhood physical activity curriculum. The curriculum was created
to promote health, fitness and well-being, through rigorous research and subsequent field-testing.
SPARK is designed to instruct professionals to provide children with high activity, academically
integrated, enjoyable movement opportunities fostering social and motor development to
enhance school readiness skills. SPARK activities are age-appropriate, engaging, rhythmical, and
fun. MCDPH NOPA will provide a series of trainings directed to Early Care and Education
Professionals throughout the region, at locations convenient for them.
For both parent/caregiver and Early Care and Education Professionals target populations, a pre-
and posttest will be administered at all education sessions. Neither Eat, Play Grow nor the SPARK
curricula have a prescribed assessment tools. MCDPH will work with Marina Celaya, Program
Evaluator, and First Things First to utilize a valid, reliable tool that aligns with the curricula. All
training sessions will be interactive and culturally responsive.
MCDPH NOPA will collaborate with new and existing Southwest Region partners providing
education to all three target populations. We will continue to ensure that nutrition and physical
activity core messages align with those of our partners, and confirm that services are not
duplicated.
Ms. Jasmine Sanchez, the MCDPH NOPA Health Educator is enrolled in the Arizona Early Childhood
Workforce Registry, and is in process to become a Professional Development Instructor in the
Registry. Ms. Sanchez possesses a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card; a current Food Handlers
Card, and has successfully completed both of the required on-line professional development
courses Introduction to the Arizona Infant and Toddler Developmental Guidelines and Introduction
to the Arizona Early Learning Standards.
MCDPH NOPA will create a policy and procedure manual as outlined in NOPA Standards of Practice
document, including a policy on inclusive services. MCDPH NOPA will be culturally responsive to all
members of the audience and community. The program will be monitored by our continuous
quality improvement initiatives. The quality improvement will focus on interpreting data collection
results to improve staff performance and improve outcomes of the program. The program
continue to follow the First Things First Food Service guidelines when providing food to
participants.
Section C, I, B, 1.
As outlined in the Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity (NOPA) Standards of Practice, Maricopa
County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) will utilize three educational programs for the three
different target populations. MCDPH will keep the fidelity of each curricula during the training
sessions. We will not combine the content of the lessons. Each curriculum will be taught as a single
lesson/series to the proposed target audience.
 Children: Color Me Healthy will be used as a training series throughout the region based on the
community need. MCDPH recognizes the short timeframe of attention for the children target
population, therefore each training in the series will be less than 30 minutes each. The training
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 12 of 185

series will be educational and interactive keeping the children’s attention. The training will be
provided at local resource centers, local schools, caregiver’s homes and any other location
where there is ample space for the activities.
 Parent/Caregivers: The Eat, Play Grow curriculum will be used throughout the region for
parents and caregivers of children 0-5 years of age. Each training in the series will be one hour
with 11 sessions in the series. The training series is very interactive and educational. The
training series will be scheduled throughout the region in cooperation with current partnering
agencies such as: Buckeye Family Resource Center, Pendergast School District and Resource
Center, Care1st Avondale Resource Center, KidsWatchAZ, Litchfield School District, Gila Bend
Family Resource Center, Paloma Elementary School District, Building Bright Futures, Littleton
Elementary School District, Palo Verde Elementary, Harquahala Fire Department, Tolleson
Elementary School District, Liberty Elementary ELL (English Language Learners) families and
migrant farmers. MCDPH NOPA will create new partnerships with local elementary schools and
local licensed childcare centers in order to reach a larger segment of the community.
 ECE Professionals: The SPARK curriculum will be utilized throughout the region for Early Care
and Education Professionals. Each training will be one hour with four trainings in the series.
The training will be interactive, educational, and inclusive. It will be scheduled throughout the
region in local childcare centers and homes, elementary schools with preschools, and with
other local community partners who work directly with the target population.
Section C, I, B, 2.
The Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has achieved national accreditation
through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). (See Attachment 1 - MCDPH Accreditation
Certificate)
Section C, I, B, 3.
In the past three years of grant implementation MCDPH NOPA has instituted the following
evaluation measures: Cooking Matters Satisfaction Surveys, a satisfaction survey after a single
training, and a satisfaction survey after a series of classes (see Attachment 2A and 2B – Cooking
Matters English/Spanish Tool). Every participant also completed the First Things First consent and
release form. For fiscal year 2019, MCDPH NOPA chose SPARK and the Eat, Play Grow curricula for
use with the parent/caregiver and Early Care and Education Professionals Target Populations.
These curricula do not have pre- or posttest assessments, nor overall satisfaction surveys. MCDPH
employs a program evaluator who will deliver in-kind support to the NOPA Health Educator in
creating pre- and posttest assessments for each curricula. The assessments have yet to be
created. The assessments will measure the training attendee’s knowledge gained and skills
change because of the education programming. The tools will be a valid and reliable aligning with
each curriculum’s objectives. The pretest will be offered at the beginning of the second class in
the series; while the posttest will be offered following the last session of the series. The scores of
the pre- and posttest will be calculated, reported to First Things First via reporting processes, and
then used to improve program delivery in the future. (See Attachment 2C/E – Final evaluation
after series – English/Spanish version; Attachment 2D – Satisfaction Survey)
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 13 of 185

For the Early Care and Education Professionals Target Population, five NAP SACC (Nutrition and
Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care) assessments will be completed with each
childcare location. The Health Educator will assist each location in writing an action plan according
to the results of the five NAP SACC assessments. The action plans will focus on improving the
nutrition and physical activity environments and practices at each location. (See Attachment 3A –
3E - Go NAP SACC)

 Tolleson Elementary School District, and
 English Language Learners (ELL) and Migrant Farmers of the Liberty School District.
MCDPH NOPA will continue to build upon these collaborations and seek new community partners.
We will recruit families through current partner collaborations and by contacting past attendees to
market trainings to families and friends. Throughout the training series, we will contact each
attendee/caregiver prior to each session to remind them of the upcoming training. Each training
will have a welcoming, fun, educational, and inclusive environment in order to assist in retention
efforts. MCDPH NOPA will also solicit feedback after each session to see how services may
improve in the future.

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity grant is
uniquely positioned to work with the hard-to-reach populations in the rural areas of the
Southwest Region because we have already created strong partnerships with several organizations
who serve the harder-to-reach populations. Additionally, we have worked with many of these
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 14 of 185

populations in the past during the implementation of this grant (see Section B, II, A, 1, c. of this
grant application). During the past years of implementation of this grant, the Health Educator
created a log of all the past participants so they can be contacted to assist in reaching a larger part
of their communities in the future.
Additionally, MCDPH helps to facilitate communication and outreach with community partners
that work with vulnerable or hard to reach populations to provide timely, accurate and culturally
appropriate information and materials on topics such as emergency preparedness, pandemics and
health related topics that affect Maricopa County. This website, Building Bridges to Health, is
maintained by MCDPH to help facilitate communication and resource-sharing among community
partners involved in this effort.
Section C, I, C, 3.
The Southwest Maricopa Region First Things First Needs and Assets Report indicated the
communities that make up the Southwest region are highly diverse; and contain a high percentage
of Hispanic families who need linguistically appropriate educational information for increased
understanding and retention. The MCDPA NOPA program is well positioned to provide
programming respecting the diversity of the population of the Southwest Region. The MCDPH
NOPA Health Educator has participated in numerous Culturally Linguistic Appropriate Services
(CLAS) trainings. Maricopa County offers diversity training, cultural competency training, and
mentorship on an ongoing basis for staff. She will use what she has learned from these trainings in
order to be culturally relevant when providing the services in the community. The Health Educator
is bilingual (English/Spanish) and will provide all program materials (e.g. sign in sheets,
evaluations, brochures, reference materials, etc.) in both English and Spanish. All training will be
offered to the community in both English and Spanish. MCDPH NOPA will use the approved age
appropriate curricula for each target audience; being inclusive of all families including
grandparents raising grandchildren, young parents, single parents, and all other various family
structures. The Health Educator will create a welcoming environment where all of the family
members can actively participate in the training sessions.
Section C, I, C, 4.
In accordance with the new definition of Target Service Units, at a minimum we will reach:
Children: 25
Parents/Caregivers: 100
Early Care and Education professionals: 25
Section C, I, D, 1-5.
No sub-contractors are proposed for the implementation of this grant.

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health’s Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity grant
has formed a very strong partnership network throughout the Southwest region and plans to
continue to strengthen those partnerships, in addition to building new partnerships.
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 15 of 185

 Buckeye Family Resource Center- the MCDPH NOPA currently has a strong collaboration
partnership with this resource center. We plan to grow this relationship by contacting the
new manager once the position is filled. We marketed the program through local partners
including Catholic Charities Westside Head Start, English Language Learners (ELL) and
migrant farmers and other local agencies. Through the current coordination, we have been
able to provide services to several local families who did not otherwise have access to
nutrition and physical activity education. When looking at the intensity of collaboration,
and because of the staff change at the resource center, our relationship with this program
will begin with cooperation partnership with plans to increase intensity to collaboration
through working directly with the program manager to schedule trainings. We are
confident that through this collaboration many of the Buckeye residents will be able to
attend the trainings by using a location more convenient for them.
 Pendergast School District and Resource Center- MCDPH NOPA will continue the strong
collaboration with Pendergast by scheduling training at their schools. Without this
collaboration, families in this district did not have access to nutrition and physical activity
education and training. The program may need to begin the collaboration stages again to
work on ways to collaborate in the upcoming fiscal year due to new preschool families. The
new families may have different preferences of trainings times and dates than in the past.
The health educator will work closely with the site to schedule training at a time and date
most convenient to the families. The partnership will be strengthened through these
collaboration tasks and working together to better serve the community.
 Care1st Avondale Resource Center- MCDPH NOPA plans to continue the partnership and
to coordinate with agencies to schedule classes for families who utilize the resource center.
The center is used by other agencies as a centralized location offering their resources to
families. During the new fiscal year, the program plans to strengthen the coordination
stage with the Resource Center Specialist Juan Marquez and hopes to enter the
collaboration stage. We plan to schedule the series of trainings not only through the local
agencies but also directly through the resource center focusing on the families and their
schedules. In the past, we have had many successful training sessions scheduled at this
site.
 KidsWatchAZ- MCDPH NOPA plans to continue the well-established collaboration stage
partnership with KidsWatchAZ and provide the training to their employees. MCDPH NOPA
also plans to strengthen the partnership throughout the rural areas, such as Arlington, and
work together to recruit more participants through marketing the other program at each of
the program’s events. Through continued collaboration, the program has been able to
solidify a strong partnership that provided several families the opportunity to benefit from
both of the programs. This collaboration has broadened the resources available to the
community and localization of resources. Several of the families receiving services
expressed the benefit of having the resources localized have given them the opportunity to
receive the services they otherwise would not be able to attend due to lack of
transportation.
 Litchfield School District- MCDPH NOPA will serve Litchfield families by scheduling the
trainings at a local school making it more convenient geographically. MCDPH NOPA also
plans to attend the Open house/Meet the Teacher Night in August to introduce the
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 16 of 185

program to incoming preschool families. Due to the new fiscal year, the partnership is
hopeful that it will stay in the coordination level with the goal of reaching the collaboration
level through working with the agency on ways to recruit more families into the program.
 Gila Bend Family Resource Center- MCDPH NOPA plans to establish new ways to involve
the Gila Bend through collaborating on community events and ways to reach the
community. Currently the programs are in the cooperation level but the program plans to
build on this partnership and grow into the coordination level. Although trainings have
been provided at the site in the past, we are hopeful we can work together to increase
overall attendance making it more convenient to families.
 Paloma Elementary School District- MCDPH NOPA program plans to continue to offer the
series of trainings for Paloma families. MCDPH NOPA also plans to work with Paloma on
future events such as open houses or preschool events to reach potential program
participants. Through providing the training series at the preschool, several families were
reached who may not have otherwise attended due to transportation. Through the
transition of the new school year, the program anticipates it will stay in the coordination
level working hard to move to a collaboration level through working on ways to recruit
more families to schedule at a time and date that work best for the families.
 Building Bright Futures- MCDPH will continue to provide training to the families and invite
local agencies such as CACFP providers to attend. In the past, several families would not
have had access to the MCDPH NOPA trainings if it had not been through the collaboration
effort with Building Bright Futures. In addition, the CACFP providers stated they would not
have been able to continue to receive services from CACFP if they had not attended the
MCDPH NOPA trainings. We plan to continue to recruit families through this partnership
and schedule the training in a centralized location making it convenient for the families to
receive both of the program’s services.
 Littleton Elementary School District- MCDPH NOPA program will continue the
collaboration and work with the new site liaison to schedule the trainings for their families.
Due to the current change in staff at the site, we are currently at a cooperation level of
engagement with Littleton. This relationship will take some time by working with the new
staff and attracting families who have not attended in the past. Families who attended in
the past were appreciative it was close to their home and within their child’s school
district.
 Palo Verde Elementary- MCDPH NOPA program will continue with the strong partnership
with Palo Verde Head Start. Currently the programs are in the collaboration stage, but due
to the new school year and new families beginning the program, it will be in the
coordination stage. We will work with Head Start Manager Sandra Salazar on ways to
market the program to the new families. We will schedule the classes at a date and time
that is convenient for the families. In the past, we met with the families prior to scheduling
the trainings to discuss potential dates and times most convenient to them.
 Harquahala Fire Department- MCDPH NOPA will attend the annual October Fire Station
event to recruit new families and build new partnerships in the community. Currently the
programs are at a coordination level. This is based on the current efforts to provide the
training at the fire station, a centralized location that makes it easier for families to attend.
Through attending the local events, we are confident the relationship will enter into the
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 17 of 185

collaboration level. We will reach out to the community and collecting contact information
of the families in attendance at the local events. This will assist in creating a contact list of
families to invite to the training series.
 Tolleson Elementary School District- MCDPH NOPA plans to continue this strong
partnership and work closely with the Community Liaison Madeline Hernandez in order to
continue providing the trainings for their families. The current partnership is a
collaboration level. Currently the district has a large location welcoming to families. In the
past, the site provided breakfast making it easier to schedule the class’s right after the start
of the preschooler’s day. Several of the Spanish-speaking only families stated prior to the
MCDPH NOPA trainings they did not have access to nutrition and physical activity
information in Spanish. The MCDPH NOPA is confident that the level of collaboration will
continue to stay strong.
 Liberty Elementary English Language Learners (ELL) Families and Migrant Farmers –
MCDPH NOPA program plans to continue this strong partnership through the current
collaborations and invite staff and families to training. Due to the reduction in staff within
their program, the current partnership is at the coordination level. We are hopeful we will
grow the partnership through collaboration.
MCDPH NOPA training has grown in overall participation, with significant increase in number of
parents/caregivers trained; consequently, we have increased training offered throughout the
region. Our strong partnerships will carry on for the upcoming years. MCDPH anticipates the
families who have participated in the MCDPH NOPA trainings will assist in the outreach of
recruiting new families to participate in the program.
Section C, I, F.
Many of the anticipated barriers of this project were encountered during the first three years of
grant implementation. MCDPH NOPA has been able to recognize and overcome barriers such as
lack of transportation in rural areas by providing the series of training in easily accessible locations
within the rural areas. Another challenge is the need for all of the training to be provided in English
and Spanish. MCDPH is able to do that to meet the needs of the community. For families who have
varied work and other time commitments, the MCDPH NOPA Health Educator is able to adjust her
schedule to better accommodate the needs of the community, frequently working on evenings
and weekends. MCDPH NOPA also anticipates it may difficult for our target populations to attend
each class in a training series. Efforts will be made to encourage attendees to attend the series in
its entirety. For example, reminder phone calls will be made prior to each session.
Section C, I, G.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health has a Continuous Quality Improvement “Cloud”
(committee). The Quality Improvement Cloud meets quarterly and includes representatives from
each division at MCDPH. Members represent the interests of their divisions and provide strategic
direction on how Continuous Quality Improvement is implemented in the department. MCDPH also
has a comprehensive personnel performance rating system whereby each grant’s deliverables are
translated into a personal action plan monitored by the position’s supervisor. In addition to the grant
deliverables, all employees are monitored and rated on additional organization and job competencies
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 18 of 185

including: Technical Skills, Organizational Alignment, Fiscal Accountability, Teamwork, Customer
Service, Communication, Leadership, Diversity, Personal Effectiveness, Safety, Security and Wellness.
Supervisors and employees meet formally at least twice annually to review progress on grant
deliverables and to monitor effectiveness of the implementation of the program, however monitoring
employee performance informally occurs on a daily basis.
The FTF Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity Health Educator and her supervisor will continue to
be in regular communication about the grant performance, deliverables and implementation. The
supervisor reviews the monthly and quarterly reports reported in the Partner Grants Management
System (PGMS) system.
During the past years where MCDPH has implemented the FTF NOPA grant, we have instituted
multiple levels of quality improvement throughout the program including pre- and posttests
before and after trainings and quality surveys at the end of training series. The health educator
and her supervisor monitor the input from the residents of the Southwest Region and respond to
suggestions for improvement if received. Historically, the pre- and posttests collected before and
after trainings, and the quality surveys performed at the end of education series have returned
very favorable results.
During the last quality assurance evaluation from First Things First, the following strengths and
highlights were noted:
 The Health Educator is passionate about her work and making a healthy impact within the
community;
 The Health Educator comes with a wealth of knowledge regarding the region, strategy, and
process of implementation. It is essential to the role in laying the foundation to health and
wellness in the region;
 The program was developed to meet the needs of the target audience and provides families
with the tools needed to be successful in making changes to their health and wellness;
 Moreover, the Health Educator has done an exceptional job with intentionally
connecting/relating to families and ensuring families never feel bad about the choices they
have made in the past.
For fiscal year 2019, the NOPA grant requires more data collection than in year’s past. As noted in
the Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity SFY19 FTF Data Reporting Requirements attachments
(see Attachment 4 and 4A), MCDPH does have the capacity to collect the data requested in both
the Program Implementation and Participant Demographic Information sections. One of the in-
kind positions available to assist in the data collection process is Marina Celaya. Ms. Celaya is one
of the Program Evaluators employed by the department. Ms. Celaya has assisted the NOPA grant
in the past with program evaluation.
Ms. Jasmine Sanchez, the Health Educator currently employed by the NOPA grant will continue to
collect all of the required data and submit it via the First Things First Partner Grants Management
System (including monthly and quarterly reporting). The data will be monitored and reviewed by
the NOPA supervisor, the Program Evaluator, and the Continuous Quality Improvement staff as
appropriate or needed.

Section C, II, B, 1:
The Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity (NOPA) grant employs one full time position, held by
Ms. Jasmine Sanchez, Health Educator. Ms. Tina Wegner, R.D., the Early Childhood Nutrition
Supervisor in the Community Wellness and Health Promotion Office of the Disease Control
Division supervises this Health Educator position. Ms. Sanchez has been employed by the NOPA
grant since 2015, successfully implementing the grant every year, consistently exceeding grant
deliverables. Ms. Wegner is a Registered Dietitian, therefore has expertise in nutrition and
physical activity to complement Ms. Sanchez’s role. Additionally, the NOPA grant resides in the
same office as the First Things First – Quality First Child Care Health Consultants (CCHC’s).
Maricopa County employs ten CCHC’s who have extensive expertise in many aspects of the 0-5
year old and caregiver’s populations, most notably in the health and safety topic areas. Ms. Karen
Hoffman, the Child Care Health Consultant Supervisor manages both Ms. Wegner and the Child
Care Health Consultants. Ms. Hoffman reports to the Community Wellness and Health Promotion
Office Manager, Ms. Machrina Leach. Therefore, considering the current success of the grant and
the experts located within the same office/division we are confident the NOPA grant will be
successfully delivered in fiscal year 2019 and beyond.
Section C, II, B, 2:
As noted in section C, II, B, 1 above, Ms. Sanchez, the health educator employed by the First Things
First Nutrition, Obesity, and Physical Activity Grant’s supervision is as follows:

Within the Community Wellness and Health Promotion office, there is both financial and
administrative in-kind positions who support the NOPA grant. Within the department, the Office
of Performance Improvement is where the in-kind positions of Program Evaluator and Continuous
Quality Improvement are housed.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health has a comprehensive personnel performance rating
system whereby each grant’s deliverables are translated into a personal action plan monitored by the
position’s supervisor. In addition to the grant deliverables, all employees are monitored and rated on
additional organization and job competencies including: Technical Skills, Organizational Alignment,
Fiscal Accountability, Teamwork, Customer Service, Communication, Leadership, Diversity, Personal
Effectiveness, Safety, Security and Wellness. Supervisors and employees meet formally at least twice
annually to review progress on grant deliverables and to monitor effectiveness of the implementation
of the program, however monitoring employee performance informally occurs on a daily basis.
Hundreds of training opportunities in 45 different subjects are available to all Maricopa County
employees via our comprehensive training platform “The Hub”. Examples of class topics available are
change management, ethical issues in culture, decision-making, leadership, strategic thinking, project
management, time management and writing skills among many others. The HUB is Maricopa County’s
training development and tracking tool. It is used to record of all training an employee attends.
Ms. Sanchez’s supervisor has attended many leadership courses during the 24 years she has been
supervising employees. She recently attended Maricopa County’s new Supervisory Training
including Crucial Conversations Training by VitalSmarts. The same training opportunities from
Maricopa County’s The HUB are available to all employees. Supervisors and managers develop
employee development plans annually to coordinate training opportunities to employee
performance.

Recruitment and orientation do not need to occur. This grant‘s position is currently filled by Ms.
Jasmine Sanchez who has worked the grant since 2015.
Section C, II, E.
Due to Maricopa County Department of Public Health contract with the Nutrition, Obesity, and
Physical Activity (NOPA) grant since 2015, initial developmental training opportunities have
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 21 of 185

already occurred as outlined in this grant application Section C, II, B, 2. Additionally, as mentioned
in the same section of this grant application, all Maricopa County employees have access to a
considerable number of training subjects via the County training system The HUB. Ms. Jasmine
Sanchez is the health educator employed by the NOPA grant. Currently and historically, Ms.
Sanchez has met all required training requirements, frequently seeking additional training and
networking opportunities through the First Things First Annual Summit, the Smart Start Annual
Conference, Dr. Diane Craft’s Active Play training, Color Me Healthy training, and several nutrition
and physical activity webinars. Ms. Sanchez has attended the Cooking Matters training and live
webinars strengthening the collaboration with the program. Cooking Matters curriculum was
previously used in this grant.
The expected impact on Ms. Sanchez’s work is it will allow her to stay updated and relevant in the
fields of health, nutrition, and physical activity as it relates to children ages 0-5 and their
caregivers. The education and services provided by the NOPA grant can play a significant part in
the prevention of obesity in the children of the Southwest FTF Region. The opportunities provided
to Ms. Sanchez for professional development and training align perfectly with the Standards of
Practice for the NOPA grant. As mentioned in section C, II, B, 2 of this grant application, Ms.
Sanchez has already taken the training mentioned in the Staff Standards section of the Standards
of Practice.

B. Financial Controls.
Successful applicants will be expected to follow generally accepted accounting principles and be
consistent with policies, regulations, and procedures that apply uniformly to all costs charged and
expended by their agency/organization - across all funding sources.
Describe the financial controls and accountability measures the agency/organization will employ for
the use of FTF funding for the proposed program.
Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) will use a centralized accounting system to
maintain its fiscal integrity through several levels (Program/Division/Department/County) of financial
controls and accountability measures. MCDPH's Finance and Budget process starts at the program
level, using the Maricopa County (MC) Chart of Accounts. The program accounting specialist will
conduct the program's financial processing throughout the grant period, ensuring proper account
classification and adequate documentation for all expenditures. At the Division level, MCDPH will
provide a Division Accountant -to monitor all prouariffinancial -a-ctivity an-d-ta-facilitate- Reimbursement
Request Report submissions. Then, at the Department level, the Accounts Payable/Receivable and
Procurement units will process, review, and monitor all financial requests provided by the program
accounting specialist. The MCDPH Finance Manager conducts monthly meetings with the Finance and
Budget staff to review the program budget expenditures and its projections. Finally, at the County
level, the MC Finance Department will process issuance and receipts of all payments. Throughout this
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 50 of 185

entire accounting system, based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), there are several
checks and balances. Before posting to MC's financial system, all procurement and financial
transactions undergo, at a minimum, 3 levels of reviews and approvals, to ensure fiscal compliance as
defined in provisions of the grant agreement, MC policies and guidelines and State and Federal laws
and regulations.

Section H - Program Evaluation Information
Program Evaluation
An evaluation study is a project that is conducted in order to answer questions about the services you
provide. There are several types of evaluations that can be conducted, including the following that are
most relevant in relation to program implementation:
 Process/implementation evaluation: Determines whether program activities have been
implemented as intended. This type of evaluation examines if the program is implemented
with fidelity.
 Outcome/effectiveness evaluation: Measures program effects in the target population by
assessing the progress in the outcomes or outcome objectives, which the program is supposed to
achieve. This type of evaluation examines if the program is achieving these intended
outcome(s).
Refer to the Types of Evaluation brochure created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) for additional information on program evaluations:
https://www.cdc.gov/std/Program/pupestd/Types%20of%20Evaluation.pdf
The following questions are about whether your organization has or is planning to conduct an
evaluation study (with or without funding from First Things First).
A. Has an evaluation study been conducted on your program? (e.g., process evaluation, outcome or
impact evaluation study)?  Yes XNo
If YES, include:
- One (1) copy of the evaluation report (if available) with your original application.
- A brief synopsis of the study’s specific aims and results:
B. Are you planning on having an evaluation study conducted on the program proposed in this
application?  Yes X No
If YES, please go to C. If No, stop here.
C. Will FTF funds be utilized to conduct the evaluation study?
 Yes (Yes, funds are budgeted in the line-item budget and budget narrative for an evaluation study.)
 No (No, we will be using other sources of funding for an evaluation study)
If YES, provide detailed responses to each of the following items: *, ** If No, stop here.
FTF-RC007-19-0632-00 Page 52 of 185

1. Purpose, Intended Outcomes, and Research Questions
2. Methodology and Design
3. Proposed Timeline and Party Responsible (e.g., external vendor/contractor or grant partner
program staff) to carry out the work
4. Intended Use of Findings and Dissemination Plan
* If FTF funds are being requested for an evaluation study, the study will need approval by FTF’s Research and
Evaluation team prior to implementation. Specifically, the applicant will be required to provide FTF with a
detailed summary of the work proposed (Refer to the Ownership of Intellectual Property section under the Grant
Terms and Conditions in this RFGA.) In those instances when the evaluation proposal is in its preliminary stages
and therefore lacks sufficient detail at the time of submission (e.g., Applicant is planning to get a vendor to
determine the method and design etc.), the grant partner will be required to submit a detailed study proposal
when it becomes available. This study proposal is subject to approval by FTF’s Research and Evaluation division.
** If the data collection requirements or proposed evaluation will include data from a tribal community (e.g., data
gathering in tribal lands), appropriate tribal approvals must be in place prior to commencing data collection. In
instances when tribal data approvals are necessary, FTF’s Research and Evaluation and Tribal Affairs divisions will
work with the grant partner to secure approvals from the tribe(s). (Refer to the Tribal Data Policy and the
Ownership of Intellectual Property sections under the Grant Terms and Conditions in this RFGA).
In instances when data gathering occurs in tribal lands, the applicant shall address how they will ensure a
culturally appropriate methodology (e.g., in- person interviews), and culturally responsive interaction with
participants and other stakeholders.
