In 2021, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health in Maricopa County, Arizona, modified its subcontracting process to engage more community-based organizations that serve populations disproportionately affected by COVID-19. The change allowed subrecipients to receive 40% of grant funding up front. An evaluation found that providing up-front funding engaged smaller-budget organizations. However, factors such as administrative requirements and formal policies associated with government partnerships limited the perceived benefits of up-front funding. These findings are relevant for entities seeking to improve access to federal funding. (. 2024;114(S7):S562-S565. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307740).
2021 年，亚利桑那州马里科帕县公共卫生部修改了其分包合同流程，以更多地与服务于受 COVID-19 影响不成比例的人群的社区组织合作。这一变化允许次级受援方提前获得 40%的赠款资金。一项评估发现，提供预付款使预算较小的组织参与进来。然而，与政府伙伴关系相关的行政要求和正式政策等因素限制了预付款的预期效益。这些发现对于寻求改善获得联邦资金机会的实体具有相关性。（2024 年；114（S7）：S562-S565。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307740）。
