CCF Launches $500,000 National Grant Initiative for Student & Staff Longevity Health in U.S. Colleges & Universities
For colleges and universities ready to help faculty, staff, and students understand their health numbers and track them over time.
Application Deadline: November 15, 2026
Program Overview
The Campus Consortium Foundation (CCF) has launched a $500,000 National Grant Initiative to support U.S. educational institutions seeking to give their campus community a clearer, more useful view of their own health: from annual physicals and employee wellness screenings, to student health services, to everyday health literacy.
To help campuses support preventive health, Grants are awarded as in-kind program support. Participants upload blood test reports they already have, and the program turns them into plain-language summaries, trends over time, and notes to bring to their doctor. It is not a diagnosis or treatment. It helps people ask better questions of their own doctors.
Individual award amounts will be determined based on institutional scope, readiness, and strategic alignment. Participation is voluntary for adults 18 and older, and each person controls their own health data.
Why This Matters
Many faculty, staff, and students already get blood work through annual physicals, campus health services, or employer wellness screenings. Most see a page of numbers, file it away, and do not look at it again until the next test.
Faculty, staff, and students increasingly need to be able to:
- Understand what their results mean
- See how their numbers change from year to year
- Ask better questions at doctor visits
- Make informed choices about food, exercise, and sleep
- Keep their health records in one place
- Take ownership of their long-term health
This grant gives institutions a simple way to help their campus community understand and track its own health.
Who Should Apply
Open to U.S. higher education institutions, including:
- Community colleges
- Public and private colleges and universities
- Career, technical, and workforce education programs
- Medical, nursing, and allied health schools
- Institutions that already run employee wellness or student health programs
| Faculty & Staff | Students |
Who participates | Faculty, administrative, and support staff | Students 18 and older |
Where it fits | Employee wellness programs, benefits enrollment, HR and professional development | Student health services, campus wellness programming, health and nutrition courses |
Participation works best for adults who have a recent blood test report, so faculty and staff are the strongest fit. Students 18 and older are welcome where they have recent results.
Limited grants available. Application deadline: November 15, 2026.
