Mississippi is seeking qualified providers to deliver tobacco cessation and community outreach services. The primary aim is to address tobacco use, which remains a leading cause of preventable illness in the state, particularly in river regions where tobacco-related disparities are most pronounced.

Providers will engage communities directly by collaborating with trusted local leaders, organizations, and stakeholders. Emphasis will be placed on building sustainable relationships, increasing awareness of cessation resources like the quitline, and ensuring support services are easily accessible within the environments where residents live, work, and gather. Providers must be prepared to address questions related to the opportunity by February 19, 2026.

This initiative is ideal for organizations experienced in health promotion, grassroots community outreach, and public health partnerships focused on reducing tobacco use.
