Grants were given to collaborating organizations in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St Paul, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Francisco. In these communities, immigrant groups, media makers, and prominent community institutions worked together to produce original health-related content. Grantee teams created a wide range of media, including television and radio features, radio novelas, first person narratives, live theater, print materials, and Internet and social marketing campaigns. Partners included community institutions such as colleges and universities, television and radio stations, an advertising agency and a museum.
