You will find the links provided below to the application for the workgroups, criteria for each workgroup and the expectations for workgroup members.

• Health Information Technology, Data, and Quality Measures: Criteria and Application
• Workforce Development: Criteria and Application
• Population Health and Consumer Engagement: Criteria and Application
• Service Delivery and Practice Transformation: Criteria and Application

Applications for each Workgroup will be accepted through close of business, Friday April 10, 2015. All applications should be submitted to gov_simgrant@state.co.us.

Applications are also being accepted for the SIM Advisory Board. The SIM Advisory Board shall provide advice, oversight, and guidance over the operation of the SIM office. The SIM Advisory Board will also provide recommendations about how to better integrate behavioral health and physical health care in Colorado. Interested applicants should apply for the SIM Advisory Board  by April 10, 2015 and appointments to the Board will be designated by the Governor's Office.” [Source: Colorado SIM]
