Grant Funds Available to Health Care Providers to Strengthen Workforce

The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) reminds entities that provide health care that American Rescue Plan Act grant funding is available through the Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Training Program.

As described by HRSA, these grant funds can be used to plan, develop, operate or participate in health professions and nursing training activities using evidence-based or evidence-informed strategies, to reduce and address burnout, suicide, mental health conditions and substance use disorders and promote resiliency among health care students, residents, professionals, paraprofessionals, trainees, public safety officers, and employers of such individuals, collectively known as the Health Workforce, in rural and underserved communities.

Eligible applicants include entities that provide health care, including health care providers associations and Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Applications will be accepted through August 30, 2021.
