Urgent Funding Alert to the Psychology Education and Training Community:
We wanted to alert you that the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has announced the opening of the application process for the Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grant Program. This new grant program is authorized in Sec. 756 of the recent healthcare reform law and is funded by already appropriated Fiscal Year 2012 funds. Applications are due by June 15th.
The program aims to increase the number of psychologists and social workers who pursue clinical work with high need and high demand populations. For this funding opportunity, high need and high demand refers to rural, vulnerable, and/or underserved populations, and veterans, military personnel and their families. The Funding for this announcement is provided through the Affordable Care Act's Prevention and Public Health Fund (Section 4002 (42 U.S.C. 300 u-11).
The specific goal of the program is to strengthen the clinical field competencies of psychologists and social workers who pursue clinical service with high need and high demand populations. This program recognizes the high need and high demand experienced by military personnel and veterans, as well as the impact of war and deployment on their families.
The grant announcement and application is available on the HRSA website at: https://grants.hrsa.gov/webExternal/FundingOppDetails.asp?FundingCycleId=4ADFE828-290C-46A0-88CF-3A0D6F5BC827&ViewMode=EU&GoBack=&PrintMode=&OnlineAvailabilityFlag=&pageNumber=&version=&NC=&Popup=
