Subject: HRSA MODIFIES FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT TO INCLUDE ALL ACCREDITED INTERNSHIPS-DUE DATE CHANGED TO JUNE 22
May 15, 2012
We are pleased to announce that, as a result of the many APA members in the psychology education and training community who contacted HRSA along with the efforts of APA staff, HRSA has modified the funding announcement for the Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grant Program to include all accredited internships in psychology. To accommodate the modification, HRSA has also pushed the due date for applications back a week to June 22nd and will be holding two Technical Assistance (TA) calls to assist with the application process. The TA calls will be held this Thursday, May 17th from 3:00pm to 5:00pm and next Monday, May 21st from 11:30am to 1:30pm.
The modified 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 .
The HRSA Administrator and staff were very receptive to our comments, concerns, and the additional information we provided and we are very grateful to them for making these modifications. It could not have been done without your help! We strongly urge all programs to now consider making an application for this new program so psychology can benefit from this infusion of new funding in a very tight federal fiscal environment.
