Subject: HRSA FUNDING ALERT FOLLOW-UP REGARDING ELIGIBILITY FOR THE MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND TRAINING GRANT PROGRAM
We at APA have received a number of questions regarding the eligibility requirements for the new Mental and Behavioral Health Education and Training Grant Program.
We have been in contact with staff at HRSA and asked for clarification. We received this response from them:
Eligibles are IHEs (Institutions of Higher Education) in psychology and social work. These IHEs are strongly encouraged to work with and influence APA accredited internships (independent, in med schools etc) to build more slots to accommodate the trainees who receive funding through the IHE.
We have since requested flexibility to allow internships to directly apply and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
Best,
Regards
