HRSA Funding Opportunity: Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Training Program

HRSA has announced a funding opportunity for its “Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Training Program”. The purpose of this program is 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 entities include health professions schools. Thirty grants are anticipated, with a total of $68,420,000 in funding for a three year period of performance. There is also one funding opportunity, estimated at $6 million, for the Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Technical Assistance Center (HPSWRTAC) to provide tailored training and technical assistance to HRSA’s health workforce resiliency grant recipients.
