Opportunity Summary:
The Public Health Traineeship grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-201) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help address critical workforce shortages in key public health disciplines. Its main purpose is to provide financial support for traineeships for students enrolled in graduate-level public health education and specialized public health training programs. The program targets areas where the need for trained professionals is especially severe, with examples that include biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, toxicology, nutrition, and maternal and child health. In practice, the funding is meant to strengthen the pipeline of well-trained public health professionals by helping eligible institutions offset the cost of training graduate students in these high-need fields.
Eligible applicants are accredited schools and programs of public health as well as other public or nonprofit private educational entities that meet specific accreditation requirements. This includes faith-based and community-based organizations when they are public or nonprofit private educational entities and are properly accredited. Accreditation must be through the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) for schools and programs of public health, or through another accrediting body recognized by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education for other qualifying institutions. The opportunity is structured so that institutions apply for grant funding and then use those funds to support traineeships for qualifying students, rather than students applying directly to HRSA under this announcement.
Trainee eligibility is clearly defined. Students supported through these traineeships must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or foreign nationals who hold a visa that permits permanent residence in the United States. In addition, trainees must be pursuing a graduate degree at an accredited school of public health or another eligible accredited institution. Where awards are made using a formula approach, trainees must also meet both the admissions requirements described in the institution's approved grant application and the standard admissions requirements of the institution itself. These requirements are intended to ensure that funds support students who are legitimately enrolled, academically qualified, and positioned to complete training in shortage areas.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making about 22 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding level of $1,289,740. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.964 under the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) Public Health Traineeships. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The announcement was posted on March 6, 2009, with an application deadline of April 20, 2009, and it was later archived on July 31, 2009. While these dates indicate the specific historical competition cycle reflected in the notice you provided, the underlying program description shows the federal intent to invest in graduate public health training capacity where workforce gaps are most acute.
For access and technical help, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center, including support for applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically or had trouble opening the funding link. The additional information link provided in the notice points to HRSA's grants site where the full solicitation materials, detailed requirements, and submission instructions were hosted for that funding cycle.
