Information
Purpose:
The purpose of this SFP is to expand and develop career education, pre-apprenticeships, and apprenticeships that recruit, train, and employ allied health occupations prioritizing the inclusion of adults from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds. In addition, target current healthcare workers limited in advancement opportunities due to age, or other factors.
Description:
The AHP PY 24-25 grant will fund projects that support and increase access to allied health occupations by providing training and certification and leading to participants’ employment and career advancement opportunities within the allied health sector. The grantee will utilize their existing infrastructure and demonstrated program success to identify and facilitate programs that serve participants throughout the grant’s period of performance.
The program intends to establish an accessible healthcare pipeline for individuals interested in pursuing a healthcare-related advanced training program, with the goal of achieving sustained employment and advancement within the Allied Health sector. As a result, applicants must demonstrate their ability and capacity to establish and/or expand apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs that are sustainable beyond this funding opportunity.
Applicants must demonstrate the ability to leverage resources from other sources to support the goals and objectives of this grant. This grant requires that leveraged resources are the equivalent of 20% of the grant award amount. Applicants are encouraged to braid funds, leverage human capital, and utilize other resources to maximize the success of the project. Leveraged resources can come from a variety of sources.
Successful applicants will develop a team composed of at minimum one of the following required partners:
