HHS awards $55.5 million to bolster Americas health care workforce
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced $55.5 million in funding awarded in FY 2013 to strengthen training for health professionals and increase the size of the nations health care workforce.
These grants and the many training programs they support have a real impact by helping to create innovative care delivery models and improving access to high-quality care, Secretary Sebelius said.
More than 270 grants will address health workforce needs in nursing, public health, behavioral health, health workforce development, and dentistry. The grants are managed by HHS Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
A majority of the funding, $45.4 million, will support nursing workforce development in the following areas:
An additional $3.1 million will help state designated dental health professional shortage areas develop and implement innovative programs to address dental workforce needs. States must match at least 40 percent of the grant funding or provide equivalent support.
These grants cover a wide spectrum of health workforce needs, said HRSA Administrator Mary K. Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N. From diversity to dentistry all are critical to achieving a skilled workforce now and in the future.

A majority of the funding, $45.4 million, will support nursing workforce development in the following areas:
- Increasing the number of nurse faculty ($22.1 million) -- provides low-interest loans to nurses to train to become faculty and loan cancellation for service as faculty.
- Improving nursing diversity ($5.2 million) -- expands educational opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including racial and ethnic minorities who are underrepresented among registered nurses.
- Increasing nurse anesthetist traineeships ($2.2 million) -- supports nurse anesthetist programs to provide traineeships to licensed registered nurses enrolled as full-time students in a masters or doctoral nurse anesthesia program.
- Promoting interprofessional collaborative practice ($6.7 million) -- brings together interprofessional teams of nurses and other health professionals to develop and implement innovative practice models for providing care.
- Supporting advanced nursing education ($9.2 million) -- funds advanced nursing programs that support registered nurses in becoming nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and other practice nurses.
An additional $3.1 million will help state designated dental health professional shortage areas develop and implement innovative programs to address dental workforce needs. States must match at least 40 percent of the grant funding or provide equivalent support.
