The goal of the AETC Telehealth Training Centers Program (TTCP) is to expand access to and improve healthcare and health outcomes for hard-to-reach, HIV-positive persons in medical care residing in historically underserved communities.  The efforts of the TTCP will enhance the capacity of health care providers engaged in HIV/AIDS health care delivery systems within a region or state through the utilization of telehealth technology for:

Health Resources & Services Administration - ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals Program

Short turnaround time – the limited submission requirement was not in the standard eligibility section and we apologize for missing this key requirement.

Description

This funding opportunity is one of many for the Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) program, hereby known as EETHP Equipment Initiative. Twenty-one health professional training programs comprise this initiative. As defined by this program, a Health Professional Training Program is a program authorized under Titles III, VII and VIII of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act which focuses all or in part on the training of health professionals. HRSA is announcing the availability of funds to support multiple programs in the purchase of health professions training equipment. While the overall goals of the EETHP Equipment Initiative are the same for each program, applicants must satisfy the statutory requirements of the health professions training program under which they are applying for equipment. Accordingly, a different funding announcement is being offered for each of the eligible programs that comprise the Initiative. This funding opportunity is for entities eligible for the EETHP-HCOP grant program only.

Additional information and guidelines for each of the Equipment Initiative Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs): http://www.hrsa.gov/grants/default.htm

Closing Date: Two-phase submission process as described below.

Phase 1: Applicants will enter Grants.gov and complete the Standard form SF-424 R&R [SF424 Cover Page] and the HHS Checklist. These must be completed and successfully submitted via Grants.gov by 8:00 PM ET on March 26, 2010.

Phase 2: After completing the Grants.gov portion of the application process, applicants will enter HRSA’s Electronic Handbook (EHB) and complete the supplemental information [proposal narrative], which must be submitted via HRSA’s EHBs by 5:00 PM ET on April 26, 2010.

Please Note: Applicants can only begin Phase 2 in HRSA’s EHBs after Phase 1 in Grants.gov has been completed by the required due date, and HRSA has assigned the application a tracking number. You will be notified by email when your application is ready within HRSA’s EHBs for Phase 2. This email notification will be sent within 7 - 10 business days of the Phase 1 submission. Refer to section 4 of the HRSA Electronic Submission Guide for more details.

Each application must be submitted separately through Grants.gov and must be submitted using the unique announcement number found on that specific program guidance.

Institutional Limit: Because HRSA allows multiple applications per institution across the equipment funding opportunities but limits an institution to one application per individual FOA, UK has established an internal coordination and selection process. Applicants interested in responding to this program should send a pre-proposal with the following information to the Office of the Vice President for Research at vpr@email.uky.edu and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Tuesday, March 23, 2010:

1. Title of the Program/HRSA Funding Opportunity Announcement number
2. Name and department of the Project Director
3. Brief abstract (1 page maximum) of the requested equipment and training program and trainee population (e.g., discipline, education level, underrepresentation in the discipline) to be supported. Describe briefly how the equipment will be used and where it will be housed.
4. Previous equipment support awarded through external funding to the training program

A committee will be convened to review the pre-proposals and make a recommendation. The selected applicants will be notified in time to complete the Phase 1 process.

Because the EETHP also requires all applicants to disclose all equipment requested through the concurrent EEHTP funding opportunities, selected applicants will also be provided a list of all of the FOAs under this Equipment Initiative that will have submissions from UK and the specific equipment being requested for each one in time for the April 26 deadline.

Questions about the submission process may be sent to Ms. Annette Evans in the Office of the Vice President for Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu or 257-1663.)

Health Resources and Services Administration - Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students

The Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) Program was established via the Disadvantaged Minority Health Improvement Act of 1990, Section 737 of the Public Health Service Act.  The purpose of the SDS Program is to increase diversity in the health professions and nursing workforce by providing grants to eligible health professions and nursing schools for use in awarding scholarships to financially needy students from disadvantaged backgrounds.  Many of these students are from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds and will help diversify the health workforce to ensure culturally effective care and reduce health disparities.

The SDS Program tackles a major barrier to disadvantaged students’ access to health professions education -- namely, high tuition costs.  Education is often interrupted due to the lack of funds, so scholarship awards may allow students to complete their education sooner without interruption.  The SDS Program gives funding priority to health professions and nursing schools with:  1) enrollment of underrepresented minorities above the national average; 2) at least 50% of graduates practicing in primary care; and 3) at least 10 % of graduates working in medically underserved communities.

Health Resources & Services Administration -Telehealth Network Grant Program (HRSA 12-092)

Description This announcement solicits applications for the Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP).The primary objective of the TNGP is to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can improve access to quality health care services in rural and underserved communities.

Grants made under this authority will demonstrate how telehealth networks improve healthcare services for medically underserved populations in urban, rural, and frontier communities.TNGP networks are used to: (a) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of health care services; (b) improve and expand the training of health care providers; and/or (c) expand and improve the quality of health information available to health care providers, and patients and their families, for decisionmaking.However, as noted below, because of legislative restrictions, grants will be limited to programs that serve rural communities, although grantees may be located in urban or rural areas. Applicants may apply for the TNGP in one of two areas: 1) Telehealth Networks (TNGP-TH) – grants for the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health, and health administration. 2) Telehomecare Networks (TNGP-THC) – grants to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of remote vital sign monitoring of individual patients and the delivery of healthcare services to individuals in their place of residence by a healthcare provider using telecommunications technologies to exchange healthcare information over a distance. A “place of residence” is broadly defined to include assisted living facilities and other congregate arrangements where people live.
