AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department
of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Announcement of Supplemental Award.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA provided supplemental grant funds to a currently funded
National Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement (NCA)
award recipient to coordinate and provide training and technical
assistance (T/TA) to health centers that serve migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers (MSAW) and their families through three regional
forums.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recipient of the Award: The National Center for Farmworker Health,
Inc.
Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: $150,000.
Period of Supplemental Funding: Fiscal years 2018 and 2019
(contingent upon available funding and satisfactory performance).
CFDA Number: 93.129.
Authority: Section 330(l) of the Public Health Service Act, as
amended.
JUSTIFICATION: The award recipient will lead the coordination and
management of three regional Migrant Stream Forums to provide T/TA
addressing the critical health needs of MSAW in alignment with HRSA
priorities. T/TA provided at the Migrant Stream Forums is targeted to a
broad range of health center staff positions, and covers diverse topics
that address the needs of migrant health centers and the patients they
serve. Supplemental funds are necessary to support their timely and
successful implementation.
This supplemental funding will augment the current NCA investment
for these T/TA opportunities through support of enhanced personnel
presence, the availability of continuing education unit-bearing
educational sessions to meet the diverse needs of multidisciplinary
health center staff, and speaker and participant stipends that
underscore the unique value these in-person regional T/TA sessions
provide.
