The U.S. Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council awarded a $6,284,685 Project Grant under the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Oil Spill Impact Program (CFDA 87.052) to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Through a sub-award to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC), the project will support workforce training efforts in high-demand health professions, including respiratory therapy and EMT/paramedic, for the Gulf Coast region. The project will involve renovating an MGCCC facility to establish a Health Professions Center of Excellence that will provide a learning environment for academic, healthcare, and industry partners to address workforce needs. This funding is part of the Council's efforts to restore and protect the natural resources, ecosystems, and economies of the Gulf Coast region following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
