About this file

This document is a Zoom chat transcript from an informational session for the Healthy Oregon Workforce Training Opportunity (HOWTO) Grant Program - Round 6, a state and local contract opportunity offered by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The HOWTO Grant Program aims to address healthcare workforce needs and improve diversity across Oregon, with approximately $9 million in funding available over the 2023-25 biennium. The grant opportunity is open to a range of eligible organizations, including nonprofits, educational institutions, and healthcare providers, to develop and implement workforce training initiatives. The informational session covered program details, application requirements, submission timelines, and question and answer periods.

The HOWTO Grant Program allows for funding requests between $3,000 and $1 million. Organizations may apply as individual entities or in partnership with others. Eligibility criteria and scoring priorities emphasize serving underrepresented populations, rural communities, and proposals demonstrating innovative approaches to healthcare workforce development. Interested parties can submit questions through the OregonBuys procurement platform, with responses to be posted publicly. The application deadline is December 2, 2024, and awards are anticipated to be announced in early 2025.
