About this file

The document is a Zoom chat transcript from an information session for the Healthy Oregon Workforce Training Opportunity (HOWTO) Grant Program - Round 6, which is a state contract opportunity funded by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) with a total budget of approximately $9 million over the 2023-2025 biennium. The grant program aims to develop a healthcare workforce that meets the needs of all Oregonians and reflects the communities being served. The transcript covers details such as eligible applicants, funding uses, application requirements, and clarification on contract terms and reporting.

The grant program allows for funding of workforce development activities, including training, education, and employee retention efforts, for healthcare organizations across the state of Oregon, with a focus on Benton County. Eligible applicants may include educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and healthcare providers. Applicants can request funding under $1 million, and the program allows for supplementing existing workforce development activities as well as supporting new initiatives. The transcript indicates the grant program has specific requirements around funding use, matching, reporting, and outcomes that applicants should be aware of.

12:27:38From Betcher, Gina : This is very generous, the opportunity
12:29:54From Dara Shifrer (she/her) PSU : I also could only stay 1/2 hour and would love a recording -

thanks so much!

12:32:35From Brandy : The Budget table can we add fields?
12:35:56From Brandy : Thank you
12:36:45From April Roa (she/her) : April Roa, Portland Street Response. I would love the recording as

well.

12:36:58From Brandy : do you like bullet points?
12:40:36From Nikki Willis : Do we need to use any particular formatting model (i.e. APA)?
12:48:05From Rachel Alford (she/her) : Would that include other funders for the project?
12:48:12From Andre Miller-Policy Analyst, City of Portland (He/Him) : Seeing the types of awardees, as a

government entity managing two city programs focused on responding to mental and behavioral health crises, substance use, and low-acuity medical issues, would you recommend submitting a combined application if the total request is under one million dollars, or would it be better to apply for one program in the range of $300,000?

12:48:21 From Ashleigh.Flynn : In lieu of letters of commitment, what about existing MOUs? What if entity isn't a subcontractor/will not be receiving any of grant funds?

12:48:58 From Brandy : If I am working with well over 20 clinical sites do I need a letter for each or just a handful.

12:49:07 From Rachael Hale - Wallace Medical Concern : We are a FQHC and have assistant level staff members who would like to advance their careers by attending nursing or hygienist school. What would happen if the grant was awarded but the employee was unable to get into placement with the school?

12:51:21 From Brianne "Breezie" DeYoung (she/her) : If funds are in hopes of improving electronic health record management, implementing AI features for documentation, etc. for retention efforts - would that require a letter of commitment from a potential EHR or AI company? Or are these letters just for people who are going to be partnering with my organization and receiving funds? I think I'm struggling with the definition of "partnership" 12:52:28 From Andy Friedman : What are restrictions on funding of existing workforce development activity - to what extent are these funds required to be used for new programs vs funding to lengthen the duration of existing programs?

12:53:41 From Andrea Swiedom : How is OHA scoring on budget requests versus overall project budget?

For example, if an org hasn’t identified other sources of funding to cover the remaining amount of the project after the HOWTO funds, will that negatively impact the score?

12:54:53 From Andrea Swiedom : Also, can we show pending/planned to submit funds for total project revenue?

13:01:45 From Rachael Hale - Wallace Medical Concern : If we have staff that are interested in going back to school, meaning they drop from FT to PT can we supplement their salary to help pay for childcare? And are we able to hire replacement employees with the funding to cover gaps in patient service while our employees attend school?

13:02:05From Andrea Swiedom : Who will be serving on the evaluation committee?
13:03:46From Betcher, Gina : Reacted to "In lieu of letters o..." with
13:04:08From Riikka Salonen : Can funds be used for incumbent training in healthcare organizations?
13:06:14From Andrea Swiedom : Can another OHA grant be used towards the project budget?
13:07:15From Riikka Salonen : Does there need to be matching grants?
13:07:19From Rachel Cardwell, Central Oregon : Can this be close out funding, if an eligible project has

started with other sources but could utilize HOWTO funding to complete?

13:08:39 From Riikka Salonen : Is the new employment of the healthcare trainees required within the grant timeline?

13:09:37From Brandy : If aware is given what is the ongoing reporting requirement.
13:11:52From Rachel Alford (she/her) : Thank you!
13:12:13From Sarah Groshell she/her LCSNW : Thank you!
13:12:14From Danielle Russell (YCCO) : Thank you!
