About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary funds health professional training and curriculum development addressing bioterrorism, chemical and explosive agents, natural disasters, and public health emergencies under CFDA 93.996, with the most recent grant award dated November 1, 2007.
This program is no longer active for new awards. The portfolio shows 104 total federal grants spanning from 2003 to 2007, with award activity declining sharply in the final years: 58 awards in 2003, 45 in 2005, and only 1 in 2007. Combined federal dollars obligated total $71.4 million. The Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary accounted for 98 awards representing the full $71.4 million obligated; six additional awards from the Health Resources and Services Administration carried zero dollars obligated.
The program funds two distinct tracks: continuing education for practicing healthcare providers and curriculum development in health professions schools. Training focuses on enabling healthcare workers to recognize terrorist events, provide acute care to patients including pediatric and vulnerable populations in safe manner, participate in coordinated multidisciplinary emergency response, and alert public health systems. The program addresses emergency preparedness spanning chemical, explosive, incendiary, and nuclear agents, natural disasters, and catastrophic accidents, with explicit attention to surge capacity and collaboration among allied health professionals, medical and dental specialists, nurses, pharmacists, mental health professionals, and emergency response systems.
Funding was distributed predominantly as Project Grants (69 percent of awards) with a substantial Block Grant component (31 percent). Typical Project Grant awards ranged from roughly $100 thousand to $1.5 million; representative 2005 awards included $1.5 million for bioterrorism training curriculum development and $1.4 million for continuing education initiatives. Block Grants typically obligated between $1 million and $1.45 million per award. A final transfer-of-funds Project Grant obligated $1.476 million in November 2007.
No active grant opportunities are currently open. No new solicitation activity has been posted since 2007.
Objective and description
- Objective
To develop a health care workforce with the knowledge, skills, abilities and core competencies to: (1) recognize indications of a terrorist event; (2) meet the acute care needs of patients, including pediatric and other vulnerable populations, in a safe and appropriate manner; (3) participate in a coordinated, multidisciplinary response to terrorist events and other public health emergencies, and include consideration of surge capacity issues; and (4) rapidly and effectively alert the public health system of such an event at the community, State, and national level. Emergency preparedness and response issues include other forms of terrorism (such as the use of chemical, explosive, incendiary or nuclear agents against civilian populations), natural disasters and catastrophic accidents. Effective responses to public health emergencies require close collaboration among all types of health professionals involved in patient care including allied health professionals, medical and dental specialists, nurses, pharmacists, mental health and other professionals, the public health system, and the emergency response system. To achieve such a collaborative environment, it will be necessary to implement new and enhanced models of undergraduate/graduate curricula and continuing education and training for health professionals. The Bioterrorism Training and Curriculum Development Program (BTCDP) consists of two discrete foci of activity: 1) Provision of Continuing Education for Practicing Providers (CE); and 2) Curriculum Development in Health Professions Schools (CD). Each of the categories above must have a distinct and separate application.
