SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award: Association of Clinicians for the
Underserved, Inc.
Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $275,000.
Period of Supplemental Funding: August 2021 to June 2023.
ALN: 93.129.
Authority: Section 330(l) of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 254b(l).
Justification: The National Center for Health Workforce Analysis
estimates a shortage of over 23,000 primary care physician positions by
2025. Recruitment and retention programs are needed for health centers
to address health care workforce shortages, which limit their ability
to deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, high quality primary
health care services.
ACU has unique experience developing learning collaboratives and
can leverage their Solutions, Training, and Assistance for Recruitment
and Retention Center and the Health Center Recruitment & Retention Data
Profile Dashboard to advance in-scope training and technical assistance
activities focused on enhancing health centers' ability to recruit,
retain, and upskill their workforce. Supplemental funding is critical
to ensure the timely expansion of the Solutions, Training, and
Assistance for Recruitment and Retention Center and dashboard
activities that enable health centers to conduct workforce data
analysis, develop strategic plans, and enhance recruitment processes to
attract and retain providers. ACU has the organizational capacity,
expertise, and partnerships with Primary Care Associations, Health
Center Controlled Networks, and other National Training and Technical
Assistance Partners in place to immediately disseminate resources,
tools, and strategies to improve workforce shortages at health centers.
Diana Espinosa,
Acting Administrator.
