Both advisory committees support the concept which develops a system for recruitment and temporary staffing of health professionals. Seed funding in the amount of $250,000 is needed at this time, with startup funds in the amount of $1.2m over the next year. This Work Plan includes a challenge grant of up to $250,000 for this collaborative project. This funding will be provided to the project from the Energy and Water Appropriations (Base) and will include an incentive for Regional Health Corporation and other financial contributors to provide funding (challenge grant). In conclusion, this initiative cannot be funded through either the Training Program or the Health Program due to restricted funding requirements.
