The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will offer noncompetitive program expansion supplements of $100,000 to 10 Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide (NAHHA) Program grantees to develop, implement, and evaluate enhanced training programs to build competency in medication administration and management, care coordination and follow up, and behavioral health and social support for home health aides. Approximately $1,000,000 is available in fiscal year (FY) 2012. The NAHHA grantees have the capability, expertise, experience and infrastructure to expeditiously and effectively implement this enhanced training program. Their existing curricular efforts have built-in opportunities to offer continuing/expanded training, and these skills represent ones that have been identified by program participants and employers as highly desirable areas for training.
