The DDPC is announcing the availability of funding to launch four demonstration grants, up to $50,250 per grant for 15 months to pilot, evaluate, and infuse a training curriculum entitled “Partners in Health Education for People with Disabilities,” (PHEPD) into two existing Nurse Practitioner (NP) and two Physician Assistant (PA) Training Programs.
• The initial 3 months of the 15-month grant cycle will focus on program planning and development while the remaining 12 months will be spent on implementation and evaluation.
• Based on the success of the initial 15 months of the project and available appropriations, grant funding for $40,250 per grant per year may be available for two subsequent 12-month cycles.
• The PHEPD training curriculum is designed to build capacity, educate, and empower NPs and PAs to deliver quality health care to people with developmental disabilities.
Additionally, one Technical Assistance and Evaluation Grant for up to $50,250 for 15 months will be awarded to evaluate and provide technical assistance to the selected grantees who will be implementing the “Partners in Health Education for People with Disabilities” curriculum.
• Based upon the success of the initial 15 months of the project and available appropriations, grant funding for $40,250 per year, and may be available for two subsequent 12-month cycles.
• DDPC funds will support one evaluation grant to assess implementation and piloting of the training initiative for nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The goal is to demonstrate the most effective approaches and curriculum components and to institutionalize these training components within Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistant Training programs within New York State.
