Bureau of Health Workforce Grants Resource Center

The Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) improves the health of underserved and vulnerable populations by strengthening the health workforce and connecting skilled professionals to communities in need. 

Health Professions Training Grants to Support Institutions
We support the development of a robust primary care workforce through Health Professions Training Grants that:

• encourage clinicians to practice in underserved areas, including rural areas with limited access to care,
• increase diversity, and 
• foster interprofessional training and practice.
• These programs advance the education and training of a 21st century health workforce and work to address existing and projected demand for skilled health professionals in high-need areas nationwide. Evidence shows that targeting rural students to go into health professions or exposing them to rural practice can increase their likelihood of practicing in a rural community.

We provide several resources and training materials on health topics related to BHW grants.
