About this opportunity

Project 1 Title: Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Applied Research and Practice Training Program Strategic Priority Area(s): Increase the capability of the existing workforce, strengthen systems and capacity to support the workforce. Eligibility: The applicant should have knowledge of and partnerships with public health education providers. Description: Formal training in public health occurs through the nations college and university system, is often expensive and can only reach small portions of the population at any given time because of enrollment limitations. Informal training or targeted training on specific practices like PPE use or contract tracing has increased to respond to demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. Need for Project: Creating a structure around already available on-line, public courses is the first step towards ensuring appropriate knowledge is available for dissemination. Developing a certification training program as a next step can provide the education and preparation to help improve our nations understanding of PHEPR, perhaps leading to improved capacity to and engagement in response and shaping the future of the workforce to support response. Finally, making the public aware of the need for and availability of these trainings, and supporting the tracking of their use, is the final step in creating an innovative approach via a publicly available, multi-certificate public health emergency preparedness and response training program to merge academia and practice. Target Population: The target population is the general public, public health practitioners, healthcare students. Key Activities: The recipient is expected to accomplish the following activities: • Develop at least five certificates with supporting curricula, as determined by subject matter experts (SMEs), in PHEPR specific areas ( applied research and management, community resilience), based on the adult education model with a focus on public health. • In close partnership with SMEs, determine the goal of each certification including the courses and the number of hours that can fulfill the goal ( seven courses for fifteen hours to obtain the certificate). Each certification should include an introduction to PHEPR and at least one course on PHEPR science. Some of the certifications should be targeted to the general public and others should be targeted to public health or related practitioners. • Collaborate with CDC TRAIN, schools of public health, or other sources to populate the curriculum with pre-existing courses for little to no cost. If a course or courses deemed significant are not available in the public forum, the recipient shall work with CDC to determine if a course can be developed or provided by an external partner or academic institution. • Create a certificate portal on CDC TRAIN or a similar platform. Ensure the training program is widely available for the general public through dissemination efforts; ensure proper enrollment of participants; and develop and pilot a process to track participants; and evaluate the overall effectiveness of the training program. Outcomes: The purpose of this WIP is to leverage existing resources to expand public health training by rapidly creating a publicly, widely disseminated, multi-certificate public health emergency preparedness and response applied research and practice training program. The training program should include courses that can be used and applied in a local context and result in knowledge gained which advances the workforce in public health recovery. The program should emphasize the science base of public health, describe scientific principles, and encourage further development of knowledge as a natural extension of public health practice.
