The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded the Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing four grants totaling more than $11.8 million for work in health delivery and training programs for underserved areas of Atlanta, the state of Georgia and the Southeast.

The grants will advance the public health workforce in the Atlanta area, establish a mobile health presence in South Georgia and Atlanta, increase the numbers of clinical nursing faculty and preceptors in the Southeast, and prepare students and practicing nurses to advance culturally sensitive acute care in Atlanta communities.

The projects will be part of the community programming work of the School of Nursing’s Lillian Carter Center for Global Health and Social Responsibility, charged with helping improve the health of vulnerable people worldwide through nursing education, research, practice and policy.

“The community is where much of care happens, and this funding will play a tremendous role in preparing our future nurse leaders to serve communities,” says Linda McCauley, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of the School of Nursing. “We have a responsibility to be part of the solution of making sure every individual has access to care, and we are grateful for such a breadth and depth of funding to bolster this work.”

Supporting the community health workforce

A $3 million, three-year HRSA grant will create the Atlanta Region Community Health Workforce Advancement (ARCHWAy) program, which aims to expand and support the work of community health workers (CHW) including health educators, community organizers, capacity builders and care delivery team members.

In a recent health care ranking of the nation’s top 20 cities, Atlanta ranked second to last for health cost, quality and access. Meanwhile, Atlanta is the eighth largest metropolitan statistical area in the nation but is not among the 10 metro areas with the highest CHW employment, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The program will address these challenges by providing a 12-week training program for new and existing CHWs, coupled with recruitment and retention initiatives such as field placements, tuition support/stipends, job placement and wrap-around services including early care and education, financial literacy support and mentoring. The training will feature simulated experiences and hands-on learning involving topics such as patient advocacy, community outreach, service coordination, health promotion, emergency response, and heart disease, stroke and HIV prevention and treatment.

Beth Ann Swan, PhD, RN, FAAN, associate dean and vice president for academic practice partnerships at the School of Nursing, received the grant and will be directing the program. This program is supported by HRSA as part of an award totaling $3 million with 0.05 percent financed with non-governmental sources.

Making health care mobile

Mobile health benefiting underserved communities is the focus of the more than $3.9 million, four-year “Nurse Education, Practice Quality and Retention - Mobile Health Training Program” grant.

With the funding, the School of Nursing will establish the Emory in MOTION mobile health program, which will provide two nurse-led mobile health units serving South Georgia and the Atlanta area and allow Emory nursing students from diverse backgrounds to gain clinical experience while providing care on the units.

Emory in MOTION will work with the Ellenton Migrant Farmworker Clinic, a long-standing clinical partner in Moultrie, Georgia, to purchase and staff a nurse-led mobile health van providing care to the area’s migrant farm workers. In Atlanta, Emory in MOTION will work with several partners to establish nurse-led teams providing mobile care to communities in need. Partnering organizations include Boat People SOS, Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition, the Mexican Consulate, the DeKalb County Board of Health and the Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale district public health departments.

The grant was awarded to assistant professorsQuyen Phan, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC; Erin Ferranti, PhD, MPH, RN, FAHA; and Roxana Chicas, PhD, RN; and Laura Kimble, PhD, RN, FNP-C, FAHA, FAAN, professor and associate dean for academic operations. This program is supported by HRSA as part of an award totaling $3,908,760 with no percentage financed with non-governmental sources.

Increasing clinical faculty, preceptors

Like all professionals, nurses benefit from insight and guidance from experienced colleagues as they start their careers. That reality is the heart of a four-year, more than $3.9 million grant that will recruit and train nurses to be clinical nursing faculty and preceptors in the Southeast.

Clinical nursing faculty teach and evaluate nursing students during their on-site training in hospitals and other clinical settings, and preceptors are experienced, licensed nurses who supervise students during clinical rotations.

The HRSA grant will create the Clinical Instructor and Preceptor Excellence in the Southeast (CAPES) Academy, which will prepare 128 nurses to serve as clinical nursing faculty and preceptors to newly hired licensed nurses for a variety of care settings in health professional shortage areas in eight states in the Southeast.

The academy will create and implement a training curriculum, provide services to facilitate clinical faculty and preceptor success, financially support clinical faculty and preceptors to promote retention, place newly trained clinical faculty and preceptors with employment opportunities, and enhance or create new academic-clinical partnerships.

The CAPES Academy is designed to increase the capacity of the nursing workforce, as the increase in nurse educators will enable nursing schools to enroll more students and prepare more nurses.

The program will be directed by Quyen Phan, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, assistant professor in the School of Nursing. This program is supported by HRSA as part of an award totaling $3,923,317 with no percentage financed with non-governmental sources.

Strengthening culturally sensitive acute care

A nearly $1 million, three-year grant will create “Toward Health Equity and Literacy: Training for Optimal RN Efficacy in Acute Care” (2HEAL) — a program to increase the number of undergraduate nursing students trained in acute care settings to address and manage social determinants of health.

Social determinants of health are conditions in the places where people live, learn, work and play that affect health and quality of life.

Through 2HEAL, approximately 135 bachelor of science in nursing students from diverse backgrounds will take part in hands-on learning, simulation scenarios with manikins and patient-actors, and training alongside community partners that serve marginalized populations — all to strengthen students’ capacity for high-quality, culturally sensitive care in acute care settings, where patients receive active but short-term care for severe injury or illness.

The School of Nursing is one of the first nursing schools in the U.S. to systematically integrate social determinants of health across its curricula. 2HEAL will build upon that momentum, expanding how students address social determinants of health in clinical training and bolstering student insight into health equity and health literacy for underserved populations in metro Atlanta.

The program will also partner with Emory Healthcare to deliver professional development learning modules as part of its registered nurse preparation.

The grant recipient is Roxana Chicas, PhD, RN, assistant professor in the School of Nursing. This program is supported by HRSA as part of an award totaling $945,776 with no percentage financed with non-governmental sources.

美国卫生与公众服务部卫生资源与服务管理局(HRSA)向埃默里大学内尔-霍奇森-伍德拉夫护理学院提供了四笔总额超过1180万美元的拨款，用于为亚特兰大、佐治亚州和东南部服务不足的地区提供卫生服务和培训计划。

这些赠款将推动亚特兰大地区公共卫生队伍的发展，在南乔治亚州和亚特兰大建立流动医疗机构，增加东南地区的临床护理教师和验收员的数量，并为学生和执业护士在亚特兰大社区推进文化敏感的急性护理做准备。

这些项目将是护理学院莉莲-卡特全球健康和社会责任中心的社区计划工作的一部分，该中心负责通过护理教育、研究、实践和政策帮助改善全世界弱势人群的健康。

"社区是许多护理工作发生的地方，这笔资金将在培养我们未来的护士领袖为社区服务方面发挥巨大的作用，"护理学院院长Linda McCauley博士，护士长，FAAN说。"我们有责任成为确保每个人都能获得护理的解决方案的一部分，我们很感谢有如此广度和深度的资金来支持这项工作。

支持社区卫生工作队伍

HRSA的一笔300万美元的三年期拨款将创建亚特兰大地区社区卫生工作者促进计划（ARCHWAy），该计划旨在扩大和支持社区卫生工作者（CHW）的工作，包括健康教育者、社区组织者、能力建设者和护理服务团队成员。

在最近进行的全国20 大城市医疗保健排名中，亚特兰大在医疗成本、质量和获取方面排名倒数第二。同时，根据美国劳工统计局(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) 的数据，亚特兰大是全国第八大都市统计区，但却不在社区卫生工作者就业率最高的10个都市区之列。

该计划将通过为新的和现有的社区卫生工作者提供为期12周的培训计划来应对这些挑战，同时还将采取招聘和保留措施，如实地安置、学费支持/补贴、工作安置和环绕式服务，包括早期护理和教育、金融知识支持和辅导。培训将以模拟体验和实践学习为特色，涉及的主题包括病人宣传、社区推广、服务协调、健康促进、应急反应以及心脏病、中风和艾滋病的预防和治疗。

护理学院副院长兼学术实践伙伴关系副主席Beth Ann Swan博士，注册护士，FAAN，获得了该拨款并将指导该计划。该计划由HRSA支持，作为总额为300万美元的奖励的一部分，其中0.05%由非政府来源资助。

让医疗服务移动化

惠及服务不足社区的移动医疗是超过390万美元、为期四年的 "护士教育、实践质量和保留-移动医疗培训计划 "拨款的重点。

利用这笔资金，护理学院将建立Emory in MOTION移动医疗计划，该计划将提供两个由护士领导的移动医疗单位，为南乔治亚州和亚特兰大地区服务，并允许来自不同背景的Emory护理学生在单位提供护理时获得临床经验。

Emory in MOTION将与埃伦顿农民工诊所（Ellenton Migrant Farmworker Clinic）合作，该诊所是佐治亚州穆尔特里（Moultrie）的长期临床合作伙伴，购买并配备护士领导的流动医疗车，为该地区的农民工提供护理。在亚特兰大，Emory in MOTION将与几个合作伙伴合作，建立由护士领导的团队，向有需要的社区提供流动护理。合作组织包括Boat People SOS、亚特兰大减少伤害联盟、墨西哥领事馆、德卡布县卫生局以及格温尼特、牛顿和洛克代尔区公共卫生部门。

授予助理教授Quyen Phan, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC; Erin Ferranti, PhD, MPH, RN, FAHA; 和Roxana Chicas, PhD, RN; Laura Kimble, PhD, RN, FNP-C, FAHA, FAAN, 教授和学术运营副院长。该计划由HRSA支持，作为总额为3,908,760美元的奖励的一部分，没有任何百分比的资金来自于非政府来源。

增加临床师资力量，增加实习生

像所有的专业人员一样，护士在开始他们的职业生涯时，从有经验的同事那里受益于洞察力和指导。这一现实是一项为期四年、超过390万美元的拨款的核心，该拨款将招募和培训护士成为东南地区的临床护理教师和指导员。

临床护理教师在医院和其他临床环境的现场培训中教授和评估护理学生，而指导者是经验丰富的持证护士，他们在临床轮转中监督学生。

HRSA赠款将创建东南地区临床教师和导师卓越学院(CAPES)，该学院将培养128名护士作为临床护理教师和导师，为东南地区8个州的卫生专业人员短缺地区的各种护理机构提供新雇用的持牌护士。

该学院将创建和实施培训课程，提供服务以促进临床教师和导师的成功，从财政上支持临床教师和导师以促进留任，为新培训的临床教师和导师提供就业机会，并加强或创建新的学术-临床伙伴关系。

CAPES学院旨在提高护理队伍的能力，因为护士教育者的增加将使护士学校能够招收更多的学生并准备更多的护士。

该计划将由护理学院助理教授Quyen Phan, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC指导。该计划由HRSA支持，作为总额为3,923,317美元的奖励的一部分，没有任何百分比的资金来自于非政府来源。

加强对文化敏感的急性护理 一项近100万美元的三年期拨款将创建 "实现健康公平和扫盲。急症护理中最佳护士效能的培训"（2HEAL）--一个增加急症护理环境中接受培训的本科护理学生数量的计划，以解决和管理健康的社会决定因素。

健康的社会决定因素是人们生活、学习、工作和娱乐场所中影响健康和生活质量的条件。

通过2HEAL项目，来自不同背景的约135名护理学学士将参加实践学习、使用人体模型和病人演员的模拟场景，并与服务于边缘化人群的社区合作伙伴一起接受培训--所有这些都是为了加强学生在急性护理环境中提供高质量、文化敏感的护理的能力，在这些环境中，病人因严重受伤或疾病而接受积极但短期的护理。

护理学院是美国首批将健康的社会决定因素系统地纳入其课程的护理学院之一。2HEAL将在这一势头的基础上，扩大学生在临床培训中处理健康的社会决定因素的方式，并加强学生对亚特兰大市内服务不足人群的健康公平和健康知识的洞察力。

该计划还将与埃默里医疗集团合作，提供专业发展学习模块，作为其注册护士准备的一部分。

资助者是护理学院的助理教授Roxana Chicas博士，RN。该计划由HRSA支持，作为总额为945,776美元的奖励的一部分，没有任何百分比的资金来自于非政府来源。
