Explanation
Columbus Public Health has been awarded a grant from the Regents of The University of Michigan originating from the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $80,000.00 in grant monies to fund the 2022-2026 University of Michigan Region V Public Health Training Center (PHTC) Grant Program for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2026.
Columbus Public Health will serve as a community-based training partner to strengthen the public health workforce and improve population health outcomes through tailored workforce development initiatives. CPH activities and initiatives include participation on PHTC advisory boards and committees, facilitation of faculty-student collaboration projects, student field placements, and dissemination of educational materials and recruitment.
