UNC
to Become Regional Center for Research on Health Workforce. |
The
Health Resources and Services Administration’s Bureau of Health Professions has
awarded UNC at Chapel Hill a cooperative agreement to become the Southeast Regional Center for Health
Workforce Studies. This agreement
will provide $1 million to the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services
Research over 3 years to fund a variety of research projects about health and
health-care workers.
The center will provide timely information to policymakers about critical health workforce issues to assure access to the full range of health-care providers. This funding will enable the Sheps Center to continue to contribute to state and regional health workforce needs. First-year funding will pay for five studies and start-up activities.
