SU’s College of Health Sciences has been awarded a five-year, $850,000 grant from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources Services Administration, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
This is the second time that the college has received a grant to create a Pipeline for students in pre-professional and professional programs at Alabama State University to pursue health related careers with a focus on maternal and child health. The MCH Pipeline Training Program is housed in the College’s Center to Advance Rehabilitative Health and Education.
Students selected to participate in the MCH Pipeline Training Program (Pipeline) will be eligible to receive a stipend and earn an 18-credit certificate/minor in maternal and child health. The Pipeline Training Program plans to enroll at least 20 students per cohort annually.
Dr. Steven Chesbro, dean of ASU’s College of Health Sciences, said this grant complements the work already being done in CARE.
“The College of Health Sciences’ Center to Advance Rehabilitative Health and Education continues to fulfill its purpose, which is to address the needs of minority populations,†Chesbro said. “We are excited to have this opportunity to develop students’ interests in maternal and child health careers.â€
