I am trying to join the following HRSA TA webinar: Health and Public Safety Workforce Resiliency Training Program (HRSA 22-109): July 22 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM ET. the link for it is not working, saying it is at 3pm....

Is this the presentation for HRSA-22-109 or 111. The website this is the time slot for 109

This is the correct presentation for this time, but the link was with the later presentation.

? So is the HRSA-22-109 presentation at 3pm instead of 1pm as listed?

The link for 22-109 is for the 3p 22-111. we need the correct link for 22-109

Agreed there is some confusion. Is this presentation "Technical Assistance Webinars for Funding Opportunities Promoting Resiliency and Burnout Reduction in the Health and Public Safety Workforce"

Also trying to get into HRSA-22-109

This is the HRSA-22-109 webinar.

Thanks @ Carl. The link is wrong if this is the HRSA-22-109 from the email.

The links for this webinar and the one later today on 22-111 are switched in the emails.

The first year has more funds for immediate needs in the workforce. In that first year, can recipients provide direct patient care in coordination with training?

It seems like we could work in a small community which has a jail, small rural hospital, counseling center and health department - it is just the county is very small. I wonder how we would be considered next to others who might have a larger group they are serving.

Would a proposal targeting multiple disciplines be more favorably reviewed than a proposal that only targeted a single discipline? There seems to be a preference for narrow focus, though maybe I am misunderstanding that
