APTR Announces CDC Grantee Awardees

APTR is pleased to announce the grantees of the Acceleration of Prevention and Population Health Education Project funded through the APTR-CDC Cooperative Agreement. APTR provided this funding opportunity for faculty at a critical time when universities were being challenged to educate students through remote learning formats.

Acceleration grants are intended to expand and support education in the areas of community resilience and preparedness, health equity and social justice, and access to care. Faculty will be able to access effective methods for integrating these topics into existing courses and curricula after June 2021.
