CDC Workforce Improvement Projects (WIPs)

APTR periodically announces new funding opportunities open to members of APTR and our three CDC partner organizations – AAMC, AACN, and ASPPH.  Workforce Improvement Projects (WIPs) are one method used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to solicit proposals from eligible applicants in topic areas that are of interest to the CDC Centers, Institutes and Offices (CIOs).
