What the grant funds

This Program guidance focuses on providing administrative support for HRSA"s NHHSP, under the NHHCIA, as amended (42 U.S.C § 11709). The goal of NHHCIA is to improve the health of Native Hawaiians by promoting health, preventing disease, educating, and providing better health care infrastructure. The NHHSP awards scholarships to eligible Native Hawaiian students who are enrolled in accredited health professions schools in return for a commitment to provide primary health services to the Native Hawaiian population in the State of Hawaii. This capacity-building effort is supported, in part, by NHHSP by increasing the number of Native Hawaiian health care professionals trained in those disciplines and specialties most needed to deliver quality health care to Native Hawaiians in the State of Hawaii. The NHHSP has three main parts: It offers scholarships to Native Hawaiians pursuing careers in designated health care professions, including allied health professions. This includes degree programs in health at the Associate, Bachelor, Master, Professional or Doctorate level. It trains participants to provide health care in Hawaiian communities, emphasizing [the importance of] language and cultural context to the extent practicable. It places participants in priority Native Hawaiian communities after they finish their education and training.
