This bill modifies the health profession opportunity grants program under the Social Security Act to prioritize grant applications from organizations that partner with specific types of entities. Organizations applying for these federal grants will receive preference if they demonstrate partnerships with state and local government agencies and social service providers, institutions of higher education and workforce development programs, or health care employers and labor unions. The bill does not create new funding or establish specific grant amounts, but rather changes how existing grants are awarded by giving priority to applicants with these designated community and business partnerships. The changes take effect on October 1, 2025, and affect organizations seeking federal support to train workers for health care professions.
