The Territory Health Revitalization Act modifies the health profession opportunity grant program to better serve U.S. territories by reserving 5 percent of annual federal funding specifically for territories other than the 50 states and Washington, D.C. The bill also expands eligibility by allowing the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to compete for these grants and guarantees that at least 2 grants will go to qualifying organizations located in the territories, provided enough applications meet program requirements. These changes aim to address healthcare workforce shortages in U.S. territories by directing more resources and opportunities toward territory-based health professions training programs. The amendments take effect on October 1, 2025, giving territories immediate access to the set-aside funding and expanded eligibility.
