CDC'S COLLABORATION WITH ACADEMIA TO STRENGTHEN PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE CAPACITY

ENHANCING THE CAPACITY OF THE NATION?S PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE TO ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY - THE ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS OF PUBLIC HEALTH (ASPPH) IS POISED TO RESPOND TO CDC’S CALL TO “BUILD COMPETENCIES AND ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF THE NATION’S PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE TO REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY” THROUGH COMPONENTS A AND B OF A FY 2022 “STRENGTHENING THE POPULATION & PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE PIPELINE” COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. ASPPH REPRESENTS 137 GRADUATE SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS OF PUBLIC HEALTH (S/PPH) WITH CURRENT OR PENDING ACCREDITATION BY THE NATION’S COUNCIL ON EDUCATION FOR PUBLIC HEALTH (CEPH). THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS REVEALED OBSTACLES IMPACTING THE ABILITY OF THE NATION’S PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES AND HAS HIGHLIGHTED LONGSTANDING CHALLENGES FACING THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE. THERE IS A CLEAR NEED TO MODERNIZE OUR PUBLIC HEALTH DATA INFRASTRUCTURE, FOCUS ON HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH. THE PANDEMIC ALSO REVEALED STRENGTHS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE CRITICAL ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH (GPH) WORKFORCE. ASPPH, AND OUR MEMBERS, HAVE JOINED WITH OUR COLLEAGUES AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, TRIBAL, LOCAL, AND TERRITORIAL (STLT) LEVELS TO HELP BRIDGE GAPS AND PROVIDE ESSENTIAL TRAININGS DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS. ASPPH SERVES AS A LEADER AND NATIONAL CONVENER FOR S/PPH, EDUCATING AND TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE PROFESSIONALS AND LEADERS PREPARED TO MEET EMERGING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES, ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND GENERATE EVIDENCE-BASED KNOWLEDGE TO DRIVE EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION IN PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE. ASPPH RECOGNIZES THAT A ROBUST AND DIVERSE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE TRAINED IN THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH, INCLUDING LEADERSHIP AND DATA SCIENCE, IS PARAMOUNT TO REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES AND ADVANCING HEALTH EQUITY. ASPPH ESTABLISHED THE ASPPH CENTER FOR PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY 2022 TO APPLY AND DISSEMINATE BEST PRACTICES IN THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF DIVERSE PUBLIC HEALTH LEARNERS AND ENGAGE THE CURRENT AND FUTURE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE ACROSS DISCIPLINES AND SECTORS TO ADDRESS HEALTH SYSTEM CHALLENGES AND RESOLVE CRITICAL POPULATION HEALTH CHALLENGES. WITH THIS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT, ASPPH WILL STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE OF TODAY AND TOMORROW TO APPLY LEADERSHIP AND DATA SCIENCE TRAINING TO IDENTIFY, ASSESS, AND RESPOND TO PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS, IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH OUTCOMES, REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES, AND ADVANCE HEALTH EQUITY BY INCREASING THE COMPETENCIES OF THE CURRENT AND FUTURE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE IN LEADERSHIP AND DATA SCIENCE AND BY WORKING TO INCREASE THE DIVERSITY OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE PIPELINE. KEY COMPONENTS OF THIS WORK ARE TO: - ENGAGE ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE, AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY SERVE TO ESTABLISH A LEADERSHIP AND DATA SCIENCE TRAINING AGENDA AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. - PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH QUALITY APPLIED LEARNING EXPERIENCES, WORKFORCE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES, AND CONTINUING EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES BETWEEN ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH AND GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH JURISDICTIONS WITH A FOCUS ON LOWER-RESOURCED HEALTH JURISDICTIONS. - DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE RESOURCES FOR THE CURRENT PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE TO HELP FILL GAPS IN EXISTING CONTENT FOR LEADERSHIP AND DATA SCIENCE TRAINING. - CONTINUE THE LONGSTANDING ASPPH/CDC PUBLIC HEALTH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. OUTCOMES OF THIS WORK INCLUDE: (1) INCREASED ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE DIDACTIC LEADERSHIP AND DATA SCIENCE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF LEARNERS AT ALL LEVELS TO HELP FILL GAPS IN EXISTING CONTENT; (2) INCREASED ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY APPLIED LEARNING EXPERIENCES BETWEEN S/PPH AND GPH JURISDICTIONS WITH A FOCUS ON LOWER-RESOURCED HEALTH JURISDICTIONS; (3) FELLOWS GAIN APPLIED KNOWLEDGE IN GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND POPULATION HEALTH; AND (4) FE

CATEGORY A: TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS - AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE (AI/AN) PEOPLES RANK NEAR THE BOTTOM OF ALL AMERICANS IN HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND EMPLOYMENT. THE CURRENT AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF AI/AN PEOPLE IS ESTIMATED TO BE ONLY 65.2 YEARS, AND AI/AN PEOPLE ARE THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES AND SIX TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM ALCOHOLISM THAN OTHER RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE U.S. THESE POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES ARE ROOTED IN COLONIZATION AND CENTURIES OF SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION TARGETING TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. THEY ARE ALSO THE RESULT OF INEFFICIENT HEALTHCARE DELIVERY, LACK OF INSURANCE, THE NEED TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES FOR SERVICES, AND MISTRUST IN GOVERNMENT CARE DUE TO A HISTORY OF INHUMANE PRACTICES. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FORMALLY RECOGNIZES 574 TRIBAL NATIONS, COMPRISED OF APPROXIMATELY 2.6 MILLION AI/AN TRIBAL MEMBERS. THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE (IHS) IS THE FEDERAL AGENCY THAT DELIVERS HEALTH SERVICES TO MEMBERS OF FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBAL NATIONS. DESPITE THE POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES EXPERIENCED BY AI/AN PEOPLES, MANY TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS LACK THE FUNDING, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND WORKFORCE TO DELIVER CLINICAL CARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. EVEN BEFORE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC DECREASED THE OVERALL GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE, STAFF VACANCIES AND INSUFFICIENT STAFF CAPACITY WERE THE BIGGEST IMPEDIMENT FOR PROVIDING TIMELY CARE TO TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. WITH AN INCREASINGLY DEPLETED WORKFORCE AND AI/AN POPULATIONS STRUGGLING WITH DEEPENING HEALTH DISPARITIES, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS HAVE THE CAPACITY TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES NOW AND IN FUTURE EMERGENCIES. TO ADDRESS THIS, ASPPH PROPOSES THE “TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM” PROJECT IN RESPONSE TO CDC’S CALL TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL AND SYSTEMS INFRASTRUCTURE AND PERFORMANCE ACROSS THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCE HEALTH INEQUITIES. ASPPH IS THE VOICE OF ACCREDITED ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH, REPRESENTING SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS ACCREDITED BY THE COUNCIL ON EDUCATION FOR PUBLIC HEALTH. OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH BY MOBILIZING THE COLLECTIVE POWER OF OUR MEMBERS TO DRIVE EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION IN EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND PRACTICE. ASPPH IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO PROVIDE CAPACITY-BUILDING ASSISTANCE (CBA) TO THE TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT WORKFORCE TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM.  ASPPH WILL PROVIDE CBA TO TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS THROUGH DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A “TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM.” THE “TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM” WILL PLACE 24 POSTGRADUATE PUBLIC HEALTH FELLOWS FROM ASPPH-MEMBER INSTITUTIONS IN VARIOUS TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO IMPLEMENT DEPARTMENT-IDENTIFIED PROJECTS AND PREPARE FELLOWS FOR A CAREER IN TRIBAL PUBLIC HEALTH. ASPPH WILL ALSO PROVIDE CBA TO TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT HOST SITES THROUGH THE PROVISION OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND TAILORED TRAININGS REGARDING BEST PRACTICES IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. TO ENSURE THE PROGRAM HONORS TRIBAL WISDOM AND APPROACHES TO PUBLIC HEALTH, ASPPH WILL WORK IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, TRIBAL HEALTH AND HEALTH EQUITY SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, AND ASPPH MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS WITH CLOSE TIES TO TRIBAL NATIONS THROUGH ALL STAGES OF PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION. THE CBA PROVIDED THROUGH “TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM” WILL DIRECTLY IMPROVE TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATIONAL AND SYSTEMS CAPACITY, CAPABILITY, AND EFFECTIVENESS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OUTCOMES OF TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND DECREASE HEALTH INEQUITIES. THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO ENHANCE THE PIPELINE FROM PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN RESPONSE TO HEALTHY PEOPLE 2030 PHI-R02: EXPAND PIPELINE PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE SERVICE LEARNING OR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING COMPONENTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH SETTINGS.
