The Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response’s (ASPR) Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program announced that up to $50 million in American Rescue Plan funding is available to states, territories, tribes, public/private partnerships, and other public entities to expand the work of the network. MRC will accept applications for the State, Territory and Tribal Nations, Representative Organizations for Next Generation (MRC-STTRONG) Awards through Monday, May 1, at 11:59PM ET.
Jurisdictions can use MRC-STTRONG grant funding to expand, sustain, and improve the MRC network, with a particular focus on health emergency preparedness, response, and health equity needs. The grants are competitive, and the MRC national office anticipates being able to fund up to 70 projects through MRC-STTRONG.
Please note: the Administrative Preparedness Plan Execution is no longer a requirement and does not need to be included in the Project Narrative.
