With generous support from MetLife Foundation, the Caregiving Project for Older Americans invites proposals from community colleges and other 2-year institutions under the 2009 Community College Caregiver Training Initiative. Up to fifteen grants of up to $20,000 will be awarded.
The purpose of the initiative is to encourage the development of new and novel caregiving training programs, promote skill development, advance the quality of care, and provide opportunities for career development. In addition, the Initiative will raise national awareness both of the critical need for caregiver training and of the central role that community colleges can play in providing this training.
We encourage innovation in the design, management, and implementation of caregiver training programs under this initiative. Community colleges and other 2-year institutions located in the United States are eligible. The RFP can be downloaded at www.ilcusa.org/caregiving/colleges.htm. The deadline for submissions is June 8, 2009. Final selection of grantees will be made July 2009. Questions should be directed to ccct.2009@ilcusa.org.
