Minnesota Statutes Sec. 144.1505 authorizes the Commissioner of Health to award grants to support the establishment or expansion of clinical training for eligible health professional training programs. The grant program provides funding for planning clinical training programs and/or expanding existing clinical training programs in rural and underserved urban areas of Minnesota.

Funds are awarded through a competitive review process. Eligible, accredited training programs must be located in Minnesota and must train students enrolled in at least one of the following programs: advanced practice nursing, dental therapy, pharmacy, physician assistant, or mental health professional programs. During this cycle it is estimated that approximately $500,000 will be available for the grant program.
