MORE Act

HR 4734, the MORE Act, changes how federal health profession opportunity grants are awarded. It requires the Secretary to give preference to applicants who have established partnerships with three specific types of organizations: state/local government agencies, higher education institutions/apprenticeship programs, and healthcare employers or industry groups. This preference applies to applicants seeking grants under Section 2008 of the Social Security Act, directly affecting organizations applying for these federal training funds. The changes take effect on October 1, 2023.
