Purpose

The Infection Prevention and Control Capacity Building in Long-term Care Grant offers funding to increase the capacity of residential facilities serving older adults in Minnesota to meet critical needs and provide services for their residents.

Program priorities:

  1. Increasing transferrable infection prevention and control capacity (knowledge, skills, and practices) among the long term care (LTC) workforce and other LTC stakeholders in facilities or organizations serving older adults in a way that considers settings with high staff turnover
  2. Improving facility ventilation and/or broader plant infrastructure to reduce transmission of infectious diseases among residents and staff in LTC facilities. Proposed improvements should focus on evidence-based recommendations to reduce the transmission of infectious disease.

Other competitive priorities:

  • Programs and strategies that serve as models and may be replicated
  • Projects that can be implemented effectively in a setting with high staff turnover
  • Projects with a regional or statewide reach
  • Projects that are cost-effective
  • Projects with evidence of long-term sustainability

Applicants are encouraged to propose innovative approaches, as well as modifications to current resources, to address priority areas.
