About The Project

The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training Program Partnership and Stipend Opportunity is a 1.5-year long commitment to expand and improve infection prevention and control (IPC) training curriculum and skills labs for rising healthcare personnel in California, specifically CNAs.
The California Department of Public Health Healthcare-Associated Infections (CDPH HAI) Program will select stipend recipients via competitive application. Priority will be given to training programs that have expressed interest in using Project Firstline IPC curriculum or are located in regions of the state where healthcare facilities may benefit from additional resources to improve health outcomes. Stipend recipients will receive $20,000 and recognition on the CDPH HAI Program project webpage.
