- Trainers who have experience supervising and instructing professionals who are from specific cultural communities
- Proposals that limit class enrollment to foster a supportive and advanced learning environment that builds on existing expertise
- Proposals that address how trainee absences will be managed to ensure that all enrollees successfully complete the training
- Geographic service areas of applicants to ensure statewide access to training opportunities
Eligible applicants include accredited colleges, universities, and other post-secondary training institutions or entities that are based in Minnesota and offer continuing education courses within the mental health field in Minnesota.
