Commonwealth Innovative Internship Fund and Program

In 2018, the Virginia General Assembly appropriated funding to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) to stimulate public colleges and universities to develop partnerships to provide innovative paid internship opportunities for their students. In 2019, the effort was expanded and enacted into law as the Innovative Internship Fund and Program. In 2020, through a partnership with the Virginia Chamber Foundation, the program was rebranded as the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP).

Purpose

The program aims to expand high-quality, paid, and credit-bearing student internships and other work-based learning opportunities in collaboration with Virginia employers. The program comprises institutional grants and a statewide initiative to facilitate the readiness of students, employers, and institutions of higher education to participate in internships and other work-based learning opportunities.

Transforming Federal Work-Study and On-Campus Jobs Program

Recognizing the diversity of Virginia’s higher education institutions and the fact that institutions are at various stages in the process, the intent of this call for applications is to support institutions wherever they are at in their journey to transform federal work-study (FWS) jobs and/or on-campus jobs to be internships/more internship-like while adhering to federal policy requirements for FWS.

The grants can be used for implementation planning, piloting or scaling transformed FWS programs and/or on-campus jobs, depending on where an institution is in the process.

Three competitive grant tracks for funding will be offered to meet an institution wherever they are at in the process; the tracks are summarized below. Institutions do not have to start at the beginning (implementation planning) unless necessary; otherwise they apply for the stage they are in or about to undertake.

Institutions that operate Federal Work-Study (FWS) programs must prioritize transforming their FWS positions but may also propose broader transformations of other on-campus jobs. Institutions without FWS programs may submit proposals under the tracks below focused on transforming on-campus positions to be more internship-like.

  • Implementation Planning
  • Piloting the Transformation
  • Scaling the Transformation

Piloting the Transformation Grant

Two-year award. 

Once implementation planning is well underway or nearing completion, an institution will determine how to pilot the transformation and where to start. The approach can vary but should be data-informed.

Virginia
Up to US $400,000

Virginia Department of Health

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is dedicated to protecting and promoting the health of Virginians. VDH is made up of a statewide Central Office in Richmond and 35 local health districts. These entities work together to promote healthy lifestyle choices that can combat chronic disease, educate the public about emergency preparedness and threats to their health, and track disease outbreaks in Virginia.

About Virginia Rural Health Transformation

Virginia’s RHTP was established under Section 71401 of Public Law 119-21 and is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. CMS awarded the Commonwealth a cooperative agreement designating the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) as the primary recipient. VDH is a subrecipient of DMAS and administers the Community Paramedicine and Innovative Maternal Care sub-initiatives.

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has opened two Requests for Applications (RFAs) under Virginia’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP): Community Paramedicine and Innovative Maternal Care.

These funding opportunities will support innovative, community-driven approaches to expand access to care, strengthen local and regional health systems, and improve health outcomes for rural Virginians.

Community Paramedicine

VDH is seeking community-driven Community Paramedicine and Mobile Integrated Healthcare projects that expand access to care and preserve emergency response EMS resources in rural Virginia. Projects may include treat-in-place and alternative care delivery models, chronic disease management, care transitions and readmission prevention, preventive services, behavioral health and substance use supports, care coordination and patient navigation, aging-in-place initiatives, and other innovative approaches that connect rural residents with the right care at the right time.

Invitation to Applicants

Collaboration is welcomed and can help strengthen care delivery models and innovation in rural health. Whether you represent EMS agencies, healthcare providers, community nonprofits, public health departments, or multiregional organizations, we invite you to consider applying.
