Support and Capacity Building for an Expansion of the Medical Reserve Corps and a Demonstration of the Public Health Service Auxiliary: The primary purpose of the MRC program office, in OSG, is to provide national and regional leadership, in partnership with key stakeholders, to facilitate local efforts to establish, implement, and sustain MRC units. The MRC has developed as a means to organize medical, public health and other volunteers in support of existing programs and resources to improve the health and safety of communities and the nation. A major goal of the MRC program is to encourage integration and coordination with local, State, and Federal Partners, including public health, medical, emergency management and other agencies and organizations. A further objective is for the coordinated involvement of MRC members in a national-level response. The purposes of this single-eligibility cooperative agreement with NACCHO are to: Enhance the capacity of MRC units throughout the nation to meet identified local needs for public health and safety; Increase awareness and understanding of the MRC; Enhance cooperation between OSG and local/state/national authorities to support and increase MRC capacity; and Demonstrate the feasibility of the Public Health Service (PHS) Auxiliary concept in meeting surge personnel needs during national- level responses.
