FAQ:
Our program sent 1-2 trainees to the dec. 2022, mar. 2023, may 2023, or Dec. 2023 map cohort. would we be eligible for funding if we sent the remaining number trainees to an upcoming map cohort?
Yes. Programs may send additional staff to create a three-person cohort. This cohort must consist of:
- 1 supervisor + 2 clinicians
- 3 clinicians + a previously MAP trained supervisor at the program site (not required to attend again)
OUr program has a supervisor on staff that previously complete map supervisor training. do we need to send a supervisor to be eligbile for funding?
No. Programs with a supervisor that has completed MAP supervisor training do not need to send a supervisor. Instead, these programs must send three (3) clinicians to be eligible for funding.
What if a trainee drops out before completing the training?
If a trainee must drop out before completing the training, the program will no longer be eligible for funding. However, they can send an additional trainee to an upcoming MAP cohort to regain eligibility.
can we send more than 3 trainees?
Yes. Agencies can send as many trainees as they would like. However, only full groups of three will qualify for additional funding.
