The purpose of this program is to build the operational readiness capabilities of medical reserve corps (MRC) volunteers and units to meet the emergency preparedness and response needs of their local, regional, or statewide stakeholders. Ultimately, projects should aspire to meet the needs of all MRC units, support efforts to build MRC capabilities, strengthen stakeholder awareness of MRC capabilities, and identify or sustain integration of the MRC into local, state, and/or regional emergency response plans. Funding is provided in two categories in order to address the variation in MRC size, capabilities, and resources as follows:
- Tier 1: strengthen MRC volunteer capabilities
- Tier 2: strengthen MRC unit response capabilities
