The Recovery Act directs NIST and NSF to work together to establish an assistance program for Centers for Health Care Information Enterprise Integration. Institutions of higher education, as well as consortia of these institutions) including nonprofits and federal laboratories), are eligible.

The act also empowers DHHS to support demonstration programs for the development of “academic curricula integrating certified EHR technology into the clinical education of health professionals.” The program is to be competitive and peer-reviewed.

DHHS is to work with NSF to establish or expand medical health informatics education programs. These can include certification, undergraduate and masters’ degree programs.
