AI Summary
This bill establishes two innovation grant programs in Texas:
1. The Psychiatric Specialty Innovation Grant Program, which provides incentive payments to medical schools that administer innovative residency training programs to increase the number of physicians specializing in pediatric or adult psychiatric care, particularly in rural or underserved areas.
2. The Behavioral Health Innovation Grant Program, which provides incentive payments to institutions of higher education that administer innovative recruitment, training, and retention programs to increase the number of mental health professionals and related professionals, including by providing salary increases or stipends to faculty members who provide instruction to additional students.
The bill authorizes the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to seek federal funds and accept gifts, grants, and donations to support these programs, and requires the board to adopt rules for their administration and implementation by September 1, 2024.
