Mountain and Plains Partnership


The Mountain and Plains Partnership (MAPP) is a coalition of 16 higher education institutions, government agencies and community organizations. The eight education institution MAPP partners are using various distance learning technologies to educate "homegrown" Nurse Practitioners, Certified Nurse-Midwives and Physician Assistants who are committed to providing primary health care in underserved rural and low-income urban areas in Colorado, Wyoming and the bordering states.

MAPP began in 1995, with a 15 month planning grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), on January 1, 1997.  MAPP began a six-year Implementation grant project, with $1.3 million funding from RWJF.  MAPP is one of eight RWJF Partnerships for Training (PFT) Projects. For further information on the eight RWJF/PFT projects, go to National Program Office web site.

MAPP gratefully acknowledges support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Partnerships for Training; the State of Colorado's Education Technology Incentive and Continuation Grant Programs and the Technology Learning Grant and Revolving Loan Program; the Area Health Education Centers (AHECs); the Colorado Health Professions Panel; the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center; the University of Phoenix;  and the MAPP Partner Education Institutions, Agencies and Organizations
