Opportunity Summary:
The "Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Point of Service Maintenance and Enhancement" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-034) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It supports the continuation and strengthening of AHEC efforts that are built around interdisciplinary, community-based training with a strong emphasis on primary care. The core purpose is practical and workforce-focused: improving the distribution, diversity, supply, and quality of health professionals, especially primary care providers, with particular attention to rural and other medically underserved communities and the real-world clinical sites where care is delivered.
This announcement offers funding through cooperative agreements, meaning recipients are expected to work in close coordination with HRSA rather than operating entirely independently. The FOA covers a one-year project period and references two related award tracks within the broader AHEC authorization: AHEC Infrastructure Development and AHEC Point of Service Maintenance and Enhancement. Collectively, these awards are meant to help establish, maintain, and advance statewide or multi-county AHEC programs, reinforcing the partnerships between academic institutions and community-based organizations that train health professionals in settings that reflect the needs of underserved populations.
Eligibility for the Point of Service Maintenance and Enhancement awards is specific and tied to an applicant's history with the AHEC program. An eligible applicant must be an entity that has previously received funds under Section 751 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, is currently operating an AHEC program (including one or more centers as defined in that section), and has one or more AHEC centers that are no longer eligible to receive financial assistance under subsection (a)(1). In other words, this funding is geared toward established AHEC entities that need support to maintain and enhance point-of-service training functions after certain centers have aged out of earlier funding eligibility.
The opportunity is authorized under Title VII, Section 751 of the PHS Act, as amended by the Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148). That legislative foundation underscores the federal priority behind the program: building a stronger primary care workforce pipeline and ensuring training experiences are grounded in community needs, especially where provider shortages and access barriers are most severe.
In terms of scale and competition, HRSA anticipated making about 19 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6.5 million. The program is listed under CFDA 93.107. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to document how they will meet the match expectation as part of the overall project budget and financial plan.
Key dates for this particular cycle indicate it was posted on April 22, 2011, with a closing deadline of June 10, 2011, and an archive date of August 10, 2011. For applicants or stakeholders needing the full announcement details, HRSA provided an online link and also offered support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772), which is especially relevant for organizations that run into access or submission issues and need official guidance or technical help.
