Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Infrastructure Development Awards and AHEC Point of Service Maintenance and Enhancement Awards (HRSA-10-253) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to help eligible AHEC-related entities purchase equipment used to train health professionals. It sits under the broader EETHP Equipment Initiative, a set of funding announcements tied to 21 different health professions training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. Even though the initiative shares an overall goal across programs, HRSA separated it into multiple announcements so applicants apply under the specific statutory authority and eligibility rules that match their training program. This particular notice is only for organizations eligible under the AHEC Infrastructure Development and AHEC Point of Service Maintenance and Enhancement program authorities.
At its core, the opportunity is about strengthening health workforce training capacity through equipment purchases. The intent is to modernize, expand, or better equip training environments that support the preparation of health professionals, consistent with AHEC program purposes (which generally focus on improving the distribution, diversity, and supply of the health workforce, especially in underserved areas). The funding is targeted to equipment rather than general operating support, aligning with the EETHP initiative emphasis on tangible training enhancements that can be put into use relatively quickly.
The funding was posted April 26, 2010, created April 28, 2010, and closed May 17, 2010, with an archive date of July 16, 2010, reflecting a time-limited American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) style equipment investment window. HRSA anticipated making around 200 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding pool of $50,000,000. Individual award amounts were expected to range from $5,000 (floor) to $300,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may have limited non-federal resources for capital or equipment upgrades.
Eligibility is specific and split across two AHEC-related categories. For AHEC Infrastructure Development awards (previously called Basic AHEC Program awards), eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit accredited schools of allopathic medicine and osteopathic medicine, incorporated consortia of such schools, or their parent institutions. In states and territories where no AHEC program is operating, an accredited school of nursing may apply instead, which is meant to ensure there is still an eligible institutional pathway to start building AHEC capacity in places without an existing program. For AHEC Point of Service Maintenance and Enhancement awards (previously called Model AHEC Program awards), eligible applicants are entities that have already received funds under the AHEC authorizing section, are operating an AHEC program (including one or more centers), and have centers that are no longer eligible for financial assistance under the earlier subsection. In practice, this targets established AHEC programs that need to maintain and enhance training and service capacity at sites that have aged out of certain streams of support but remain important for workforce development.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary health grant, using the grant funding instrument type. Applicants needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it were directed to the HRSA Call Center via email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA), with an alternate number listed as 301-998-7373.
