Opportunity Summary:
The HRSA 10-194 funding opportunity, titled "ARRA - Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP): Basic/Core Area Health Education Centers (BAHEC) and Model State Supported Area Health Education Centers (MAHEC) Programs," was a one-time, Recovery Act-funded grant competition designed to help eligible health professional training entities buy equipment that improves how health professionals are trained. It sits under a larger EETHP Equipment Initiative that covered 21 different health professions training programs authorized by Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. Even though the initiative had shared overall goals across programs, HRSA handled it through separate announcements because each program has its own statutory requirements and eligible applicant rules. This specific announcement applied only to organizations eligible under the BAHEC and MAHEC AHEC program authorities, and applicants had to align their request with those AHEC program requirements.
At its core, the grant was about capital support for training infrastructure: funding was intended for the purchase of health professions training equipment that would strengthen training capacity, quality, and reach. While the notice does not list specific equipment categories in the text provided, the purpose statement makes clear that the dollars were for tangible training equipment rather than for general operating support, and that the equipment purchases needed to be tied to the mission of preparing health professionals. Because this was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), it was also positioned as an economic stimulus style investment, meaning HRSA expected relatively rapid, concrete improvements in training capability through equipment acquisition.
Eligibility was tied to the statutory AHEC framework. Entities eligible to apply for AHEC program grants included accredited schools of medicine and osteopathic medicine, as well as incorporated consortia made up of such schools or their parent institutions. In states and territories where no AHEC program was operating, an accredited school of nursing could apply instead. The MAHEC (model) eligibility was narrower: applicants had to be currently operating an AHEC Program and also had to have previously received basic AHEC funds but no longer be receiving them. A key point is that an applicant did not need to be a current BAHEC or MAHEC grantee to apply under this equipment opportunity, but it did need to be an entity that would be eligible to apply for the underlying BAHEC/MAHEC grant program.
From a funding mechanics standpoint, this was a discretionary grant program administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration. HRSA expected to make about 200 awards nationwide, with an estimated total program funding level of $50,000,000. Individual awards could be as small as $5,000 (award floor) and as large as $300,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which typically lowers the barrier for eligible institutions that might not have available non-federal capital dollars to pair with the request.
Timing details show this was a fast-moving ARRA-era competition. The opportunity was posted on February 26, 2010, and the application closing date was March 26, 2010, with the listing later archived on May 25, 2010. The short window reinforces the idea that the program was meant to move funds quickly into training programs for near-term implementation through equipment purchases.
For administrative reference, the Funding Opportunity Number was HRSA 10-194, categorized under "Recovery Act" as the funding activity category, with the instrument type listed as a grant. The official listing included an additional information link hosted by HRSA, and HRSA provided applicant support through its call center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772, with a TTY line also provided) for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement or needed help navigating the application materials.
