Opportunity Summary:

The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) Centers of Excellence (COE) Program grant (HRSA-10-174) was a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Recovery Act funding opportunity designed to help eligible health professions training institutions purchase training equipment that directly strengthens education and workforce preparation. It sits under the broader EETHP Equipment Initiative, a coordinated effort spanning 21 different health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. While the overall purpose of the initiative was consistent across programs (upgrading or acquiring equipment that improves training capacity and quality), each of the 21 programs had its own separate announcement and its own statutory requirements. This particular announcement applied only to applicants that are eligible for the Centers of Excellence program, and it required that the equipment being requested clearly support the activities and goals associated with the COE mission.

The main focus of the funding was straightforward: provide one-time grant support for the purchase of health professions training equipment. The intent was to modernize or expand the tools used to train health professionals, which could include instructional, clinical, simulation, laboratory, or other training-related equipment, as long as it aligned with COE program goals. Importantly, an organization did not have to already hold a Centers of Excellence award to apply. However, it did have to meet the eligibility requirements to apply for the COE program in the first place, since COE eligibility was the gatekeeper for this EETHP-COE equipment funding.

The opportunity offered a large national funding pool and relatively modest individual award sizes. HRSA anticipated making about 200 awards from an estimated total of $50,000,000. Individual grant amounts ranged from a floor of $5,000 to a ceiling of $300,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for schools and nonprofit training entities that may not have had funds available to match federal dollars.

Eligible applicants were defined in the program guidance, but the announcement highlights a set of core eligible institution types. With the exception of Centers of Excellence at certain Historically Black Colleges and Universities (as noted in the notice), applicants could include accredited allopathic medical schools, osteopathic medical schools, dental schools, pharmacy schools, graduate programs in behavioral or mental health, and other public or nonprofit health or educational entities. The eligibility list also explicitly included faith-based organizations and community-based organizations, as long as they met both general and program-specific conditions laid out in the detailed guidance. In practice, that means applicants needed to be able to demonstrate they fit within the COE-authorized framework and that their proposed equipment purchases were reasonable, allowable, and tied to training outcomes and COE priorities.

Administratively, this was a discretionary grant funded under the Recovery Act category. The opportunity was posted February 26, 2010, with an application closing date of March 26, 2010, and it was later archived May 25, 2010. HRSA provided a standard support contact pathway through the HRSA Call Center for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement or needed technical assistance.

In short, HRSA-10-174 was a time-limited ARRA-funded equipment grant that aimed to quickly strengthen health professions education infrastructure by paying for training equipment purchases, specifically for organizations eligible under the Centers of Excellence program framework. It emphasized alignment with COE goals, broad but defined nonprofit/public eligibility, and quick deployment of federal funds through many relatively small awards with no matching requirement.
