Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) Geriatric Education Centers (GEC) Program grant opportunity (HRSA-10-178) was a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant funded under the Recovery Act. Its basic purpose was to provide one-time support for purchasing equipment that improves how health professionals are trained, specifically when that equipment directly strengthens geriatric-focused education and training activities aligned with the goals of the Geriatric Education Centers program. This opportunity was part of a larger EETHP Equipment Initiative that covered 21 separate health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act; HRSA issued separate funding announcements for each eligible program, and this particular announcement applied only to applicants eligible under the GEC program track.
The funding was intended strictly for equipment that enhances training capacity, meaning applicants needed to show that requested purchases would tangibly improve instructional delivery, clinical training experiences, or workforce preparation related to geriatrics. While the overall EETHP initiative had shared goals across programs, applicants under this announcement were expected to meet the statutory and program-specific expectations tied to the Geriatric Education Centers framework, and to justify that the equipment would support GEC-related activities rather than general institutional needs. Importantly, an organization did not need to already be a current GEC grantee to apply; it simply needed to be eligible to apply for the GEC grant program, which broadened access beyond existing award recipients.
Eligibility centered on accredited U.S. health professions schools and programs across a wide range of disciplines. Eligible applicants included schools of allopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, public health, chiropractic medicine, pharmacy, optometry, allied health, podiatric medicine, nursing, and physician assistant programs. HRSA also allowed certain accredited graduate programs to apply, including health administration and behavioral health and mental health practice fields such as clinical psychology, clinical social work, professional counseling, and marriage and family therapy. Applicants had to be located in the United States or specified U.S. jurisdictions and affiliated areas, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and several freely associated states and territories (Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia).
From a funding and award structure standpoint, HRSA anticipated making about 200 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $50,000,000. Individual awards 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 programs that might not have had institutional funds available for matching. The opportunity was posted on February 26, 2010, with an application deadline of March 26, 2010, and it was later archived on May 25, 2010.
For applicants seeking more details at the time, HRSA provided an online announcement link and support through the HRSA Call Center for access issues or questions, including email and phone contact options.
