Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) opportunity for Geriatric Training for Physicians, Dentists, and Behavioral and Mental Health Professionals (GTPD) is a discretionary HRSA grant competition created under the Recovery Act to help health professional training programs buy equipment that directly strengthens training. It is part of a larger EETHP "Equipment Initiative" that spans 21 different health professions training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. HRSA kept the overall purpose consistent across the initiative (improving training capacity through equipment purchases), but issued separate funding announcements for each eligible program area because applicants must still meet the specific statutory and program requirements tied to the particular training program they are applying under. This specific announcement is limited to applicants eligible for the GTPD program, and it focuses on equipment that supports geriatric-focused education and training for physicians, dentists, and behavioral and mental health professionals.
In practical terms, the grant is designed to fund equipment purchases that enhance the ability of eligible institutions to train health professionals to better serve older adults. The proposal should make a clear case that the requested equipment is necessary for, and will be used in, activities aligned with the goals of the GTPD program. Importantly, an organization does not have to already hold a GTPD award to apply under this equipment competition; it only needs to be eligible to apply for the underlying GTPD grant program.
Funding details reflect a relatively high-volume national competition. HRSA anticipated up to 200 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $50,000,000. Individual awards could range from a $5,000 floor to a $300,000 ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity, which means applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is labeled as Recovery Act, indicating it was supported by ARRA stimulus funding and aligned with the broader aim of rapidly strengthening public-serving infrastructure, in this case the training infrastructure for the health workforce.
Eligible applicants are specific types of accredited and training-focused institutions: accredited schools of medicine, schools of osteopathic medicine, teaching hospitals, and graduate medical education programs. The notice defines a graduate medical education program as one sponsored by a medical or osteopathic school, a hospital, or a public or private nonprofit institution that offers postgraduate medical training in specialties or subspecialties and is accredited by either the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the American Osteopathic Association via its Committee on Postdoctoral Training. Geographic eligibility is broad within the US system and affiliated jurisdictions, including the United States and DC, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and several Freely Associated States (Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia).
Key administrative details: the funding opportunity number is HRSA 10-179, and the title is "ARRA - Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals - Geriatric Training for Physicians, Dentists, and Behavioral and Mental Health Professionals."

For official materials and full instructions, the announcement pointed applicants to HRSA’s grants site and provided HRSA Call Center support (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and the listed phone numbers) for access issues or questions about the announcement.
