Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) opportunity under HRSA Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-237 was a discretionary grant program designed to help health professional training programs buy equipment that directly strengthens education and hands-on clinical training. It was part of a larger EETHP "Equipment Initiative" that covered 21 different health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act. Even though the overall intent of the initiative was consistent across all 21 programs, HRSA issued separate announcements because each eligible training program has its own statutory requirements and focus areas. This specific announcement applied only to entities eligible under the Primary Care Training and Enhancement program, with guidance targeted specifically to physician assistant (PA) training in primary care.
At its core, the grant supported the purchase of training equipment that improves the capacity and quality of PA education aimed at primary care delivery. The Primary Care Training and Enhancement program is built around strengthening the primary care workforce as a way to improve access to care, with emphasis on family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, and primary care physician assistants. Within that umbrella, HRSA supports several training-related areas such as academic administrative units, residency training, predoctoral training, faculty development, and PA training programs. Under this equipment-focused ARRA opportunity, applicants were expected to request equipment that clearly supports those Primary Care Training and Enhancement goals, meaning the equipment should have a direct and defensible link to preparing PAs for primary care practice (for example, equipment used for clinical skills training, simulation, diagnostic training, or other instructional technologies tied to primary care competencies).
Eligibility was limited to certain accredited public or nonprofit entities connected to PA education and training. Specifically, eligible applicants included accredited public or nonprofit private hospitals; schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine; academically affiliated physician assistant training programs; and other public or private nonprofit entities (including geographically separate allopathic and osteopathic campuses) that the Secretary determined capable of carrying out the grant. A key condition was that the training activities supported by the equipment had to be conducted by an accredited entity. Practically, that meant either the applicant organization itself needed to be accredited, or the applicant needed an accredited partner organization responsible for the training component.
The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was health. HRSA anticipated making a large number of awards (expected awards: 200) from a sizable total funding pool estimated at $50,000,000. Individual award sizes ranged from a floor of $5,000 to a ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for resource-limited programs seeking to modernize or expand training capacity through equipment purchases.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted on April 26, 2010, with an original closing date of May 17, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of May 25, 2010. The announcement was later archived on July 24, 2010. For access issues or application assistance, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone contact options.
In summary, HRSA 10-237 was an ARRA-era equipment grant aimed at quickly strengthening the infrastructure behind physician assistant training in primary care. Rather than funding broad program operations, the emphasis was on tangible equipment investments that could expand training throughput, improve the realism and effectiveness of clinical education, and ultimately support the larger federal goal of increasing access to primary care by producing a stronger, better-prepared PA workforce.
