Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant opportunity titled "ARRA - Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) - Primary Care Training and Enhancement - Predoctoral Training in Primary Care" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-239) was a discretionary grant competition created under the broader EETHP Equipment Initiative. That initiative bundled 21 different health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service Act, all tied together by a shared purpose: strengthening health workforce education by funding the purchase of training equipment. Even though the overall EETHP concept was consistent across the initiative, HRSA issued separate announcements for each eligible program area because applicants had to meet the specific statutory and program requirements of the particular training program they were applying under.
This specific announcement focused only on entities eligible for the Primary Care Training and Enhancement program, and more specifically on the predoctoral training in primary care track. In practical terms, the grant was meant to help medical education programs improve the quality and capacity of predoctoral primary care training by investing in equipment that directly supports training activities and aligns with the Primary Care Training and Enhancement goals. The underlying workforce aim of the Primary Care Training and Enhancement program is to improve access to care by expanding and strengthening the pipeline of primary care clinicians, especially in Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, and General Pediatrics, as well as primary care Physician Assistants. While the broader Primary Care Training and Enhancement program can support areas such as academic administrative units, residency training, predoctoral training, faculty development, and physician assistant training, this particular competition was explicitly limited to equipment supporting predoctoral primary care training.
The opportunity offered a large pool of funding overall, with an estimated total of $50,000,000 and an expected 200 awards, suggesting HRSA intended to make many relatively modest equipment investments across institutions rather than a small number of very large grants. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $5,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for applicants that might otherwise struggle to fund required match dollars, and made it more feasible for programs to request equipment that could quickly enhance training capacity.
Eligibility was geared toward institutions that can credibly conduct health professions education in primary care. 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 that the Secretary determined capable of carrying out the grant. The announcement also noted accreditation-related flexibility: applicants that were not themselves accredited could still apply if either they or a partner organization was accredited, and in some cases a non-accredited applicant could be considered eligible if the Secretary determined the organization was capable of successfully performing the grant activities. Importantly, applicants did not need to be current HRSA grantees; they only needed to be eligible to apply under the Primary Care Training and Enhancement program rules.
Timing details show this was a time-limited ARRA-era funding opportunity. It was posted April 26, 2010, with a closing date of May 17, 2010, and later archived July 16, 2010. HRSA provided a standard support channel for applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, directing them to the HRSA Call Center via email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) or by phone (877-464-4772, with an alternate number 301-998-7373).
