Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) Public Health Training Centers (PHTC) Program grant (HRSA-10-181) was a discretionary Recovery Act funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to help eligible public health training entities purchase equipment that strengthens how health professionals are trained. It sat within 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. Even though the initiative shared an overall purpose across programs, this specific announcement was tailored to the statutory and programmatic requirements of the Public Health Training Centers program, meaning the equipment requested needed to clearly support PHTC activities and goals rather than general institutional needs.
The main purpose of the opportunity was straightforward: provide one-time grant support for health professions training equipment that directly enhances training capacity, quality, reach, or effectiveness within the PHTC framework. In practical terms, applicants were expected to propose equipment purchases that strengthen public health workforce training related to preventive medicine, health promotion, disease prevention, and efforts that improve access to and quality of health services, particularly in medically underserved communities. The emphasis on equipment (rather than ongoing operations) reflects the Recovery Act context, where investments were often aimed at quickly improving infrastructure and capacity through tangible purchases.
Eligibility was limited to organizations that would be eligible for the EETHP PHTC grant program. Specifically, eligible applicants included accredited schools of public health or other public or nonprofit private institutions that are accredited to provide graduate or specialized training in public health and that plan, develop, operate, and evaluate projects in the relevant public health areas noted above. Importantly, applicants did not need to already hold a Public Health Training Centers grant at the time of application, but they did need to meet the eligibility standards to apply for the PHTC program. The listing also notes "Others (see text)" in the general eligible applicant field, but the controlling definition is the accreditation- and mission-based eligibility described in the opportunity text.
Financially, HRSA anticipated making about 200 awards nationwide out of an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $5,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute institutional funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was specifically tied to the Recovery Act.
Timing details show 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. HRSA provided an online link for the full announcement and directed applicants needing help accessing it to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and the listed phone numbers.
