Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, HRSA-10-189, is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Recovery Act (ARRA) funding announcement under the broader Equipment to Enhance Training for Health Professionals (EETHP) Equipment Initiative. The EETHP initiative is a coordinated effort that spans 21 separate health professional training programs authorized under Titles III, VII, and VIII of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Although the initiative has shared, overall goals, HRSA issued a different funding announcement for each eligible program because applicants must meet the specific statutory and program requirements tied to the particular training authority they are using. This specific announcement is limited to applicants seeking equipment support aligned with the Training in Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry (TPCMD) program, and the guidance in this version is focused specifically on physician assistant (PA) training.
At its core, the opportunity provides grant funding specifically for purchasing health professions training equipment that strengthens training capacity and improves the quality of education for future primary care clinicians. The equipment requested is expected to directly support the activities and objectives of the TPCMD program, which is designed to improve access to care by bolstering training pipelines in primary care. TPCMD emphasizes preparation of clinicians in family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics, along with primary care physician assistants and general and pediatric dentistry. Within TPCMD, HRSA supports a range of training-related areas such as academic administrative units, residency training, predoctoral training, faculty development, physician assistant training, and general and pediatric dental residency training. Under this announcement, applicants should frame their equipment purchases in terms of how they enhance PA education and contribute to the broader access-to-care purpose of primary care workforce development.
Eligibility is not restricted to existing TPCMD awardees. An organization does not need to already hold a TPCMD grant to apply, but it must be eligible to apply under the TPCMD program rules. Eligible applicants include public or nonprofit private hospitals, accredited public or nonprofit private schools of allopathic or osteopathic medicine, and other public or nonprofit private entities that the Secretary determines are capable of carrying out the grant. The notice also indicates that additional eligibility detail is contained in the program guidance, meaning applicants would be expected to confirm that their organizational structure, accreditation status where applicable, and training role fit the TPCMD PA training intent.
From a funding perspective, this is a discretionary grant in the Recovery Act funding activity category, with an estimated total program funding amount of $50,000,000 and an expectation of about 200 awards. Individual awards range from a floor of $5,000 to a ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for training programs that need capital equipment but may not have available institutional funds to match federal dollars. The timeline in the announcement reflects that it was posted on February 26, 2010, created on March 6, 2010, and had an application closing date of March 26, 2010, with an archive date of May 25, 2010.
In practical terms, a competitive application under this announcement would be expected to make a clear case that the requested equipment is essential to training physician assistants for primary care practice, that it will be used in a structured educational or clinical training environment, and that it advances the TPCMD mission of strengthening the primary care workforce and improving access to care. Because this opportunity is strictly about equipment, the narrative typically needs to connect each major purchase to measurable training improvements such as increased learner throughput, improved simulation or clinical skills training, expanded training sites or modalities, modernization of instructional infrastructure, or enhanced capacity to train students in settings aligned with primary care needs.
