Opportunity Summary:
The Black Lung Clinics Grant Program opportunity (HRSA-14-045) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It sits under CFDA 93.965, Coal Miners Respiratory Impairment Treatment Clinics and Services, and it is part of the broader Black Lung/Coal Miner Clinics Program (BLCP). The announcement invites applications for two connected funding tracks: the Black Lung Clinics Grant Program (BLCGP) and the Black Lung Centers of Excellence (BLCE). Across both tracks, the core purpose is to reduce illness and death linked to coal mine dust lung disease by improving access to services for miners and by strengthening the wider systems that protect miner health.
The program is framed around two main strategies. First, it supports the delivery of direct clinical services for coal miners affected by occupational lung disease, which can include evaluation and care aimed at reducing complications and improving health outcomes. Second, it focuses on strengthening public health infrastructure related to coal miner health and safety. That infrastructure piece goes beyond individual patient care and includes providing technical assistance to organizations that deliver direct services, building capacity in local and regional health systems, and improving the knowledge base of the broader medical community and the public so coal mine dust lung disease is better recognized, addressed, and prevented where possible.
Funding for this specific announcement was estimated at $6,702,389 in total, with an expectation of about 15 awards. The notice does not specify an award floor or ceiling (both listed as 0), which typically signals that applicants needed to rely on the full funding announcement for details on budget expectations, allowable costs, and any practical award sizing norms used by HRSA for this program. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is intentionally broad. Applications were open to any state or public or private entity that meets the requirements of the specific program track, including faith-based and community-based organizations. Federally recognized Tribes and Tribal organizations are eligible as well, as long as the proposed grant activities are conducted within federally recognized Tribal areas, and documentation of federally recognized status must be included as part of the application materials. The announcement also makes clear that the program requirements can be met by a state, a single entity within a state, or a newly formed consortium, such as a clinic or hospital partnering with a community-based organization and a faith-based organization. In addition to the 50 states, eligible applicants could be located in Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Compact of Free Association jurisdictions (the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia), provided they meet the program eligibility requirements.
Key dates included a posting date of February 3, 2014, with the original closing date of March 14, 2014, later extended to March 28, 2014. The opportunity was archived on April 12, 2014. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with support available through the HRSA Call Center at 877-464-4772 or by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
