Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant opportunity titled "Coordinating Center for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice" (CC IPECP) is designed to create a national hub that strengthens interprofessional education and collaborative practice across the United States, with a clear emphasis on medically underserved areas. The core idea is to move health care away from isolated, profession-by-profession training and service delivery and toward coordinated, team-based care that actively involves patients, families, caregivers, and communities. HRSA envisions the coordinating center as a central source of leadership, technical expertise, and practical support that can help health professions and health systems build the capacity to implement high-quality interprofessional models in both education and real-world clinical settings.
A major focus of the opportunity is building the infrastructure needed to coordinate and scale IPECP efforts nationally. The center is expected to raise the visibility of team-based care by organizing innovative programming, supporting scholarly and evaluation activities, and collecting and analyzing data that demonstrates what works. HRSA also anticipates partnering with other federal agencies, foundations, and public and private organizations, with the coordinating center serving as the convening and operational backbone for that broader collaboration. In practice, this means the CC IPECP would not just promote the concept of interprofessional practice; it would actively generate, coordinate, evaluate, and widely disseminate practice models that are safe, efficient, effective, and equitable, especially as integrated care delivery systems continue to evolve.
The announcement lays out nine interconnected goals that collectively describe what the coordinating center must do. These include providing unbiased, expert guidance to the health care community on IPECP; building and communicating the evidence base to support IPECP as an effective model for engaging patients and communities; identifying high-performing IPECP environments that can serve as exemplar training sites; and preparing faculty and preceptors to teach interprofessional competence through curriculum development and continuous quality improvement. The center is also expected to establish strong measurement and learning systems by collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data metrics that assess IPECP effectiveness, coordinating national scholarly and dissemination efforts, and evaluating how team-based care affects patient, family, and community health outcomes. Finally, it must help expand the field by developing new IPECP programs and strengthening existing ones across the country, while also convening thought leaders, educators, practitioners, and policymakers to build consensus and elevate national attention around the IPECP agenda.
Workforce development is a key theme throughout. The grant frames IPECP as a workforce strategy to improve the ability of health professionals to function effectively on interprofessional teams. The expectation is that people from multiple professional backgrounds will train and practice together so they can deliver coordinated services across settings, resulting in higher-quality care and better outcomes. The center is meant to support the creation of a workforce prepared for transformed systems of care where collaboration, shared accountability, and patient-centered planning are standard rather than exceptional.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding opportunity is a discretionary HRSA program using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means substantial federal involvement and collaboration during project implementation. HRSA expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000. Cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 93.622 (Affordable Care Act Coordinating Center for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice). The original posting date was June 1, 2012, with a closing date of July 20, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on September 18, 2012.
Eligibility is structured around partnerships and consortia rather than single standalone entities. Applicants must represent a consortium or partnership such as a health professions school working with a health care facility, and the partnership should include multiple health professions education programs with at least one team-based practice setting as a central partner. Eligible organizations are those recognized under the Public Health Service Act authorities cited in the announcement: Title VII, Section 747(a) and Title VIII, Section 831. Examples include accredited public or nonprofit private hospitals; schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine; academically affiliated physician assistant training programs; schools of nursing; health care facilities; and partnerships among these entities, as long as the applicant can demonstrate capability to carry out the required coordinating center functions.
Overall, the CC IPECP opportunity is aimed at creating a single national coordinating center that can organize the field, strengthen training and practice linkages, produce credible evidence and metrics, and accelerate adoption of effective interprofessional, team-based care models, particularly in communities that face the greatest access and health outcome challenges.
