Opportunity Summary:

The Grants to States for Loan Repayment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-066) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its core purpose is to help states operate or expand State Loan Repayment Programs (SLRPs) that repay educational loans for eligible health practitioners. In exchange for this financial support, participating practitioners must provide full-time clinical services for at least two years in federally designated Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), which are communities identified as having shortages of health professionals.

This opportunity was structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the health funding activity category and anticipated making about 34 awards. The estimated total funding available was $10,000,000. A key feature of this program is that it included a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning states were expected to contribute non-federal funds to match or complement the federal award as part of operating their loan repayment initiatives.

Eligibility to apply was limited to governmental jurisdictions rather than individual clinicians or private organizations. Eligible applicants included the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Importantly, the loan repayment program funded through this grant had to be administered directly by a state agency, which underscores that HRSA intended the program to be managed at the state government level with oversight and accountability housed in public administration.

From a timing and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on April 22, 2010, with a closing date of May 28, 2010 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The announcement was later archived on July 27, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.165, listed as the Grants to States for Loan Repayment Program, which is useful for tracking the program in federal assistance listings and related reporting.
