Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Health Profession Opportunity Grants for Tribes, Tribal Organizations or Tribal College or University," is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Family Assistance (OFA). It offers cooperative agreements to support demonstration projects that build or strengthen training, education, and career advancement pathways aimed at meeting health care workforce needs. The legal authority for the program comes from Section 2008 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1397), as added by Section 5507 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The central purpose is workforce development in health care: projects are expected to create real, structured opportunities for eligible individuals to earn credentials and gain skills for health care occupations that pay well and are either in high demand or projected to face labor shortages. In practical terms, the program is meant to help participants move into stable health care careers by supporting education and training programs and the related steps needed to enter and progress in those professions. Because these awards are cooperative agreements, applicants should expect active federal involvement and oversight during implementation compared to a standard grant.
Eligibility is limited to Tribal entities and Tribal higher education institutions. Eligible applicants include Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations as defined in Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b). Tribal Colleges and Universities are also eligible, as defined in Section 316(b) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1059c(b)). Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible. The announcement also emphasizes that applicants must consult with and implement their projects in coordination with the entities identified in Section 2008(a)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act, signaling that collaboration and alignment with specified partners or stakeholders is a required element of project design and execution.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $7,500,000 available under this solicitation, with an expectation of making about three awards. Individual award amounts are anticipated to range from a floor of $1,000,000 to a ceiling of $5,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can reduce barriers for organizations that may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OFA-FY-0124 and CFDA 93.093 (Affordable Care Act Health Profession Opportunity Grants). The original posting date was June 21, 2010, with an application closing date of August 5, 2010. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on September 4, 2010, meaning it is a historical solicitation rather than a currently open competition. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, ACF provided support through the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
