Opportunity Summary:
The Health Workforce Research Center (HWRC) Program is a cooperative agreement grant run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis (CFDA 93.300). Its core aim is to expand the supply of high quality, impartial, and policy-relevant research on the US health workforce so that decision makers at the federal, state, and local levels can better understand workforce needs and make more informed choices that support access to efficient, high quality care. A central emphasis of the program is translating research into practical, non-technical products that can be used by policymakers, planners, and other stakeholders, rather than producing academic work that is difficult to apply.
The opportunity supports two related functions. First, Research HWRCs are expected to carry out policy-oriented research on health workforce issues, specifically through collecting, analyzing, and reporting data, and then synthesizing findings into reports that are easy for a non-technical policy audience to understand. These centers are intended to leverage the expertise of established researchers to deepen understanding of critical workforce topics while also expanding the analytic scope and capacity of HRSA's Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr). Research products are not developed in isolation; they are to be created and disseminated in consultation with BHPr and other decision makers so the work stays aligned with real policy questions and emerging needs.
Second, the program allows for up to one Technical Assistance (TA) HWRC. This TA-focused center is designed to help state, regional, and local entities strengthen their ability to work with health workforce data. Typical recipients of assistance include state workforce planning offices, state legislatures, labor departments, and education departments. The assistance can cover practical support related to data collection, analysis, and reporting, with the expectation that the TA HWRC will implement and manage these initiatives and produce summary reports describing the assistance provided and what was learned, again in consultation with BHPr. In other words, the TA component is meant to build usable capacity in the field, not just produce research outputs.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using the cooperative agreement instrument, which generally signals an active federal role during the period of performance, including collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and dissemination. The opportunity anticipated three awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted November 26, 2012, with an original and final closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of March 8, 2013, meaning it is no longer open but remains a useful reference for similar HRSA workforce research solicitations.
Eligibility is broad but targeted to organizations with the capacity to conduct and translate workforce research or deliver technical assistance. Eligible applicants include state governments and state workforce investment boards, public health or health professions schools, academic health centers, and other appropriate public or private nonprofit entities. The listing also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits, along with eligible Native American tribal governments and certain tribal organizations. The overall intent is to fund organizations that can produce credible, unbiased analysis and communicate it clearly to policymakers and workforce planners.
For applicants or interested parties who need official details, HRSA provided the full announcement link through its grants portal and offered support via the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the solicitation electronically.
