Opportunity Summary:
The National Organizations for State and Local Officials (NOSLO) opportunity (HRSA-11-169) was a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to work through national nonprofit organizations that already have strong, long-standing relationships with state and local decision-makers. The central idea was to use trusted national organizations representing state and local officials as a vehicle to deliver practical training, technical assistance, and information sharing that would strengthen how primary care and public health efforts are planned, coordinated, and implemented across states and communities, with a clear emphasis on underserved urban and rural populations and on advancing health equity.
The program had three main purposes. First, it aimed to engage national organizations to provide training and technical assistance that promotes primary care and public health initiatives for the constituencies those organizations serve, essentially helping state and local leaders understand and adopt effective approaches. Second, it sought to build the capacity of key state and local actors and systems, including state and local health departments, Primary Care Organizations (PCOs), small rural hospitals, State Medicaid agencies, and legislatures, by facilitating information exchanges and spreading strategies that support both public- and private-sector health improvement initiatives at the state and local level. Third, it focused on producing technical assistance materials and training activities that directly benefit health centers delivering care in underserved communities, recognizing that frontline safety-net providers often need actionable tools, policy guidance, and operational support to respond to changing health needs and reforms.
NOSLO also laid out a set of broad, interrelated goals that framed what awardees were expected to help drive nationally. One major goal was integrating primary care and public health activities and examining the issues that shape care delivery in underserved settings, including both rural and urban communities. Another was improving public health programs across national, state, and local levels by partnering with governmental entities and programs that influence population health and health policy development. The opportunity also emphasized the use of indicators or markers of integration between primary care and public health systems, including the creation or strengthening of multi-stakeholder coalitions that align with larger national and regional health and human services initiatives. In addition, it prioritized cross-cutting issues that affect state and local governments, such as policy analysis, data analysis, and environmental scans related to emerging health reform developments. Finally, it encouraged leveraging strategic objectives that commonly sit at the state and local level, including workforce development for safety-net providers, health information technology and health information exchange, health equity initiatives, and financing or funding mechanisms tied to safety-net programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
In terms of the funding structure, this was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals a more active federal role in collaboration, guidance, and involvement during the project period. HRSA expected to make four awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1.7 million, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 6, 2011, with a closing date of July 6, 2011, and it was later archived on September 4, 2011.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit national service organizations capable of providing training and technical assistance on a nationwide basis and able to demonstrate the infrastructure and capacity needed to carry out the work (systems, leadership, and resources). Importantly, applicants needed to be national in scope and to have established, long-term relationships with key state and local partners, including state legislatures; state government entities such as Primary Care Offices, State Rural Health Associations, and State Offices of Rural Health; state and local health departments; state policymakers; and local county and city government entities. In practice, this meant the program was intended for organizations already embedded in state and local policy and implementation networks, positioned to convene stakeholders, translate federal and national priorities into usable state and local actions, and spread effective practices across jurisdictions.
