Opportunity Summary:
The New Access Points (NAP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-009) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS-HRSA) under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.527). It is designed to fund the creation of new health center service delivery sites, referred to as New Access Points, that expand access to comprehensive primary health care in communities with significant unmet need. The central aim is to improve health outcomes for underserved and vulnerable populations by increasing the availability of high-quality, culturally competent, community-based primary care services in the proposed service area.
The opportunity focuses on operational support for organizations that will function as Health Center Program-funded providers. NAP awards are intended to help establish or expand service delivery capacity so that patients who face barriers such as low income, lack of insurance, geographic isolation, or other forms of medical underservice can receive routine and preventive care, chronic disease management, and related primary care services. The overall emphasis is not just on adding a clinic location, but on ensuring that services are comprehensive, patient-centered, and responsive to the cultural and practical needs of the community being served.
HRSA positions the NAP initiative within the broader impact of the Health Center Program nationwide. Collectively, Health Center Program grantees form a large network that serves as a key access point for care in medically underserved areas and for medically vulnerable groups across the United States and its territories. At the time of the announcement, the program funded nearly 1,400 health centers operating more than 9,800 service delivery sites spanning every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. The scale of this network is highlighted by the program serving nearly 23 million patients in 2014, including large numbers of uninsured and medically underserved individuals, through comprehensive and culturally competent primary health care services.
From an applicant standpoint, the funding announcement indicates that the FOA lays out key administrative and competitive elements, including eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors used to evaluate and select applications. While the eligibility field is broadly listed as “Others,” applicants are directed to consult the FOA’s “Additional Information on Eligibility” section for the specific organizational eligibility rules and conditions. The funding instrument is a grant, and HRSA anticipated making about 75 awards under this competition. The published closing date for applications was June 17, 2016 (original and current closing dates aligned), and the opportunity was posted on April 18, 2016.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity is about building new access points into the Health Center Program’s safety-net infrastructure, targeting the neediest geographic areas and populations. The intended outcome is straightforward: more community-based primary care capacity where it is lacking, delivered in a way that is culturally competent and quality-focused, with the long-term goal of improving overall community health status and reducing disparities for underserved and vulnerable groups.
