Opportunity Summary:

The Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease Prevention Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-209) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support the implementation of patient navigator programs. The core purpose of the program was to help health care organizations put structured navigation services in place so patients, especially those facing barriers to care, could more effectively access preventive services and appropriate follow-up for chronic disease-related needs. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on building or expanding programs where trained navigators guide individuals through complicated health systems, connect them to clinical and supportive services, and reduce common obstacles such as lack of scheduling support, transportation issues, limited health literacy, language barriers, or difficulty coordinating referrals and follow-up care.

This funding opportunity was categorized under the Health activity area and used the grant funding instrument. HRSA anticipated making about nine awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4.2 million. Individual awards could be as high as $500,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The program was posted on May 11, 2010, and the application closing date was June 11, 2010. The opportunity later moved to archive status on August 10, 2010, indicating it was no longer open for applications after that period.

Eligible applicants were primarily organizations positioned to deliver or coordinate direct patient care and navigation services. Eligibility included public and nonprofit health centers, including federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) as defined in federal law; health facilities operated by or under contract with the Indian Health Service (IHS); hospitals; cancer centers; rural health clinics; and academic health centers. The announcement also allowed a nonprofit entity to apply if it entered into a partnership with, or coordinated referrals with, one of the qualifying health centers, clinics, facilities, or hospitals in order to provide patient navigator services. This structure made it possible for community-based nonprofits to participate, as long as there was a clear and functional linkage to clinical sites where patients would receive care and where navigation activities would be integrated into service delivery and referral pathways.

The funding was listed under CFDA number 93.191, which covers the Graduate Psychology Education Program and the Patient Navigator and Chronic Disease Prevention Program. While the CFDA listing includes more than one related program, the specific opportunity described here was focused on patient navigation and chronic disease prevention. The overall intent was to strengthen coordinated, patient-centered support that improves timely access to screenings, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and ongoing management of chronic conditions, while also helping patients move more smoothly among providers and settings when referrals are needed.

For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement details, HRSA provided an online link through its grants portal. HRSA also offered support through its call center for anyone who had difficulty accessing the announcement electronically, with contact options including the HRSA Call Center email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support (877-Go4-HRSA / 877-464-4772, and 301-998-7373).
