Opportunity Summary:
The Primary Care Services Resource Coordination and Development grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 14-001) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to help states and territories strengthen how primary care is planned, coordinated, and expanded. Rather than paying for clinics to provide direct medical care, the program focuses on the statewide infrastructure work that makes access to primary care more organized and sustainable, especially in communities facing provider shortages. In practice, it supports a central coordinating function within a state that aligns primary care delivery priorities with workforce recruitment and retention strategies and with the policies and systems that influence health care access.
A key theme of the opportunity is coordination across many partners. Awardees are expected to work not only with multiple agencies inside state government, but also with external organizations whose rules and decisions shape health services, such as health systems, professional associations, training programs, and other statewide stakeholders. The intent is to reduce fragmentation and make sure recruitment efforts, shortage-area strategies, and primary care access initiatives are pulling in the same direction statewide.
The funding is organized around three overarching goals. First, states are supported in conducting or updating a statewide primary care needs assessment, meaning a structured look at where gaps exist in services, what populations are underserved, and what workforce or system barriers are limiting access. Second, the program emphasizes shortage designation coordination, which generally refers to the work involved in coordinating shortage-area designation activities that help identify and document areas with insufficient provider capacity (often tied to eligibility for other federal and state resources). Third, the opportunity supports technical assistance and collaboration aimed at expanding access to primary care, which can include helping partners understand and use relevant programs, aligning initiatives, sharing data and best practices, and improving statewide planning and coordination mechanisms.
In terms of award structure and scale, HRSA anticipated 54 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $11,000,000. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial federal involvement beyond a standard grant, such as closer programmatic collaboration, guidance, and coordination between HRSA and awardees. The listing is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.130, described as Cooperative Agreements to States/Territories for the Coordination and Development of Primary Care Offices. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the opportunity.
Eligibility is limited to entities operating on a statewide basis within a single state. Cooperative agreements may be made to a state, a state agency, or another statewide public or nonprofit entity that operates solely within one state. This structure reflects the program's purpose: building and maintaining statewide coordination capacity rather than supporting local direct service projects. The original posting date was October 31, 2013, with a closing date of December 31, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived on March 1, 2014.

What is the overall purpose of the program?
The purpose is to support a central coordinating function within a state that aligns primary care delivery priorities with workforce recruitment and retention strategies and with the policies and systems that influence health care access. The intent is to reduce fragmentation and make sure statewide efforts are working toward shared priorities.
Why does the program emphasize coordination across partners?

What does "shortage designation coordination" mean here?
It refers to coordinating shortage-area designation activities that help identify and document areas with insufficient provider capacity.
