Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Recovery Act - Health Information Technology Implementation for Health Center Controlled Networks" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-10-154) was a one-time American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding initiative administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its core purpose was to strengthen the organizational, operational, and information technology capacity of existing Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) grantees so they could deliver expanded health information technology (HIT) services. In practical terms, the program was designed to help HCCNs better support community health centers that were purchasing and rolling out electronic health records (EHR) and other HIT systems using ARRA-funded acquisitions. The emphasis was not simply on buying technology, but on building the shared services, expertise, and infrastructure that allow multiple safety-net clinics to implement and use EHRs effectively and consistently.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial, with an estimated total of $88,000,000 and an expectation of 36 awards. The program fell under the Recovery Act funding activity category and was tied to CFDA number 93.703 (ARRA - Grants to Health Center Programs). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive or use the award. The opportunity was posted on December 9, 2009, with the application closing date set for February 5, 2010, and it was later archived on April 6, 2010, reflecting its time-limited Recovery Act nature.
Eligibility was restricted to specific HRSA-funded entities tied to the federal health center program. Applicants were limited to Section 330-funded health center grantees, including Community Health Centers and specialized health center programs such as Migrant Health Centers (330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care, as well as qualifying Health Center Controlled Networks referenced under Section 330(e)(1)(C) of the Public Health Service Act. This focus ensured that the funding directly strengthened the safety-net primary care infrastructure and the network organizations that provide shared HIT services across multiple health center sites.
Overall, this grant opportunity aimed to accelerate and improve EHR and HIT implementation across community health centers by investing in the network-level capacity that makes large-scale adoption workable: centralized technical assistance, implementation support, training, integration, and other services that help health centers move from acquisition to meaningful, reliable day-to-day use of health IT. For applicants or the public seeking the original announcement details at the time, HRSA provided an online listing and also offered support through the HRSA Call Center via email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone (877-464-4772).
