Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity HRSA-14-032, titled "State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) Cooperative Agreements for Alaska, Georgia, and Wyoming," is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the network of HRSA-funded health centers by supporting organizations that can deliver training and technical assistance (T/TA) at the state or regional level. The focus is specifically on current and prospective Section 330 health centers, which are community-based providers that meet federal program requirements tied to governance, service delivery, and accountability while serving medically underserved populations. Through these cooperative agreements, HRSA aims to build local capacity so health centers and similar community providers can better comply with federal expectations, improve operations, and advance quality and performance outcomes.
The work supported under this opportunity is organized into two major categories. First, awardees are expected to carry out statewide or regional health center T/TA activities that respond to identified needs in two key areas: Program Requirements and Performance Improvement. In practical terms, that means helping health centers and health center applicants understand and implement HRSA program expectations, and helping them strengthen systems that drive measurable improvement, such as clinical quality, operational efficiency, patient access, and other performance-related priorities. Second, awardees must provide statewide or regional program assistance aligned with statewide or regional priorities and/or HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) priorities. This portion is meant to ensure that assistance is not generic, but targeted to pressing issues in Alaska, Georgia, and Wyoming, while also staying aligned with federal policy and program direction.
HRSA anticipated making about three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total of about $2.5 million per year, contingent on appropriations, covering the federal fiscal years 2014 through 2016. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals more substantial federal involvement in the funded work, such as closer collaboration, shared planning, or ongoing technical input from HRSA compared to a more hands-off grant structure. The opportunity lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not be able to contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes public, nonprofit, and for-profit entities, provided they can deliver training and technical assistance on a statewide or regional basis to community and faith-based organizations in Alaska, Georgia, and Wyoming. The announcement notes that interested applicants must already be working with health centers or with other community-based providers whose missions and governance structures resemble those of health centers, or must be engaged in health-center-related issues. The eligible applicant types explicitly include entities such as state and local governments, special district governments, tribal governments (including federally recognized tribes) and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities, school districts, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, private and public institutions of higher education, and small businesses and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are also listed). The assistance supported by this funding falls under CFDA 93.129, identified as Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers, emphasizing that the core deliverable is expertise, guidance, training, and support rather than direct clinical service delivery.
Key dates for the original competition show the announcement posted on August 14, 2013, with an application closing date of September 18, 2013, and an archive date of November 17, 2013. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the source data, which generally indicates that specific per-award limits were not captured in that field and that applicants needed to rely on the full funding announcement for detailed budget expectations and constraints. For access issues or applicant support, HRSA directed prospective applicants to the HRSA Call Center at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal.
