Opportunity Summary:
The State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) Cooperative Agreements (HRSA-10-115) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), specifically through its Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC). It is grounded in Section 330(l) of the Public Health Service Act, which allows the federal government to fund and partner with organizations that can deliver technical and other non-financial assistance to health centers. The basic intent is to strengthen health centers and help potential or existing health centers operate more effectively, meet federal program requirements, and better address community health needs by making smart use of Section 330 resources.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means HRSA expects an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant. Through these cooperative agreements, funded organizations are expected to provide training and technical assistance (often shortened to T/TA) to health centers across a defined state or regional footprint. The assistance described in the announcement focuses on practical areas that directly affect health center performance and compliance: fiscal and program management support (including program requirements), operational and administrative support, performance improvement activities, and guidance on what Section 330 resources are available and how to apply them to local health needs. The larger purpose is to advance the missions of HRSA and BPHC by improving the capacity, stability, and effectiveness of health centers serving medically underserved communities.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $1,800,000 in total, with an expectation of three awards. The CFDA program number listed is 93.129 (Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have funds available to meet a match. The opportunity was posted on October 7, 2009, and closed on November 9, 2009, with an archive date of January 19, 2010, indicating it is a historical funding announcement rather than an open competition today.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. While the announcement states that public, nonprofit, and for-profit entities may apply, applicants must be able to provide T/TA on a statewide or regional basis to community-based and faith-based organizations. A key eligibility expectation is that applicants already have active experience working with health centers or similar community-based providers, particularly those with comparable missions and governance structures, or that they work on health-center-related issues. The competition is described as limited, intended for current State and Regional PCAs and/or organizations working with BPHC-supported programs or similar providers. The geographic focus for this round is specifically tied to the states of Alabama, Arizona, and Nevada, suggesting HRSA was aiming to ensure strong PCA-type technical assistance coverage in those locations.
In practical terms, this opportunity is about building the support infrastructure around health centers, not funding direct patient care. HRSA is investing in organizations that can train, advise, and coach health centers so they can improve management systems, strengthen operations, stay compliant with federal expectations, and continuously improve performance. The anticipated result is better-run health centers that can more effectively use federal resources and deliver care that matches the needs of the communities they serve.
For reference and administrative support, the announcement lists an additional information link through the HRSA grants site and provides HRSA Call Center contact options for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and the HRSA call-in numbers).
