Opportunity Summary:
The State and Regional Primary Care Associations (PCA) Cooperative Agreements opportunity (HRSA-12-183) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on strengthening the network of Section 330 health centers and organizations preparing to become health centers. The specific competition described here targets Alabama and the Pacific Islands, with HRSA looking to fund state or regional organizations that can deliver coordinated training and technical assistance (often called T/TA) across a defined geographic area. The overall intent is practical: build local capacity so that community-based health providers can meet federal health center program requirements, operate more effectively, and improve performance over time.
Under this cooperative agreement, award recipients are expected to carry out two main categories of work. First are statewide or regional health center training and technical assistance activities driven by documented needs in the area. These activities concentrate on two core topics: Program Requirements (helping current or prospective health centers understand and comply with Health Center Program expectations) and Performance Improvement (supporting operational and clinical improvements, including quality, governance, finance, and other areas tied to health center performance). Second are statewide or regional program assistance activities that respond either to local priorities or to HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) priorities. In practice, this means the funded PCA is not only offering general support but also aligning its assistance with federal and regional initiatives, emerging compliance issues, and targeted improvement efforts.
HRSA anticipated making about two awards under this announcement, with approximately $900,000 in total funding available annually, contingent on appropriations. The projected period referenced in the announcement spans federal fiscal years 2012 through 2016, indicating HRSA intended multi-year cooperative relationships rather than a one-time project. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a more active federal role than a standard grant; HRSA typically remains substantially involved through collaboration, guidance, and coordination tied to project goals and federal priorities.
Eligibility is broad and inclusive, provided the applicant can genuinely serve as a statewide or regional provider of T/TA to community-based organizations. Eligible applicants include domestic public or private entities, nonprofit or for-profit organizations, and explicitly include faith-based and community-based organizations as well as Tribes and Tribal Organizations. HRSA also noted that applications could come from new organizations or from groups already funded under Section 330(l), which is the statutory authority associated with primary care association support. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, reducing barriers for organizations that may not have non-federal funds available to meet a match.
Key administrative details include a posted date of May 17, 2012, and an application closing date of June 20, 2012 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was later archived on August 19, 2012. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.129, titled Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers, which reflects the program emphasis on support services rather than direct clinical service expansion. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, HRSA directed inquiries to the HRSA Contact Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided the phone line 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA).
