Opportunity Summary:
The State Health Access Program (SHAP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) intended to help States and territories that are ready to move from planning into implementation of a health insurance coverage initiative for uninsured residents. The program is structured to back real, operational coverage expansions rather than small pilot efforts, and it emphasizes that States should have a clear pathway to continue the work after federal support ends. The authority referenced for this round is the FY 2009 Congressional Appropriations Bill (Public Law 111-8).
SHAP offers two funding tracks designed to match different scopes of coverage expansion. The first is a targeted grant option for States concentrating on specific population groups, with awards generally in the range of $2 million to $4 million per year for up to five years, depending on available funds. The second is a comprehensive grant option aimed at large States or States pursuing broader, more extensive coverage initiatives, with awards typically ranging from $7 million to $10 million per year for up to five years, again contingent on funding availability. Across both tracks, the federal investment is time-limited, and applicants are expected to demonstrate how the program will be financially sustained beyond the five-year project period.
A key condition of the program is that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning States must contribute non-federal resources to support the initiative. The sustainability requirement is also central: applicants are expected to show credible plans for maintaining coverage gains and program operations after SHAP funding concludes. In practical terms, this signals that HRSA is looking for States with committed leadership, a viable financing strategy, and the administrative capacity to implement and maintain coverage expansions rather than relying indefinitely on federal grant dollars.
From an administrative standpoint, eligibility is limited to States and territories, with the Governor formally invited to apply. The Governor may designate an individual or agency to prepare and submit the application, but only a State entity can be the official grant recipient. The opportunity also limits submissions to one application per State, which encourages a single, coordinated statewide proposal rather than competing applications from multiple agencies or regions.
For this particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-226; CFDA 93.256), HRSA anticipated making about 15 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000,000. The opportunity was posted on April 21, 2009, and the application deadline was June 16, 2009, with the notice later archived on August 14, 2009. Assistance was available through the HRSA Call Center for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement, with contact options including email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and phone support via 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) or 301-998-7373.
