Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 057
The State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) Cooperative Agreements opportunity (HRSA-17-057) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The core purpose is to fund State and Regional Primary Care Associations to deliver training and technical assistance (often referred to as T/TA) to health centers so they can strengthen operations, improve clinical quality, and better meet the needs of the communities they serve. The program is authorized under section 330(l) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b), which is the statutory basis HRSA uses to support this kind of statewide and regional support infrastructure for the Health Center Program.
Under this announcement, HRSA planned to fund up to 52 organizations through cooperative agreements. A cooperative agreement is a federal funding mechanism that typically involves substantial involvement from the federal agency compared to a standard grant. In practice, that usually means HRSA may take a more active role in shaping expectations, coordinating activities across awardees, and ensuring that training and technical assistance align with national program priorities and performance goals.
The intended beneficiaries of the support are current and prospective Health Center Program organizations, including both HRSA-funded health centers and designated "look-alikes." Specifically, the announcement targets: (1) existing and potential Health Center Program award recipients funded under section 330(e), (g), (h), and/or (i) of the Public Health Service Act, and (2) Health Center Program look-alikes, which are organizations that meet health center requirements and receive official look-alike designation under the Social Security Act (referenced in the notice under 42 U.S.C. 1395x(aa)(4)(B) and 42 U.S.C. 1396d(l)(2)(B)(iii)). The emphasis on "existing and potential" award recipients indicates that the T/TA scope is not limited to already-funded health centers; it can also support organizations preparing to become health centers or to pursue HRSA funding or designation.
The work supported by these cooperative agreements centers on building health centers capacity to provide comprehensive, high-quality primary health care. That includes strengthening clinical and operational performance through training, hands-on technical assistance, and problem-solving support. HRSA also highlights that awardees may deliver assistance directly and through collaborative partnerships, signaling that successful applicants are expected to coordinate with other organizations and stakeholders (for example, other training providers, state or regional partners, and networks that can extend reach and expertise). The overarching policy direction is to help health centers improve health outcomes for individuals and communities in a way that aligns with the Department of Health and Human Services National Quality Strategy, a framework focused on improving care quality, patient experience, and population health while making care more efficient and effective.
Key administrative details from the posting include the opportunity category (discretionary), the funding instrument type (cooperative agreement), the activity area (health), and the CFDA number (93.129), which is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier used to classify federal assistance programs. The listing shows an expected 52 awards and an "award ceiling" field of 0, which generally indicates the public summary did not specify a maximum per-award dollar cap in that particular data field (the detailed notice of funding opportunity often clarifies typical award amounts, funding formulas, or limits elsewhere). Eligibility is shown broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the full eligibility section for clarification, which is common for programs that expect applications from specific types of associations or entities that meet defined criteria.
The timeline information included in the source data indicates the opportunity was created on October 13, 2016, with an original closing date of December 12, 2016. In short, HRSA used this funding round to support a nationwide network of state and regional PCA organizations that can provide consistent, high-impact training and technical assistance to health centers and look-alikes, ultimately reinforcing the capacity of the Health Center Program to deliver accessible, high-quality primary care and improve community health outcomes in alignment with federal quality goals.Apply for HRSA 17 057
