Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 021
The State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) Cooperative Agreements opportunity (HRSA-20-021) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under CFDA 93.129. It offers cooperative agreements to organizations that will deliver training and technical assistance (often shortened to T/TA) to both existing and prospective Health Center Program award recipients and Health Center Program look-alikes (collectively referred to as health centers). The central purpose is to strengthen the ability of health centers to provide comprehensive, high-quality primary care and to improve community health outcomes by building operational, clinical, and strategic capacity across the health center network.
HRSA planned to fund up to 52 organizations under this announcement. While an "award ceiling" is listed as 0 in the source data (which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in that field rather than that funding is unavailable), the intent of the notice is clear: support a broad national footprint of state and regional entities that can provide hands-on support, coaching, and guidance tailored to health centers needs. Because this is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant. In practical terms, that usually means closer collaboration with HRSA on priorities, deliverables, and performance expectations, along with a focus on measurable improvements tied to program goals.
The funded work is organized around five major goals. First, recipients are expected to help health centers increase access to comprehensive primary care, which can include strategies to expand service capacity, reduce barriers to care, strengthen enabling services, and improve outreach and patient engagement. Second, the program emphasizes accelerating value-based care delivery, meaning PCAs may help health centers transition toward payment and care models that reward quality, outcomes, and efficiency, including improving data use, care coordination, population health management, and performance measurement. Third, the opportunity prioritizes fostering a workforce that can meet current and emerging needs, which can involve training on recruitment and retention, leadership development, team-based care models, and workforce planning to address shortages and changing community health demands. Fourth, recipients are expected to enhance emergency preparedness and response, supporting health centers in planning for and responding to public health emergencies and local disasters through continuity planning, readiness training, and coordination with public health and emergency management partners. Fifth, the program aims to advance clinical quality and performance, which typically includes helping health centers improve clinical outcomes, strengthen quality improvement systems, use evidence-based practices, and enhance reporting and data integrity to drive better results.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public and private entities: state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized Tribal governments and other Tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice. This wide eligibility reflects HRSA's intent to reach organizations positioned to support health centers at the state or regional level, including established primary care associations and other entities with the infrastructure to deliver training, convening, technical support, and peer learning.
Key administrative details in the source data include a creation date of September 9, 2019, and an original application closing date of November 8, 2019. Overall, the opportunity is designed to build a strong, coordinated support system for health centers by funding state and regional organizations that can deliver targeted, practical assistance aligned with HRSA priorities: access expansion, value-based transformation, workforce development, emergency readiness, and continuous quality improvement.Apply for HRSA 20 021
