The National Coordinating Center for Accelerating Primary Care Association Technical Assistance and Training Impact Cooperative Agreement is a funding opportunity provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This initiative aims to enhance the capacity of Primary Care Associations (PCAs) to improve the operational and clinical efficiency of health centers. By fostering PCA collaboration, engagement, and the sharing of best practices, the program seeks to strengthen technical assistance and training efforts that ultimately support improved healthcare delivery.

This cooperative agreement is classified under the discretionary funding category, meaning the awarding agency has the discretion to determine which applications receive funding. The primary funding activity category for this opportunity is health, with a focus on non-financial and technical assistance to health centers. The program is designed to facilitate a national-level approach to technical assistance, ensuring that health centers have access to the tools and strategies needed to enhance service delivery and patient care.

The estimated total funding available for this opportunity is $1,000,000. HRSA expects to distribute up to 20 awards under this program. However, specific details regarding the award ceiling and award floor amounts have not been provided. The program does not require cost-sharing or matching funds, making it financially accessible to eligible applicants.

Eligibility for this grant includes a wide range of organizations, including public entities, institutions of higher education, tribes and tribal organizations, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. These entities are expected to have the capacity and expertise to contribute to the program’s goals by providing technical assistance and training to PCAs and affiliated health centers.

The estimated timeline for this funding opportunity includes an anticipated posting date of April 30, 2025, with applications due by June 30, 2025. Award announcements are expected to be made before the estimated project start date of September 1, 2025.
