About this opportunity
The Health Resources and Services Administration is forecasting cooperative agreement funding to establish Health Workforce Research Centers that conduct policy-oriented research on health care workforce composition, trends, distribution, and workforce-related policy issues, with no specific application deadline posted. Eligible applicants include public and private higher education institutions, state governments, state workforce investment boards, public health or health professions schools, academic health centers, community-based health facilities, and other appropriate public or private nonprofit entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations; federally recognized Indian tribal governments and Native American organizations may apply if otherwise eligible.
The program operates under CFDA 93.300 (National Center for Health Workforce Analysis). Funded projects must collect and analyze data on health workforce supply and demand, conduct applied research on emerging health workforce challenges, and disseminate findings to inform federal, state, and local policy decisions. Technical assistance on data collection and reporting to regional and local entities is a required activity.
Recent awards show variation in scope and duration: a five-year cooperative agreement to establish a consortium conducting eight workforce research projects annually; a five-year regional center award at $6.04 million; and a three-year award supporting interprofessional medication-assisted treatment curriculum development at $900 thousand annually. The program awarded 60 grants cumulatively from 2002 through 2022, with significant year-to-year volatility.
Nonfederal peer review evaluates applications on purpose and need, response to program purpose, impact, organizational capacity, and support requested. Award notification occurs approximately 120–180 days after receipt. No cost share requirement is specified in the current forecast.
