About this opportunity
The State Loan Repayment Program (State LRP), administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), seeks to provide grants to states, U.S. territories, and tribal governments to support educational loan repayment programs for primary care providers working in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). The program aims to recruit and retain healthcare professionals in underserved communities by offering loan repayment assistance in exchange for service commitments. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and tribal organizations, with a focus on primary care disciplines such as physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, and mental health professionals. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria including purpose and need, response to program objectives, impact, organizational capabilities, and support requested. The federal grant opportunity is open with a due date of January 12, 2026, and applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov.
The fiscal year 2026 opportunity will distribute up to $20,000,000 through approximately 50 grants, with individual awards ranging up to $1,000,000 per recipient. The program will fund a three-year period of performance from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029, with maximum loan repayment awards of $75,000 for primary care providers and $50,000 for dental and mental health providers. Applicants must demonstrate a 1:1 non-federal match and comply with specific administrative guidelines, with recipients required to maintain grant accounting records for three years after submitting the Federal Financial Report. The program targets healthcare professionals who commit to serving two years full-time or half-time at approved sites within designated Health Professional Shortage Areas.
Synopsis
