About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration funds state-level health insurance access implementation through the State Health Access Program (CFDA 93.256), with the most recent grant award issued on September 1, 2011.
The program is no longer actively disbursing new awards. The last grant was awarded over 15 years ago, and no recent grant opportunities are posted. Prior to closure, the program supported states implementing health insurance access designs for uninsured populations. Representative funded activities included multi-year state implementation grants: a $16.2 million project grant awarded in September 2009 for statewide health access programming, a $17.3 million award in the same round, and a $4.5 million implementation grant in September 2011. The program also funded preliminary state planning grants at smaller scale.
Between 2000 and 2011, the program distributed 114 total awards totaling $141.5 million in federal dollars, with $144.1 million in combined federal and non-federal obligation. HRSA was the sole funding agency. Award frequency was uneven: a spike of 31 awards in 2005 (mostly implementation grants ranging from roughly $166 thousand to $1.1 million), followed by minimal activity in 2006 and 2008, then a second wave of 13 awards in 2009 at substantially larger average scale ($1.2 million to $18 million), and only three awards across 2010–2011. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (71 percent of awards) with Block Grants comprising the remaining 29 percent, though block grants frequently carried negative obligations indicating de-obligations or adjustments.
This program should be marked inactive pending verification that it has not resumed. No solicitation pathway is currently available.
