About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration funded Centers of Excellence programs (CFDA 93.415) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, with the most recent grant award disbursed on September 1, 2009.
This program is not currently active. All eight grants in the portfolio were awarded in 2009, with project completion dates between April 2010 and August 2012. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no awards have been made since September 2009—more than 17 years ago. The program operated as a time-limited ARRA initiative and does not represent an ongoing funding line.
When operational, the program supported health professions education excellence at eligible schools serving underrepresented minority students and faculty. The scope encompassed institutional capacity-building for diversity in healthcare education, culturally competent workforce development, and health disparities research and training. Awards included both multi-year institutional grants and shorter-term cooperative agreements funding specific conferences and educational events focused on birth defects, developmental disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders.
The portfolio consisted predominantly of Cooperative Agreements (75 percent of awards, six total) alongside Project Grants (25 percent of awards, two total). All $5 million in combined federal obligations came from a single funding source: HHS Health Resources and Services Administration.
Award magnitudes ranged substantially. The two Project Grants were sizable institutional commitments, with obligated amounts of $2.1 million and $2.7 million respectively, both spanning three-year performance periods. The six Cooperative Agreements were smaller, ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 and typically supporting single-year conferences and professional development events.
Do not pursue this program. ARRA Centers of Excellence concluded more than fifteen years ago and represents no open or forward funding opportunity.
Objective and description

As funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the Centers of Excellence program assists eligible schools in supporting programs of excellence in health professions education for underrepresented minority(URM) individuals. The COE program is a catalyst for institutionalizing a commitment to URM students/faculty and to serve as a national resource and educational center for diversity and minority health issue. Additionally, the COE program will help to strengthen the national capacity to produce a culturally competent healthcare workforce whose diversity is representative of the United States Population.
