About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration operates the Affordable Care Act Expansion of Physician Assistant Training Program (CFDA 93.514), a five-year initiative to increase primary care physician assistant workforce capacity; the most recent grant awards were disbursed on September 30, 2010.
This program is not actively pursuing new grant awards. All documented activity—29 Project Grants totaling $28 million in federal obligations—occurred in a single funding cohort in 2010. The program funded physician assistant education programs that committed to sustaining increased first-year student enrollment for five consecutive years. Awards supported higher enrollment through new student stipends, educational expenses, reasonable living expenses, and indirect costs. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and completion dates for the 2010 awards ranged from 2014 to 2017, indicating the funding cycle concluded over a decade ago.
Recent award magnitudes ranged from $204 thousand to $2.046 million, with a median distribution suggesting individual awards typically fell in the $700 thousand to $1.9 million range. Representative 2010 awards included Project Grant T88HP20927 at $1.791 million, Project Grant T88HP20931 at $1.98 million, and Project Grant T88HP20940 at $2.046 million. HRSA was the sole funding agency across the entire program portfolio.
The program operated as Project Grants exclusively. No recent grant opportunities are available. Given the absence of awards or posted solicitations since 2010, this program is effectively inactive and not a viable pursuit target for current business development activity.
