About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funds state loan repayment programs to support health professionals serving Health Professional Shortage Areas through CFDA 93.547, with the most recent grant award dated September 1, 2018. This program has not posted new grant opportunities; no recent solicitations are present in the source.
The National Health Service Corps funds loan repayment grants to states enabling them to recruit and retain primary care physicians, dentists, and mental and behavioral health professionals in medically underserved areas. Recent awards document funding for state-administered loan repayment initiatives targeting health workforce shortage designations across all states, territories, and possessions. The program operates exclusively through Project Grants, which comprise 98 percent of the assistance-type portfolio, with a single Cooperative Agreement representing the remaining 2 percent.
HRSA is the sole funding agency under this program, accounting for all 55 awards and the full $125.2 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Award activity has declined significantly; the program funded 14 awards in 2010 and 10 in 2014, but only 6 awards in 2018. No awards have been disbursed since 2018—a gap of eight years—indicating the program is not currently active in making new grants.
Representative recent awards illustrate the typical scale: Project Grant H56HP31916 awarded $850 thousand in September 2018, Project Grant H56CR25037 awarded $3.9 million in September 2012, and Project Grant H56HP19787 awarded $6.4 million in September 2010. Awards to states for loan repayment generally range from several hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars per award.
The program's funding history extends back to 1988, but recent activity suggests dormancy. Pursuit of this program should account for the absence of any documented grant opportunities in the current cycle and the eight-year hiatus since the last disbursement.
