About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration funds cooperative agreements under CFDA 93.824 to support Area Health Education Centers Infrastructure Development, with the most recent grant award dated September 1, 2012—fourteen years ago.
This program is not currently active for new funding. No grant awards have been disbursed since 2012, and no recent grant opportunities are present in the source. The program historically dispersed awards on an annual or biannual cadence, with two to three awards per year in the years preceding the final 2012 round.
The program funds cooperative agreements between the Health Resources and Services Administration and accredited schools of medicine and nursing to establish networks of community-based training sites serving underserved areas and health disparity populations. Grantees coordinate interdisciplinary and interprofessional training in primary care, with not less than 75 percent of each award allocated to AHEC centers. Activities include health careers recruitment and workforce coordination, often in partnership with Department of Labor workforce investment boards, with emphasis on public health careers. The program targets recruitment of individuals from underrepresented minority populations, disadvantaged backgrounds, or rural areas into primary care health professions positioned to serve Health Professional Shortage Areas.
The program's portfolio spans thirty awards across roughly thirty years, with combined federal dollars obligated of $49.7 million. All funding derives from the Health Resources and Services Administration. The assistance-type mix is predominantly Project Grants (60 percent of awards) with a substantial share of Block Grants (40 percent). Recent awards show typical magnitudes ranging from roughly $325 thousand to $5.5 million per award. Representative 2010 awards included $2.68 million for AHEC Infrastructure Development and $1.45 million for the same program. A 2007 award totaled $5.52 million for Basic/Core Area Health Education Centers.
Organizations should not pursue this program at this time. The absence of grant awards for over a decade and the lack of posted opportunities indicate the program is not currently accepting applications or disbursing funds.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care act, Public Law 111-148, amended the PHS Act, Section 751, Area Health Education Centers. The required program activities in the amended legislation embrace the following goals to: (1) educate and train students to become culturally competent primary care health professionals who will provide healthcare in underserved areas and to health disparity populations; (2) increase the number and variety of primary care health professionals who provide care to underserved populations in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) and other medically underserved areas; and (3) recruit into health careers individuals from underrepresented minority populations or from disadvantaged or rural backgrounds. The AHEC Infrastructure Development (AHEC-ID) awards consist of cooperative agreements with accredited schools of medicine and nursing, to assist the schools to improve the distribution, diversity, supply, and quality of health personnel in the health services delivery system, and to attract and retain health personnel in underserved areas. The AHEC awardees link the academic resources of medical schools and participating health profession schools with local educational and clinical sites, and thereby establish a network of primary care oriented community-based training sites to provide educational services to health profession students, faculty-preceptors and health care providers in underserved areas, and ultimately to improve the delivery of health care in an underserved region or in an entire state. Grantees shall allocate not less than 75 percent of the award to AHEC centers to coordinate community-based training and interdisciplinary/interprofessional training in underserved areas and for health disparity populations. AHEC health careers recruitment activities shall be coordinated, where feasible, with Department of Labor workforce investment boards, and shall include an emphasis on careers in public health. Interdisciplinary/interprofessional training shall involve physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, optometrists, community health workers, public health and allied health professionals, as practicable.
