Assistance Listing 93.886

The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service operates Assistance Listing 93.886, which funded physician assistants training grants, with the most recent award disbursed on June 15, 2002—over two decades ago. This program is dormant and should not be pursued.

The portfolio contains 43 total awards spanning 2000 to 2002, with grant activity concentrated in 2001 (27 awards) and trailing sharply thereafter. No grant awards have been issued since mid-2002, and no recent grant opportunities are posted. The combined federal dollars obligated across the entire portfolio total $5 million, with individual awards ranging from approximately $2,400 to $279,000. The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service issued 35 of the 43 awards, obligating $5 million in federal dollars.

The program's assistance-type mix consists predominantly of Project Grants (81 percent of awards) with a smaller share of Block Grants (19 percent). The Block Grants associated with physician assistants training frequently carried negative federal dollars obligated, indicating adjustments or de-obligations rather than new funding disbursements.

Representative recent awards include Project Grant 21HP19134A00000 ($278,590), awarded March 1, 2001, with completion June 30, 2002; Project Grant 21HP19144A00000 ($269,313), also awarded March 1, 2001; and Block Grant D21HP10158 issued May 6, 2002 for physician assistants training ($23,981 in negative obligation).
