Find Grant Funding

Who can apply: Eligible applicants include domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit entities, including faith-based, community-based, tribes, and tribal organizations. The applicant organization may be located in a rural or urban area, but must have demonstrated experience serving, or the capacity to serve, rural underserved populations. The applicant organization should describe in detail their experience and/or capacity to serve rural populations in the Project Abstract section of the application. The applicant organization must represent a network composed of members that include three or more health care providers. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, the terms “consortium” and “network” are used interchangeably. The applicant organization may not previously have received an award under 42 U.S.C. 254c(e) from the HRSA Federal Office of Rural Health Policy for the same or a similar project unless the applicant is proposing to expand the scope of the project or the area that will be served through the project.

Who can apply: Eligible applicants include any domestic public or private entity. Domestic faith-based and community-based organizations, tribes, and tribal organizations are also eligible to apply. Recipients of Healthy Start Initiative: Eliminating Disparities in Perinatal Health (HRSA-19-049)13 are only eligible to apply for this grant if a new project area, not currently funded by your existing grant, is proposed. If overlapping areas are proposed, your application will be deemed ineligible and not considered. This provision ensures that new communities with the highest rates of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity that do not already have access to Healthy Start services are reached by this program.

Who can apply: Per statute, funds must be awarded to public institutions of higher education in states in the top quintile of states with a projected primary care provider shortage in 2025. HRSA has determined that the eligible applicants for this funding opportunity are limited to accredited public colleges of medicine in Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana. The “State-Level Projections of Supply and Demand for Primary Care Practitioners: 2013-2025” indicate there are 37 states with a shortage in 2025.13 The top quintile of 37 states is 7.4. However, because the difference in adequacy scores between the seventh and eighth position was less than one percentage point, HRSA made a decision to include the top eight states: Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana. HRSA then identified accredited Osteopathic and Allopathic medical schools in those eight states using the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), selecting only those that identified as public, non-profit colleges of medicine. This resulted in 12 public, non-profit colleges of medicine within the eight states that are potentially eligible for MSE funding. HRSA has identified the following accredited public colleges of medicine in these eight states in the table below.
