FY 2024 State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) Cooperative Agreements

Background
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2024 State and Regional Primary Care Association (PCA) Cooperative Agreements. The purpose of this program is for PCAs to support the development and delivery of training and technical assistance (T/TA) to support health centers in improving the health of individuals and communities.

Grant Details
The funding opportunity seeks to fund up to 52 organizations to develop and deliver T/TA that will support health centers in improving the health of individuals and communities by increasing access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care services; recruiting and retaining a diverse health care workforce; preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergent health events; implementing value-based care delivery and ensuring financial sustainability; and accelerating data-informed improvements to operations, clinical quality, and care coordination.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include domestic public or private, non-profit, or for-profit entities. Community-based organizations, tribes, and tribal organizations are eligible to apply for PCA funding. New organizations and organizations currently receiving funding as PCAs under Section 330(l) may submit applications.

Period of Performance
The period of performance is July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027 (3 years). Funding beyond the first year is subject to the availability of appropriated funds for PCAs in subsequent fiscal years, satisfactory progress, and a decision that continued funding is in the best interest of the Federal Government.

Grant Value
Approximately $68.3 million is estimated to be available annually to fund 52 recipients. The actual amount available will not be determined until the enactment of the final FY 2024 federal appropriation.

Place of Performance
PCAs must provide T/TA activities that support health centers in their state or region.
