A large part of HRSA’s mission to increase access to health care is accomplished by awarding grants and cooperative agreements.

It is HRSA’s policy to promote competition, encourage eligible organizations to apply, and help applicants to succeed.

HRSA expects to award more than $3 billion this year through 2,087 new grant awards from 95 grant programs in the following categories:

  • Health Center Programs for community-based health care organizations that provide primary care in underserved areas
  • Ryan White HIV/AIDS Programs for eligible States and metropolitan areas, as well as providers of HIV/AIDS health care services
  • Maternal and Child Health Programs for States and providers of maternal and child health services, including services for children with special health care needs and MCH training and research
  • Health Professions Training Programs for colleges, universities and other accredited health professions training programs
  • Rural Health Programs for critical access hospitals and other health care providers in rural areas
  • Organ Donation Programs for Organ Procurement Organizations and other organizations involved in organ donation, procurement and transplantation
  • Poison Control Centers
Application Basics

Each funding opportunity has its own application and deadline, but all applications follow the same process. Organizations, not individuals, are eligible to apply.
