Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 029
The FY 2023 National Training and Technical Assistance Partner (NTTAP) Cooperative Agreements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 23 029) is a discretionary cooperative agreement competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under CFDA 93.129. The program funds organizations to operate as national training and technical assistance partners that strengthen the capacity of Health Center Program entities across the country, including both current and prospective HRSA health center award recipients as well as health center "look-alikes." In practice, NTTAP recipients are expected to design and provide training and hands-on technical assistance, coordinate support across the national health center landscape, and evaluate whether that support is effective, using both direct service delivery and structured collaboration with other HRSA-funded training and technical assistance partners.
The core purpose of the funding is to help health centers deliver on key national priorities and day-to-day performance demands. HRSA intends for FY 2023 NTTAP awardees to provide training and technical assistance that helps health centers deliver comprehensive care, respond to emerging public health issues and evolving community health needs, improve operational effectiveness and quality, and advance health equity. The emphasis is not only on general improvement, but on making health centers more resilient and more capable of adapting their clinical, operational, and community-facing work as conditions change, whether those conditions involve new public health threats, shifting patient needs, or system-level expectations around quality, access, and equity.
A major feature of the NTTAP model is the expectation that awardees will take a nationwide view of health center training and technical assistance needs. HRSA specifically notes that it will fund NTTAPs to identify training and technical assistance needs across the country and then deliver support targeted to those needs. This includes support for health centers that serve statutorily defined special populations as well as other health center patient groups, along with assistance delivered through specified development areas described in HRSA's program requirements and expectations. In other words, the partners are meant to function as national capacity builders: scanning the field, identifying gaps, producing or coordinating practical tools and learning opportunities, and then measuring whether those efforts are improving health center performance and readiness.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple government and non-government organization types. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, special district governments, and independent school districts; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as further clarified in the notice's additional eligibility language. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more substantial federal role in the project compared to a standard grant, often involving ongoing federal involvement in shaping, monitoring, or coordinating activities to ensure alignment with national program goals.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on August 17, 2022, with an original application closing date of October 14, 2022. HRSA anticipated making 22 awards under this notice. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summarized data field and would need to be confirmed in the full notice or related program guidance. For applicants trying to understand the specific types of NTTAP roles available, HRSA directs readers to the Program Requirements and Expectations section, which contains additional detail and the full list of NTTAP types supported under this funding.Apply for HRSA 23 029
