Organizations eligible to compete include public or nonprofit private entities, including tribal, faith-based and community-based organizations who meet health center funding requirements. Current Health Resources and Services Administration grantees may apply, as well as organizations applying for the first time.
The funds, made available by the Affordable Care Act, will be awarded by the HRSA.
