Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 157
The Rural Public Health Workforce Training Network Technical Assistance Program (RPHWTN-TAP) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity (HRSA-22-157) that uses a cooperative agreement to support one national or multi-regional organization to serve as a technical assistance provider for rural health care networks. The core idea is not to fund multiple local projects directly, but to fund a single entity that can help many rural and tribal communities strengthen their public health and health care workforce pipelines. This program is designed to expand public health capacity in rural areas by improving how rural networks develop jobs, train workers, and place them into needed roles, with an emphasis on practical, adoptable support that can be reused across communities.
The program has several connected goals that together define what the funded technical assistance organization is expected to do. First, it must provide hands-on technical assistance to existing Rural Public Health Workforce Training Network (RPHWTN) award recipients as well as other rural stakeholders that want guidance on expanding clinical and operational workforce capacity. The support is meant to focus on four specified workforce training tracks within rural health care networks (the notice references four tracks without listing them in the excerpt), which implies the TA provider must understand those tracks deeply and help networks build training pathways and staffing models around them. Second, the recipient is expected to identify and or develop tools, templates, and resources, then promote and maintain them so they can be broadly adopted. In practice, that usually means creating things like implementation guides, sample curricula or competency frameworks, partnership agreements, recruitment and retention toolkits, evaluation resources, and step-by-step playbooks that rural networks can adapt without reinventing the wheel.
Third, the TA provider must actively convene and connect people. The opportunity emphasizes facilitating relationships between rural health care networks and relevant stakeholders at the local, state, regional, and national levels. The purpose of those connections is to speed up the exchange of information and promising practices, especially practices that help expand training and certification programs in the targeted workforce tracks. In other words, the program is pushing the TA provider to act like a hub: organizing learning collaboratives, peer-to-peer exchanges, office hours, webinars, communities of practice, and introductions to partners such as state offices of rural health, public health departments, training providers, certification bodies, employers, and workforce boards.
Fourth, the program explicitly ties workforce support to the realities of COVID-19 and long COVID. The TA provider is expected to help rural networks anticipate, prepare for, and respond to emerging clinical and operational workforce challenges connected to the pandemic and its long-term impacts. This suggests technical assistance that addresses issues like staffing shortages and burnout, new care demands, infection control capacity, occupational health needs, operational disruptions, and the added clinical workload associated with long COVID patients. The emphasis is on strengthening network capacity so rural systems are better positioned for both current and future shocks to the workforce and care delivery environment.
Fifth, the program calls for technical assistance that helps rural health care networks connect academia with health care service delivery to reduce rural workforce disparities. That typically points to building or improving pipelines between community colleges, universities, tribal colleges, Area Health Education Centers, and other training institutions and the on-the-ground employers and service sites in rural communities. The goal is to make training more aligned with real workforce needs, expand rural clinical and field training opportunities, improve placement outcomes, and ultimately increase the number of qualified workers who stay and serve in rural and tribal areas.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is run by the US Department of Health and Human Services through HRSA and is categorized as discretionary funding under the health activity category, with CFDA number 93.912. The award ceiling is $500,000, and only one award is expected, reinforcing that HRSA intends to fund a single organization to deliver technical assistance at scale rather than multiple direct service projects. Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, special districts), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, and nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations (with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice).
The timeline details in the notice show the opportunity was posted May 3, 2022, with an original closing date of June 8, 2022. Even though those dates reflect the historical competition window, the substance of the announcement makes clear what HRSA wanted to build: a dedicated technical assistance backbone that rural and tribal health care networks can rely on to expand workforce training programs, improve job development and placement, share practical models, and adapt to pandemic-driven and longer-term workforce challenges.Apply for HRSA 22 157
