In order to be eligible, states must demonstrate that the program operated with the grant funds will be administered directly by a state agency.

The contract between the state and the health care professional must contain a breach provision and other terms that are not more favorable than the terms provided under the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Loan Repayment Program (LRP). See 42 U.S.C. 254q-1(c).

Who can apply: Entities eligible to apply are public or nonprofit private accredited schools of allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine, an incorporated consortia made up of such schools, or the parent institution(s) of such schools. In states and territories in which no AHEC Program is in operation, an accredited school of nursing is an eligible applicant. AHEC Requirements in Sections 751(d)(2)(A) and 751(d)(2)(B) of the PHS Act For FY 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) gave the Secretary authority to grant a waiver of the AHEC requirements under sections 751(d)(2)(A) and 751(d)(2)(B) of the PHS Act13 to programs meeting certain requirements, including that the program must have been operating under section 751 of the PHS Act on or before January 1, 2009. Applicants seeking a waiver must submit their request with their grant application. Decisions regarding the waiver requests are contingent upon extension of the Secretary’s waiver authority for FY 2022 and HRSA administrative review of each waiver request. For instructions, please see Attachment 9. Foreign entities are not eligible for these awards.

Who can apply: Eligible applicants shall be domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit, entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, tribes, and tribal organizations. The applicant organization may be located in an urban or rural area and must have demonstrated experience serving, or the capacity to serve, rural underserved populations; represent a network of members that include three or more health care providers; and shall not previously have received an award under this subsection for the same or similar project, unless the entity is proposing to expand the scope of the project or the area that will be served through the project.

Who can apply: States, political subdivisions of states, and Indian Tribes and tribal organizations (as defined in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. § 450b)) that are not currently funded under HRSA-18-122, HRSA-19-096, and HRSA-21-122 are eligible to apply (i.e., existing recipients of HRSA PMHCA awards or other entities within funded states are not eligible to apply). Please note that Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations in states with existing awards are eligible to apply separately; however, other eligible applicants that are currently receiving HRSA PMHCA awards are not eligible to apply.
