Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 17 062
The Health Workforce Research Center (HWRC) Cooperative Agreement Program is a federal funding opportunity administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It was announced as a discretionary cooperative agreement program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-062; CFDA 93.300) designed to strengthen the nation s ability to understand, measure, and plan for its health workforce needs. Unlike a standard grant where the awardee operates largely independently, a cooperative agreement typically signals closer involvement and coordination with the federal agency, which fits the programs emphasis on national data consistency, shared methods, and broad public dissemination.
The core purpose of the program, authorized under Section 761(c) of the Public Health Service Act and reinforced through provisions in the Affordable Care Act, is twofold. First, funded centers are expected to collect, analyze, and report Title VII health workforce program data to a National Center and to make that information available to the public. In practical terms, this means producing credible, structured workforce evidence that can be compared and used beyond a single institution or locality, helping decision makers see trends over time and across regions. Second, the program places a strong emphasis on providing technical assistance to local and regional entities, specifically around how workforce data are collected, analyzed, and reported. That technical assistance role matters because workforce planning often suffers when jurisdictions use different definitions, inconsistent datasets, or methods that are not comparable, so the program supports the development of shared approaches and stronger local analytic capacity.
The larger objective behind these tasks is to support and spread rigorous health workforce research that informs evidence-based policy. HRSA frames the HWRC effort as a way to improve how governments and the public understand workforce issues and trends, which can include supply and distribution problems, emerging shortages, training pipeline questions, and changes in care delivery that affect staffing needs. By funding multiple centers and expecting public-facing reporting, the program aims to create a stronger national evidence base that can be used for health workforce planning and policy at federal, state, and local levels.
A notable feature of this opportunity is the broad scope of health professions included under Title VII of the Public Health Service Act, which the program explicitly references. The covered areas include allied health, behavioral health, direct care workers (including those in long-term care facilities, home-based settings, and community-based settings), geriatrics, oral health, palliative care, and primary care. That breadth signals that the program is not limited to physicians or nurses alone; it is meant to capture a wide array of occupations and provider types that make up the delivery system, including roles that are essential to long-term services and supports and community care.
From an administrative standpoint, the listing indicates the opportunity was created on October 27, 2016, with an original application closing date of January 20, 2017, and an expectation of six awards. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the summary field or may have been defined elsewhere in the full announcement rather than as a hard cap in the synopsis. Eligibility is summarized as Others (see additional eligibility text), meaning applicants would need to consult the full solicitation for the precise categories of eligible organizations, such as universities, research organizations, nonprofits, or other entities commonly involved in workforce research and data infrastructure.
Overall, the HWRC Cooperative Agreement Program is best understood as an initiative to build a coordinated national network of workforce research capacity. It funds centers to generate standardized, policy-relevant analyses of the health workforce, to share those findings publicly, and to help states and regions improve their own workforce data practices so that planning decisions can be grounded in stronger, more comparable evidence.Apply for HRSA 17 062
