The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is a grantmaking organization within the Department of Health and Human Services. HRSA administers several grant programs to achieve four primary goals:
1) Improve access to quality care and services,
2) Strengthen the health workforce,
3) Build healthy communities, and
4) Improve health equity.
HRSA houses sub-agencies, including the Office of Rural Health Policy, Bureau of Health Professions and the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth. While HRSA doesn't technically steal from the rich, a large part of their grant funding is targeted at improving health care for disadvantaged populations (ethnic/racial, rural, HIV/AIDS). In addition, HRSA is a major investor in nursing education initiatives and telehealth endeavors.

Join Cisco and Chris LaPage from the Grants Office team as we explore various HRSA programs, particularly those that allow for acquisition of health IT. Attendees will gain knowledge on specific grant programs as well as tips for securing funding from HRSA.

Grant money continues to flow out of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Children continue to be a key target population in the health reform legislation. Evidence clearly shows that providing access to health services within a school environment dramatically improves health outcomes. School based health centers provide an opportunity to provide services in the location where children spend a great deal of their time. The School Based Health Center Capital Program (SBHCC) offers $50 million in grant funding per year to establish and make capital improvements to these types of entities. Join Cisco and Chris LaPage from the Grants Office team as we explore the SBHCC program, including ways in which health IT and underlying infrastructure can be written into the project budget. Attendees will gain an understanding of key program details as well as tips for positioning a successful application.
