(FOA)-Limited Submission – HRSA – National Health Center Training and Technical Assistance Partners Cooperative Agreements (NTTAP) - HRSA-20-022; October 8, 2019  

 

Purpose: The purpose of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 2020 National Health Center Training and Technical Assistance Partners (NTTAP) is to establish or maintain cooperative agreements with organizations to provide national-level training and technical assistance (T/TA) to existing and potential health centers to increase access to high quality, comprehensive primary care services for underserved populations in an evolving health care landscape. NTTAPs provide health center T/TA directly and through collaborations with HRSA-funded and other T/TA partners. To effectively meet the required objectives, at a national level, NTTAPs must:

• Support health centers to identify and implement evidence-based and promising practices to address HRSA priorities in ways that are most effective for the population or development area.

• Leverage health centers’ shared experience and data, along with evidence-based and promising practices knowledge, to improve the treatment and care of patients
