Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 058
The National Organizations of State and Local Officials (NOSLO) State Health Legislative Education opportunity (HRSA-23-058) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed to fund one national-level organization that has deep experience working with state and territorial legislators and legislative staff, especially in the practical, day-to-day work of providing technical assistance, policy support, and education tied to public health and health care delivery. The core idea is to strengthen the link between HRSA and state and territorial policymakers so that laws, budgets, and oversight efforts better support public health goals and improve access to quality health care, particularly for populations that face the greatest barriers.
At a high level, the program exists to help state and local authorities do three things more effectively: improve public health and health care delivery, build the capacity needed to address and regulate public health issues, and advance health equity. In this context, "capacity-building" is not a vague buzzword. It refers to concrete actions that help states and territories build, strengthen, and sustain the skills, systems, relationships, and resources needed to improve health services for people who are geographically isolated and/or economically or medically vulnerable. The award is meant to support states as they prepare for and respond to emerging health issues as well as ongoing challenges, while aligning those efforts with HRSA-supported programs and priorities.
The funded organization is expected to serve as a connector and support hub for legislators and legislative officials. That includes facilitating two-way communication and information sharing between HRSA and state and territorial policymakers, so that HRSA can better understand on-the-ground needs and states can better understand HRSA priorities, programs, and available evidence. Beyond communication, the work is intended to be highly practical: tailored technical assistance; training and education; support for collecting, sharing, and analyzing data; development of publications and policy resources; and organizing convenings such as learning exchanges on priority topics. The goal of these activities is to help legislators and legislative staff operate in a more responsive, coordinated, and effective way when addressing complex health policy issues.
A key program objective is to engage multiple states and work directly with their legislators and legislative officials to build detailed implementation plans for policy initiatives that expand access to quality care for the highest-need populations, specifically where those initiatives intersect with HRSA programs. HRSA emphasizes that, when feasible, these policy initiatives should be developed in ways that allow lessons, models, or tools to be shared across states to create broader national impact rather than remaining siloed in one jurisdiction. Another major objective is to implement technical assistance activities and practical tools that support innovative solutions to both emerging and persistent health issues, with a clear focus on improving access and outcomes for underserved communities.
The opportunity also spells out priority populations and issue areas that should be reflected in the technical assistance agenda. These include underinsured and uninsured individuals and families; maternal health disparities; people living in geographically isolated rural areas; individuals with HIV; people with unmet behavioral health needs and substance use disorders; and other vulnerable populations. In other words, the assistance is expected to help policymakers address real gaps in coverage, care availability, quality, and equity, and to support a stronger health care safety net across states and territories.
Administratively, this is a cooperative agreement, which typically means HRSA anticipates substantial involvement with the recipient during the period of performance (for example, collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and coordination). The funding activity category is Health (CFDA 93.011). Eligibility is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), independent school districts, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses), with an additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice. The expected number of awards is one. The original application window opened June 6, 2023 and closed July 6, 2023. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which generally signals that applicants must rely on the full notice for the actual funding level or that the ceiling is not expressed as a simple fixed cap in the summary fields.Apply for HRSA 23 058
