Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 057
The National Organizations of State and Local Officials (NOSLO): Health Policy Innovation opportunity (HRSA-23-057) 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 policy officials and the types of state and local organizations that interact with HRSA-supported programs. The core idea is to create a strong bridge between HRSA and state, territorial, and local decision-makers so emerging health policy challenges can be identified early, information can move quickly in both directions, and practical strategies can be shared and adapted across jurisdictions.
The overall purpose of the NOSLO program is threefold: first, to help state and local authorities improve public health, health care, and health care delivery; second, to build the capacity needed to tackle public health issues and to support and enforce regulations meant to protect and improve population health; and third, to advance health equity so that improvements in health systems and outcomes reach people who have historically been underserved. In this context, "capacity-building" is not a vague concept. It specifically refers to actions that develop, strengthen, and sustain the skills, infrastructure, partnerships, and resources required to improve health service delivery for people who are geographically isolated and/or economically or medically vulnerable. In practice, this could involve helping states stand up new policy frameworks, improve coordination across agencies, develop implementation playbooks, or build better data and analytic capabilities to support policy decisions.
HRSA lays out three key program objectives that guide the work under this cooperative agreement. The first is to facilitate communication and data or information sharing between HRSA and state, territorial, and local officials. The second is to improve HRSA's understanding of on-the-ground needs, priorities, and perspectives so federal efforts are better aligned with local realities. The third is to support state, territorial, and local capacity-building activities that strengthen the health care safety net and push forward public health goals. Taken together, these objectives emphasize practical support and continuous feedback loops rather than one-way dissemination of guidance.
A central feature of this NOSLO Health Policy Innovation award is its emphasis on tracking and responding to policy changes in the health care landscape. The funded organization is expected to identify emerging issues and share effective strategies that state and local leaders can use, with particular attention to topics HRSA highlights as urgent or high impact. Those priority areas include the health care workforce, maternal health, behavioral health, and telehealth strategies, including intrastate licensure approaches that can affect workforce mobility and service access. HRSA also calls out the needs of underinsured and uninsured populations, people experiencing homelessness, residents of public housing, and other vulnerable groups, reflecting a strong equity and safety-net focus.
In terms of what the recipient actually does, the award centers on providing tailored technical assistance to state policy officials and relevant organizations. That technical assistance is expected to show up through direct communication and information-sharing with HRSA and states, as well as through more structured supports such as trainings, tools, data collection and analysis assistance, publication development, and convenings like learning exchanges on priority topics. The goal of these activities is to help state and local partners operate in a responsive, coordinated, and effective way, especially when facing fast-changing policy conditions or new public health pressures.
The program’s specific implementation expectations include engaging multiple states to develop detailed implementation plans for policy initiatives that improve access to quality care for high-need populations connected to HRSA program areas. HRSA signals that, when feasible, these state-level initiatives should be designed so they can be shared or replicated across multiple states, multiplying impact and helping successful models spread nationally. The recipient is also expected to deploy technical assistance activities and practical tools that support policy improvements tied to the priority areas, again with a clear orientation toward access, quality, and outcomes for populations most likely to face barriers to care.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city or township, special districts, and independent school districts), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other eligible applicants as clarified in the full notice. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of June 6, 2023, and an original closing date of July 6, 2023. HRSA anticipated making one award under this announcement.Apply for HRSA 23 057
