The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is offering the State Loan Repayment Program (SLRP) grant. This program provides funding to U.S. states and territories to establish and manage their own educational loan repayment initiatives. This grant is for the purpose of supporting primary care providers who commit to working in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) within their respective states. SLRP aims to provide loan repayment awards to healthcare professionals in exchange for their service in underserved communities, addressing critical workforce needs. Expanded by the American Rescue Plan Act, this grant offers flexibility for recipients to choose specific disciplines and HPSA sites. HRSA encourages applicants to align the use of these funds with broader HHS priorities, ensuring strategic investment in healthcare accessibility.

| Description: | The purpose of this program is to make grants to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories to assist them in operating their own state educational loan repayment programs for primary care providers working in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) within their state. SLRP supports loan repayment awards to health care providers in exchange for service in underserved communities. The American Rescue Plan Act provides funding to expand SLRP to provide grants to current grantees as well as to those States that have not previously participated. SLRP recipients are afforded the flexibility to select the disciplines and HPSA sites that meet their unique workforce needs. To that end, HRSA is encouraging SLRP applicants to consider how SLRP funds might be used to advance HHS priorities. |
