The purpose of this program is to offer grant funds available to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories to help them run their own loan repayment programs for primary care providers to serve in HPSAs. In return for serving in these underserved communities, providers receive loan repayment awards. Recipients can choose the eligible primary care disciplines their programs support and HPSA locations based on their needs. HRSA encourages applicants to consider how they can use funds to meet and further HHS priorities. This includes placing providers in areas at-risk of experiencing a public health emergency.
