By fostering PCA collaboration, engagement, and the sharing of best practices, the program seeks to strengthen technical assistance and training efforts that ultimately support improved healthcare delivery.
This cooperative agreement is classified under the discretionary funding category, meaning the awarding agency has the discretion to determine which applications receive funding. The primary funding activity category for this opportunity is health, with a focus on non-financial and technical assistance to health centers. The program is designed to facilitate a national-level approach to technical assistance, ensuring that health centers have access to the tools and strategies needed to enhance service delivery and patient care.

However, specific details regarding the award ceiling and award floor amounts have not been provided. The program does not require cost-sharing or matching funds, making it financially accessible to eligible applicants.
