Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 011
The Licensure Portability Grant Program (LPGP) is a federal grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that funds state professional licensing boards as they work together across state lines to reduce legal and policy barriers that can limit telehealth. The core idea is to make it easier for licensed health care professionals to provide care to patients in other states through telehealth, without getting blocked by inconsistent state licensure requirements. HRSA defines telehealth broadly as the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical care, patient and professional education, health administration, and public health. That includes common tools such as video conferencing and internet-based platforms, as well as store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, and terrestrial or wireless communications.
This program is rooted in the reality that telehealth has expanded significantly over the last several decades and accelerated sharply during and after the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. Telehealth can help patients access care when local provider supply is limited, especially in rural communities and other areas facing workforce shortages. At the same time, states often regulate health professions independently, and many states require clinicians to be licensed in the state where the patient is physically located. Those differences can create statutory and regulatory barriers to cross-state telehealth. The LPGP is designed to support multi-state licensure collaborations that develop and implement state laws and related policies to reduce those barriers and improve access to quality physical and behavioral health services.
HRSA aligns the LPGP with broader agency goals, including strengthening the health care workforce to meet current and emerging needs, improving access to quality physical and behavioral health care, advancing health equity, and enhancing population health. Equity is emphasized as a central consideration, reflecting HRSA's mission to protect health and provide essential human services. In practice, the program supports policy and systems work that can expand telehealth-enabled access for communities that have historically faced obstacles to care, including people in remote locations and communities with limited local clinician availability.
Eligible applicants are state professional licensing boards. The solicitation is intentionally broad and can include boards for medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, therapy, and other licensed health professions that can provide services via telehealth. HRSA also notes a particular interest in behavioral health given increased need in recent years and provides special consideration related to social work. Specifically, the notice highlights special consideration for a multi-state licensure collaborative focused on Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), signaling that proposals centered on improving cross-state telehealth practice for LCSWs may receive added attention under the review criteria described in the full announcement.
The funding opportunity includes two award tracks: Competing Continuation Awards and New Awards. Competing Continuation Awards are for organizations that already hold HRSA-funded LPGP awards with project periods that began in FY 2019 through the present (referenced as HRSA-19-019). These applicants can seek support to continue, strengthen, and expand implementation of state policy changes they have already adopted, with the goal of maximizing impact and further advancing telehealth. HRSA anticipates competing continuation projects lasting five years, funded at up to $100,000 per year. New Awards are for eligible state licensing boards (including those working through consortia or associations of boards) that want to launch or build multi-state cooperative efforts to develop and implement the legal and policy changes needed to reduce barriers to telehealth across state lines. HRSA anticipates new awards lasting five years, funded at up to $150,000 per year.
From the posted opportunity data, the program is a discretionary grant administered by HRSA under CFDA 93.211, listed as funding opportunity number HRSA-24-011. Eligible applicants are identified as state governments and other qualifying entities consistent with the focus on state licensing boards and their collaborative structures. HRSA expected to make about four awards under this notice. The original application closing date was April 8, 2024, and the notice was created on February 7, 2024.Apply for HRSA 24 011
