National Organizations of State and Local Officials: Health Care Payment and Financing

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the National Organizations of State and Local Officials (NOSLO) Program: Health Care Payment and Financing. The purpose of this program is to assist states and local authorities in a) preserving and improving public health, b) building capacity to address other public health matters and support and enforce regulations intended to improve the public’s health, and c) preventing and suppressing communicable diseases. To fulfill the program’s purpose, NOSLO: Health Care Payment and Financing has the following objectives: 1) facilitate bidirectional communication and data/information-sharing between HRSA and state and/or local officials, 2) strengthen HRSA-funded programs by better understanding state and/or local stakeholder needs, priorities, and perspectives, and 3) support capacity-building activities at the state and/or local levels that strengthen the health care safety net and advance shared public health goals with HRSA.The term “capacity-building” includes actions that build, strengthen, and maintain the necessary competencies and resources needed to sustain or improve health services delivery to vulnerable and underserved populations. Through NOSLO: Health Care Payment and Financing, HRSA will support an organization with a local, state, and national perspective on healthcare-related payment and financing for services delivered to vulnerable and underserved populations.
