Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 19 019
The Licensure Portability Program (LPP) is a federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to help state professional licensing boards work together to reduce legal and administrative barriers that make it difficult for clinicians to provide telehealth services across state lines. The central idea is licensure portability: creating and improving multi-state approaches so a health professional who is licensed in one state can more easily deliver telehealth care to patients located in other states, without running into a patchwork of conflicting requirements or needing to navigate duplicative licensing processes.
This program focuses on the reality that telehealth (referred to interchangeably with telemedicine in this notice) can expand access to care, particularly for rural communities and places facing health workforce shortages. Telehealth here is broadly defined as using electronic and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical care and related activities like patient and professional education, public health, and health administration. The notice highlights common tools such as videoconferencing, the internet, store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, and other wired or wireless communication systems. Because telehealth often involves a clinician in one state treating a patient in another, state-based licensing rules can become a direct barrier to care when states require the provider to hold a license in the patient’s state and when requirements differ substantially from one jurisdiction to the next.
Funding under LPP is intended to support cooperative, multi-state efforts led by licensing boards to develop, refine, and implement state laws and policy changes that reduce those cross-border barriers. Projects can involve designing and enacting new policies as well as providing practical implementation support once policies are adopted, with an emphasis on maximizing real-world impact rather than leaving changes on paper. The opportunity is open to a wide range of licensing boards, including both clinical and non-clinical professions that can realistically use telehealth in service delivery. Examples named in the announcement include medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, therapy, and social work, while also leaving room for other licensed health professions.
A notable priority in the announcement is encouraging applications that focus on licensing strategies or professions that have not previously been funded under the program, signaling an interest in expanding beyond earlier rounds or typical recipients. HRSA also indicates particular interest in national-scale efforts that help state boards coordinate with each other and reduce the administrative burden on clinicians who practice telehealth in multiple states. In other words, the program is not just about one state modernizing its rules; it is about building practical, cooperative frameworks that make multi-state telehealth easier to deliver safely and legally.
Key administrative details from the notice include the opportunity title (Licensure Portability Program), opportunity number (HRSA 19-019), funding instrument (grant), and activity category (health), with CFDA number 93.211. It is a discretionary funding opportunity under HRSA. The original posting date was January 10, 2019, with an original closing date of March 11, 2019. The notice anticipated making 2 awards, and the award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data (which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the extracted summary rather than implying no funding would be provided). Eligibility is broadly categorized as “Others,” with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice.Apply for HRSA 19 019
