Public health funding reaches North Carolina through two parallel channels: formula allocations to the North Carolina Department of Health for sub-distribution to local agencies, and competitive grants open directly to qualifying applicants. CDC formula grants — including the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement, Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant, and Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) grants — flow to North Carolina annually. CDC competitive grants and cooperative agreements covering HIV/STI prevention, immunization programs, chronic disease prevention, and injury control are open directly to North Carolina health departments, universities, FQHCs, and nonprofit organizations meeting CDC's eligibility criteria.
HRSA's community health funding is particularly significant for North Carolina organizations. The Section 330 Health Center Program funds FQHCs providing comprehensive primary care in Medically Underserved Areas — new access point grants and look-alike applications periodically open to North Carolina nonprofits and local governments. HRSA's Rural Health Care Services Outreach grants, Maternal and Child Health Bureau programs including Title V and MIECHV home visiting, and Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grants are additional HRSA streams available to qualifying North Carolina health care organizations. Most HRSA health center funding requires demonstrated service to a Medically Underserved Area or Population as defined by the Health Resources and Services Administration.
