HRSA Issues Regulatory Update

Jul 31, 2025

The United States Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has issued an update on its regulatory activities.  You can read the complete HRSA regulatory update, with links to additional resources, below.

July 31, 2025

HRSA Announces Application Process for the 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program and Request for Public Comment

Today, HRSA announced the availability of a voluntary 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program for drugs on the CMS Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Selected Drug List for year 2026 from qualifying manufacturers meeting specific criteria.  HRSA is introducing this pilot program to test the rebate model on these drugs in a methodical and thoughtful approach to ensure a fair and transparent 340B rebate model process.  HRSA is implementing this pilot to better understand the merits and shortcomings of the rebate model from the perspective of affected stakeholders, and to help shape any future 340B rebate models that align with the 340B statute and the Administration’s goals.  Read the press release.

HRSA’s Commitment to Safe Organ Procurement and Donation

Under the leadership of the Trump Administration, HRSA is working to reform America’s organ procurement and donation system to ensure the safety and trust of patients, donors, and families.  On July 22, Dr. Raymond Lynch, Chief of HRSA’s Organ Transplant Branch, testified during a congressional hearing with the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, discussing oversight of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and HRSA’s commitment to safe organ donation and procurement.  Read the HHS press release for more information.

HRSA Transitions to GrantSolutions Management System

HRSA is transitioning from the Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) to GrantSolutions, a shared service provider that supports the full lifecycle of grants management.  Some organizations may already be familiar with GrantSolutions for the management of grants with other awarding agencies.  This transition for HRSA will streamline grant management activities and enhance operational efficiencies across HHS.  GrantSolutions offers various capabilities, including the automation of the grant Funding Opportunity process; streamlined application review, approval, and award processing; Risk Management Services and closeout workflows.  Some post-award reporting tasks will remain in EHBs.  Over the coming weeks, onboarding activities will begin for select programs.  Please stay tuned for more detailed information including timelines, training opportunities and helpful resources.

HRSA is seeking nominations to serve on the Tribal Advisory Council for the following areas:
  • Alaska
  • Albuquerque
  • Bemidji
  • Billings
  • California

Delegates must be elected officials who are qualified to represent the views of federally recognized Tribes in the area from which they are being nominated.  Nominations must be submitted to TribalAffairs@hrsa.gov by Aug. 29, 2025 to be considered.  All nominations should also use the template nomination letter.  Share HRSA's Call for Nominations Flyer with Tribal leaders.  Visit the Tribal Advisory Council website for more information.

2025 HRSA Healthy Grants Workshop

Registration is open for the last session of the Healthy Grants Workshop, scheduled for Aug.13, 2025.  There is no cost, and all HRSA award and sub-award recipients are encouraged to attend.  This last session will cover grant award and financial management best practices and cybersecurity and payment management system operations.  Visit the 2025 Healthy Grants Workshop Schedule webpage for information on workshop times, topics and presentations.  You can also view previous Healthy Grants Workshop recordings on the Healthy Grants Workshops webpage.  For more information, contact the Healthy Grants Workshop team​​ at HRSAGrantsWorkshop@hrsa.gov.

2025 National Health Center Week

National Health Center Week (NHCW) will take place between Aug. 3-9, 2025.  This year’s theme, “Celebrating 60 Years of Progress,” will honor America’s health centers and the vital work they do to provide high-quality, affordable and accessible care to millions across the nation.  Look for #NHCW25 and #HealthCenters posts on HRSA social media throughout the week to elevate their critical efforts.
