Health Center Program School-Based Service Expansion

This notice announces the opportunity for current Health Center Program award recipients to apply for funding under the FY 2023 Health Center Program School-Based Service Expansion (SBSE). The purpose of SBSE funding is to expand access to primary health care services, including mental health services, through Health Center Program award recipients’ new and/or existing service delivery sites located at or on the grounds of schools.1 For the purpose of this NOFO, such sites are referred to as school-based service sites. Health centers can use SBSE funding to establish their first school-based service site. Health centers may also choose to expand mental health and other primary health care services by adding a new school-based service site to their Health Center Program scope of project, expanding services at an existing school-based service site, or both. For more details, see Program Requirements and Expectations.
