American Rescue Plan (ARP) Funding

American Rescue Plan (ARP) COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation SHIP Funding

In May 2021, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) received one-time funding of approximately $398 million through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to support COVID-19 testing and mitigation initiatives. In July, the agency awarded those funds to existing SHIP grantees to support their work with small rural hospitals (with fewer than 50 beds) and critical access hospitals to increase COVID-19 testing efforts, expand access to testing in rural communities, and expand the range of mitigation activities to meet community needs within the CDC Community Mitigation Framework.

Program Purpose and Activities

While the FY 2021 SHIP COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation Program funding was awarded through SHIP, it specifically targeted COVID-19 needs as outlined above and was not intended to fall within the existing SHIP funding categories.

Funded activities for this program included:

  • Testing Education.
  • Establishment of alternate testing sites.
  • Test result processing.
  • Arranging for the processing of test results.
  • Engaging in other activities within the CDC Community Mitigation Framework to address COVID-19 in rural communities.
