Proposed Project: Ready Responders 

Program Application—New 

The HRSA National Health Service 

Corps (NHSC) Ready Responder 

Program is comprised of an elite cadre 

of Commissioned Corps officers. These 

officers are assigned to practice in 

NHSC-approved clinical sites located 

throughout the country within eligible 

Health Professional Shortage Areas. The 

purpose of the program is to increase 

access to primary care services in 

underserved communities and to assist 

sites in their efforts to recruit providers 

and become self-sustaining. In addition 

to providing direct patient care at the 

site where the officer is stationed, each 

Ready Responder typically works with 

the sites to develop various programs 

and activities such as emergency 

preparedness and response, patient 

education, staff development, staff 

recruitment, and sound business 

practices. Moreover, they are specially 

trained to deploy in the event of a local, 

regional, and national emergency. 

This application will be used by 

NHSC sites to request the assignment of 

a NHSC Ready Responder. The 

document requires the applicant to 

describe the needs in their community 

and at their respective sites. The 

application also asks the site to describe 

the roles and responsibilities of the 

prospective Ready Responder. 

Completed applications will be 

collected and reviewed by NHSC staff.
