Most federal healthcare funding reaches Washington providers through two channels: direct awards from federal agencies (like HRSA Section 330 grants to FQHCs) and pass-through awards administered by state agencies (like SAMHSA block grants flowing through HCA). Understanding which channel applies to your organization determines where you apply and who you report to.
