Project Grant UL853327

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) was awarded a $350,000 five-year Project Grant under the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Telemedicine Grants program (CFDA 93.211). The grant will fund the development and expansion of a telehealth network to integrate behavioral health services into primary care in rural and underserved communities in California. The project will leverage electronic communication technologies such as videoconferencing, remote patient monitoring, and mobile health solutions to improve access to healthcare, particularly for behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services. As a major public land-grant research university, UC Davis will leverage its expertise across diverse scientific fields to support this initiative focused on enhancing telehealth-enabled care coordination in rural areas.
