Appendix A RHTP Subrecipient Grant Budget Template.pdf

This document is a budget template appendix for the Rural Health Transformation Program subrecipient grant opportunity administered by the Vermont Department of Health. The template is designed to support facility upgrade applications from rural health care delivery sites, including hospitals, primary care and specialty care clinics, home health and hospice agencies, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, adult day centers, mental health providers, substance use disorder providers, and other health care settings. Applications are due by July 17, 2026. The facility upgrades funded through this opportunity must support service realignment, shared operations, and integrated care delivery consistent with Vermont's regionalization strategy, which aims to optimize the distribution of clinical services across local communities, regional hubs, and statewide centers based on population needs. The specific budget template itself could not be accessed due to a file error, preventing detailed review of budget line items, funding caps per award, or other fiscal requirements outlined in the template.

Vermont received $195 million in Year One funding for the five-year Rural Health Transformation grant program, with subrecipient awards intended to support facility improvements that ensure long-term overhead and maintenance costs align with patient volume. The funding supports the state's strategic objective to eliminate service duplication, redirect resources to high-value essential services, and ensure Vermonters receive appropriate care at affordable costs. Without access to the complete budget template and related RFP document, specific award ceiling amounts, detailed eligibility criteria, facility type priorities, and comprehensive evaluation methodologies cannot be confirmed from available sources.
