About this opportunity
The Health Resources and Services Administration is forecasting a grant opportunity under the Rural Health Network Development Planning Program to support planning and development of rural integrated health care networks, with no application due date specified in this forecast document.
Eligible applicants include domestic public or private nonprofit or for-profit entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, tribes, and tribal organizations. The applicant organization may be located in a rural or urban area but must demonstrate experience serving or capacity to serve rural underserved populations.
The program targets three legislative aims: achieving efficiencies, expanding access to and improving quality of basic health care services and associated health outcomes, and strengthening the rural health care system as a whole. Supported activities include expanding access to care, increasing use of health information technology, exploring alternative health care delivery models, and achieving quality health care across the continuum of care. The program specifically serves entities without a history of formal collaborative efforts.
Awards carry a one-year project period. Criteria for selection include project need, innovation, realistic and measurable goals and objectives, clearly defined roles of network members, strength of the applicant's management plan, community involvement, level of local commitment, costs, and program evaluation plan. All qualified applications proceed to an objective review committee, with the HRSA program official responsible for final selection decisions.
The program operates under CFDA 93.912, Rural Healthcare Services Programs. Non-competing continuation awards are available contingent on satisfactory performance, approval of application, and availability of appropriated funds. Awardees must maintain grant accounting records for three years after submitting the Federal Financial Report, or longer if litigation or audit is pending.
Forecast synopsis
The Rural Health Network Development Planning Program supports the planning and development of rural integrated health care networks with specific focus on collaboration of entities to establish or improve local capacity and care coordination in underserved communities. Specifically, the program uses the concept of developing networks as a strategy for linking rural health care network participants together to achieve greater collective capacity to overcome local challenges, expand access and improve the quality of care in the rural communities these organizations serve. The program helps network participants work together on three legislative aims:
• Achieve efficiencies.
• Expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of basic health care services and associated health outcomes.
• Strengthen the rural health care system as a whole.
The intent is that rural health networks will do the following:
• Expand access to care.
• Increase the use of health information technology.
• Explore alternative health care delivery models.
• Continue to achieve quality health care across the continuum of care.
Eligibility
All domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit entities including domestic faith-based and community-based organizations, tribes and tribal organizations. The applicant organization may be located in a rural or urban area, but must have demonstrated experience serving, or capacity to serve, rural underserved populations.
