About this opportunity
The Health Resources and Services Administration is forecasting the Rural Health Network Development Program, which funds integrated health care networks addressing rural community health needs through two funding tracts with no stated application deadline in this forecast notice.
Eligible applicants include domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit entities: faith-based and community-based organizations, tribes and tribal organizations, Federally Qualified Health Centers, Community Health Centers, Rural Health Clinics, hospitals, and Rural Emergency Hospitals. The applicant organization may be located in a rural or urban area but must have demonstrated experience serving, or capacity to serve, populations in rural areas. No cost share requirement is stated.
The Network Advancement Tract supports networks comprised of independent rural hospitals and clinics pursuing integrated collaboration, providing startup funding to offset structural barriers and enable economic efficiencies while preserving local autonomy. The Network Development Tract supports nascent or early-stage integrated rural health care networks with funding to plan, develop, and carry out targeted operational or clinical service expansion activities. Both tracts aim to expand access to care, improve coordination and quality, strengthen health outcomes, increase efficiency, and support a stronger rural health care system.
Awards may be made for up to 4-year project periods. Review criteria emphasize project need, innovation, realistic and measurable goals and objectives, clearly defined network member roles, strength of management planning, community involvement, local commitment level, costs, and program evaluation. All qualified applications proceed to objective review committee consideration, with the HRSA program official making final funding decisions.
This opportunity falls under Assistance Listing 93.912, Rural Healthcare Services Programs. Non-competing continuation awards may be available contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability.
Forecast synopsis
The Rural Health Network Development program supports integrated health care networks that address health care needs of targeted rural communities. Applicants may choose between two funding tracts.
The Network Advancement Tract supports networks comprised of independent rural hospitals and clinics in integrated network collaboration. It bridges support to offset small scale structural barriers that make it difficult for rural providers to compete in an increasingly consolidated health care system landscape and is designed to help bring economic efficiencies to small independent rural entities by expanding and enhancing their ability to strengthen operations, preserve existing services, and build new lines of care through integrated network collaboration that preserves local autonomy.
The Network Development Tract supports nascent/early-stage integrated rural health care networks with funding to plan, develop, and carry out targeted operational or clinical service expansion activities.
Both tracts aim to expand access to care, improve coordination and quality, strengthen health outcomes, increase efficiency, and support a stronger rural health care system.
