About this opportunity

This Federal Grant Opportunity, HRSA-25-044 and HRSA-25-045, is seeking to establish two cooperative agreement centers focused on telehealth research and rapid response. The Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is the federal agency administering this opportunity. The Telehealth Research Center will conduct clinically-informed and policy-relevant health services research to expand the evidence base for telehealth, while the Telehealth Rapid Response Center will provide stakeholders with expedited data analyses and short-term research studies on telehealth policies and regulations. Key requirements include maintaining national datasets, publishing research findings, and collaborating with HRSA's Office for the Advancement of Telehealth. The application deadline is April 15, 2025, with an expected award date of August 1, 2025 and project start date of September 1, 2025.

Each center will receive $950,000 in FY2025 funding for a 5-year period of performance through August 31, 2030. Eligible applicants include public/private institutions of higher education, non-profits, for-profits, government entities, and tribal organizations. The centers must have dedicated staffing, including principal investigators with at least 8 years of telehealth research experience, and robust data analysis capabilities.

Synopsis

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding for the Telehealth Rapid Response Center (HRSA-25-044) and the Telehealth Research Center (HRSA-25-045). The purpose of this program is to fund research that expands the evidence base to inform policy and programs for telehealth services in underserved populations in the United States. The research supported through this program will inform providers, policymakers, and telehealth stakeholders on the latest trends and data impacting telehealth disparities and access, telehealth providers, flexibilities for telehealth care, and continued services for telehealth utilization in various specialties and via different modalities. We will award one cooperative agreement for each of the following opportunities: • The Telehealth Rapid Response Center funded under HRSA-25-044 is responsible for conducting rapid data analyses and short-term issue-specific telehealth research studies. It will provide stakeholders and the public with resources to understand the impact of telehealth policies and regulations as well as provide information that will improve telehealth access to underserved populations in the United States. • The Telehealth Research Center funded under HRSA-25-045 is responsible for conducting clinically informed and evidence-based research. The Telehealth Research Center plays a key role in helping to expand the evidence base for telehealth services and address gaps in knowledge for effectiveness, costs, and delivery, including the use of telehealth technology. This center will also conduct and maintain a comprehensive evaluation of nationwide telehealth investments in rural and underserved areas and populations. This research will help health providers and decision-makers at the local, state and federal levels by examining the impact of telehealth services in rural and underserved communities on access to health care, population health/health indicator, health care spending (both for payers and for the patients receiving the services), quality of care, value-based care, and clinical delivery of care.
