(March 31, 2023) – The Health Resources and Service Administration has announced a funding opportunity for Rural Health Care Coordination. The program is intended to promote rural health care services outreach by improving and expanding the delivery of health care services through comprehensive care coordination strategies in rural areas. This award is intended to serve as initial seed funding to implement creative community-based health solutions in rural communities to expand access to and coordination of care with the expectation that awardees will then be able to sustain the program after the federal funding ends. Over the four-year performance period, a maximum of 10 award recipients will receive up to $300,000 per year in funding to improve health outcomes through coordinated, community-wide, sustainable programs in rural communities. Eligible applicants include all domestic public or private, non-profit or for-profit entities, including community-based organizations, federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and faith-based organizations.
