What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the National Rural Health Policy, Community, and Collaboration Program. The purpose of this program is to identify, engage, educate, and collaborate with rural stakeholders on national rural health policy issues and promising practices to improve health care in rural areas nationwide. Program objectives include: 1) Identifying and educating rural stakeholders about national policy issues and promising practices for rural health. 2) Maintaining projects that will help support engagement of rural communities in a broad range of activities. 3) Facilitating collaborations at the local, regional, state, and national levels to improve the exchange of information and promising practices that support rural health. 4) Identifying and providing information to rural stakeholders about existing federal funding opportunities or other programs relating to health care in rural areas. A successful program will continue to build upon the federally funded resources that currently exist, leverage the broad network of rural health organizations and individual subject matter experts, and provide a mechanism to engage with public rural health stakeholders beyond Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funded award recipients and current partners to improve health care in rural areas.
