The overarching goals for the RNBR Outreach Program are to: • Expand the delivery of health care services to include new and enhanced services exclusively in the Northern Border rural communities; • Deliver health care services through a strong consortium, in which every consortium member organization is actively involved and engaged in the planning and delivery of services; • Utilize community engagement and evidence-based or innovative, evidence informed model(s) in the delivery of health care services; and • Improve population health and demonstrate health outcomes; and • Increase financial sustainability.

As such, applicants are expected to propose projects that: • Clearly identify a health care focus area(s) that your grant activities will address. • Describe how rural communities participated in the identification of the grant project focus area indicated. • Emphasize how the project will benefit the rural community or communities. • How your proposed grant activities and identified focus area(s) will improve health equity. Examples of health care focus areas include (but are not limited to): mental/behavioral health, healthcare workforce development; community health workers, addressing health disparities, rural hospital financial and operational improvement; impacts of rural hospital closure; care coordination; patient engagement, data analytics/health information technology; and telehealth.
