Opportunity Summary:

The Delta Health Care Services Program is a discretionary grant opportunity intended to reduce long-standing, unmet health needs in the Delta Region by encouraging coordinated, regional collaboration. The program is built around the idea that lasting improvements in health access and outcomes in the Delta are more likely when health care providers, higher education partners, research organizations, cooperatives, and other regional entities work together rather than operating in isolation. Funding is specifically targeted to benefit smaller communities in the Delta Region, with awards intended for projects serving populations of 50,000 or fewer residents.

Grant funds under this program can support a broad set of health-related activities, as long as they are tied to addressing gaps in services and capacity in the region. Allowable uses include developing health care cooperatives, expanding or improving health care services, creating or strengthening health education programs, supporting health care job training initiatives, and developing or expanding facilities related to public health. In practice, this means the program can fund both “people and programs” (like training pipelines and education) and “place-based capacity” (like facility expansion), so long as the work is grounded in Delta community needs and carried out through eligible partnerships.

Eligibility is structured around a consortium model rather than single standalone applicants. Applicants must apply as a Consortium located in the Delta Region, and the Consortium must include at least three qualifying entities drawn from regional institutions of higher education, academic health and research institutes, health care cooperatives, or economic development entities. The consortium itself does not need to be formally incorporated, but at least one member organization must be a legally recognized entity with the authority to contract with the federal government and to comply with applicable federal rules. One member may serve as the lead representative applicant, and the overall applicant group must be able to show at least one year of experience addressing health care issues in the Delta Region. Individuals are not eligible to apply directly.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RBS01-2012-DHCS; CFDA 10.874) was posted on March 28, 2013, with an application deadline of May 28, 2013, and it was later archived on June 27, 2013. The estimated total funding amount was $3,000,000, with an expectation of about 10 awards and a stated award floor of $50,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. Applications could be submitted in paper or electronic form, but in either case they had to be received (or postmarked for mailed submissions) by May 28, 2013; late or incomplete applications were not considered.

The administering agency listed is Business and Cooperative Programs, and a program manager contact phone number (202-690-1374) is provided for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement. Overall, the program is best understood as a regional health capacity-building grant: it prioritizes collaboration across institutions, focuses on rural and small-community needs within the Delta, and supports both service delivery improvements and longer-term workforce and infrastructure development.
