Opportunity Summary:
The Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-063) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. It is designed to help rural communities and rural health stakeholders quickly generate practical evidence through rapid data analyses and short, targeted research studies focused on timely rural policy questions. The main goal is to produce information that clarifies how current or proposed policies and regulations are affecting rural health care access, delivery, and population health, and to translate those findings into insights that decision-makers and providers can use.
A central problem this program is trying to solve is that many of the most important policy-relevant questions in rural health require specialized analysis of large and complex datasets. These datasets are often maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and may also come from other federal or state agencies or private organizations. Rural organizations and providers frequently need quick answers, but they often lack the infrastructure to store large datasets, the technical staff to clean and manage data, and the statistical or computing capacity required to run rigorous analyses on short timelines. This program supports an entity that can perform that kind of rapid-turnaround analytic work and issue-specific research on behalf of rural stakeholders, filling a gap between policy needs and on-the-ground analytic capability.
The expected output of funded work is analysis and research that can inform rural health policy and operational decisions. Findings are intended to be useful not only to rural health care providers and community stakeholders, but also to larger audiences involved in shaping policy that affects rural areas, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Congress, state governments, and both nonprofit and for-profit organizations that influence or set policy. In practice, that means the funded project is meant to function as a responsive resource for generating evidence that supports policy formulation, evaluation, and refinement in rural health contexts.
In terms of funding details, HRSA anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The posting date was January 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2015, and an archive date of May 29, 2015.
Eligibility was broad and included all domestic public and private entities, whether nonprofit or for-profit. Examples of eligible applicants listed in the announcement include institutions of higher education, public or private health research organizations, foundations, tribes and tribal organizations, and faith-based entities. This wide eligibility reflects the program emphasis on analytic capacity and the ability to produce timely, policy-relevant research rather than limiting participation to a narrow category of organization.
For applicant support or access issues, HRSA provided a point of contact through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with Sarah Bryce listed as the contact (sbryce@hrsa.gov).
FAQs: Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies (HRSA-15-063)
What is the Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies opportunity (HRSA-15-063)?
This is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement. It is designed to support rapid-turnaround rural data analyses and short, targeted rural research studies that address timely, policy-relevant questions.
What is the main purpose of this cooperative agreement?
The main purpose is to quickly generate practical evidence that clarifies how current or proposed policies and regulations affect rural health care access, health care delivery, and population health, and then translate the findings into insights that decision-makers and providers can use.
What problem is this program trying to solve?
Many important rural health policy questions require specialized analysis of large and complex datasets (often maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and sometimes from other federal or state agencies or private organizations). Rural stakeholders often need fast answers but may not have the infrastructure, technical staffing, or statistical/computing capacity to manage and analyze these datasets on short timelines. This program supports an entity that can fill that gap by providing rapid, rigorous analytic work on behalf of rural stakeholders.
What types of work does the program fund?
The opportunity supports two main types of work: rapid data analyses and issue-specific rural research studies. Both are intended to be short, targeted efforts focused on timely rural policy questions.
What kinds of questions are the analyses and studies expected to address?
The work is expected to address timely rural policy questions, particularly questions about how current or proposed policies and regulations are affecting rural health care access, rural health care delivery, and rural population health.
What are the expected outputs or deliverables?
The expected output is analysis and research findings that can inform rural health policy and operational decisions. The emphasis is on producing information that can be used in policy formulation, evaluation, and refinement in rural health contexts.

Findings are intended to be useful to rural health care providers and community stakeholders, as well as broader audiences involved in shaping or influencing rural policy, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Congress, state governments, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations that influence or set policy.
Why does the announcement emphasize large and complex datasets?
Because many policy-relevant rural health questions require detailed analysis of large, complex datasets (often from CMS). These datasets can be difficult to store, clean, manage, and analyze without specialized infrastructure and expertise, especially when stakeholders need answers quickly.
