Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Health Best Practices and Community Development Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-150) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement focused on strengthening rural health care by supporting the continuation of previously approved work under the RHCD project. This announcement is not a new open competition; it is competing continuation application guidance, meaning it exists specifically so the current grantee can request funding for the next budget period within an already approved multi-year project period. The central purpose is to help the grantee further develop and continue projects that were identified earlier in the cooperative agreement, with an overall aim of improving access to quality health care for rural communities.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency compared with a standard grant. In practice, that typically means HRSA expects active collaboration, ongoing coordination, and federal input or oversight on the continuation work plan, performance expectations, and deliverables. The program’s activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers), signaling alignment with federal rural health priorities and infrastructure that supports rural health improvement efforts.
Funding details reflect a relatively focused continuation award. HRSA anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,800,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the grantee is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Key dates for the opportunity were posted on February 5, 2009, with an application closing date of April 6, 2009, and an archive date of June 5, 2009, indicating the announcement is historical and no longer active for submission today.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow. While the eligibility description references not-for-profit organizations of national scope and provides context about the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) as a national, not-for-profit, membership-driven organization representing a wide range of rural health stakeholders, the controlling eligibility rule is that only the current grantee may apply. In other words, this funding opportunity is limited to the organization already holding the RHCD cooperative agreement and seeking support for a subsequent budget period within the approved project period. That limitation reflects the continuation nature of the announcement: HRSA is not soliciting new applicants or new standalone projects, but rather continuing an existing body of work already underway.
From a programmatic standpoint, the tasks tied to this cooperative agreement are framed around the broad goal of increasing access to quality health care for rural America and supporting leadership on rural health issues. The eligible grantee is expected to build on earlier work, maintain momentum on ongoing initiatives, and continue delivering results that benefit rural communities across diverse geographies, from more densely populated rural regions to frontier areas. The continuation framing suggests the application would likely emphasize progress to date, refinement of project plans, and a clear case for why continued federal support is necessary to complete or expand the previously identified projects.
