Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Health Network Development (RHND) Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-044) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen established rural health networks that are already working together and are ready to take the next step toward deeper, more formal integration. The core idea is to help rural providers move beyond informal cooperation and toward coordinated systems of care that are integrated administratively, clinically, and financially. In other words, this program is aimed at networks that can show they have a real track record of collaboration and now want to build durable structures and shared processes that improve how health services are delivered in rural communities.
A key requirement is that the network must be a formal organizational arrangement among at least three health care providers that are separately owned entities. The program is explicit that a qualifying network is not simply a large health system where multiple sites or organizations are owned by the same parent entity and collaborate under that common ownership. Instead, HRSA is looking for independent organizations that are choosing to work together to solve shared rural health delivery challenges. Each network member must sign a memorandum of agreement (MOA) or a similar formal collaborative agreement, reinforcing that the partnership must be documented and structured rather than casual or ad hoc.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that can serve as the applicant entity and that meet several conditions. The applicant must be a public or private nonprofit entity located in a rural area, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Beyond the applicant itself, the network must be composed of at least three separate entities, the organizational relationship must be formal, and all network members must be able to demonstrate a strong and measurable commitment to the network. HRSA also expects applicants to show a history of collaboration and accomplishments that fit the network's stage of development, meaning the program is tailored to networks that are already functioning and can point to concrete outcomes or progress from working together.
From a funding standpoint, HRSA anticipated making about 15 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $4,500,000. The maximum award amount listed is $300,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA 93.912, which covers rural health care services outreach, rural health network development, and small health care provider quality improvement activities. The notice was originally posted September 25, 2013, with an original closing date of November 22, 2013, later extended to December 9, 2013, and archived January 21, 2014. While those dates reflect the specific cycle of this announcement, they also help situate it as a competitive HRSA rural health network grant focused on advancing integration among rural providers.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or assistance with the application process, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
