Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Health Research Dissemination Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-002) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under CFDA 93.155. It is designed to strengthen how rural health services research is shared with the people who can use it, especially policymakers, program leaders, practitioners, and rural community stakeholders at the national, state, and local levels. Rather than funding new research projects, the opportunity centers on making existing federally funded rural health research easier to find, understand, and apply to real policy and community decisions, with an overall goal of increasing awareness of key rural health policy issues.
The research to be disseminated is primarily produced through the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), which funds health services research largely through its Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) cooperative agreements. The successful applicant is expected to serve as a central dissemination hub for this full body of FORHP-funded work. A major required deliverable is the development and ongoing maintenance of a public-facing website that houses and organizes the complete portfolio of FORHP-funded rural health services research, ensuring it is easy to navigate and freely accessible. In practice, this implies not only posting reports and products, but also structuring the site so users can quickly locate relevant materials, track emerging themes, and access content without barriers.
Beyond the website, the awardee must build and maintain an active dissemination and marketing strategy that reaches multiple audiences through multiple channels. The announcement specifically calls for a mix of tools and outreach mechanisms, including (but not limited to) maintaining a listserv, operating social media accounts, delivering presentations and hosting exhibits at national conferences, and producing webinars. Taken together, these activities point to an expectation of consistent, proactive communication, not just passive posting of documents. The intent is to translate and circulate findings so they show up in the spaces where decisions are made and where rural stakeholders gather information.
Only one award is expected under this opportunity, emphasizing that HRSA is looking for a single entity to coordinate and manage dissemination efforts at a national level. The eligible applicant category includes Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments) and other entities as described in the full eligibility text of the announcement. The original announcement was created on September 2, 2016, with an original closing date of December 14, 2016. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that applicants should rely on the full funding details in the complete notice rather than assuming a standard maximum from the summary field.
