Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Health Research Dissemination Cooperative Agreement (HRSA-13-165) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on making rural health research easier to find, understand, and use in real policy and operational decisions. The program, previously called the Rural Research to Diverse Audiences Cooperative Agreement, is centered on disseminating and marketing policy-oriented information drawn from the full portfolio of Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP)-funded work produced by all Rural Health Research Centers (RHRCs). Rather than funding new primary research, the emphasis is on translating the existing body of ORHP-supported research into practical, accessible products and channels that reach the people who can apply it.
The intended audiences are broad and deliberately diverse. The award is meant to serve rural stakeholders and partners at the national, state, and community levels, along with policy decision makers and policy analysts who shape rural health programs and systems. The materials disseminated through this cooperative agreement are intended to inform and raise awareness about rural health policy implications and the realities of access, quality, status, and management of health care delivery and services in rural communities. The scope of topics is wide and can include, among many others, access to care for underinsured and uninsured populations, health care quality and outcomes, home health, rural health clinics, and racial and ethnic disparities. A key point in the announcement is that while each RHRC shares its own findings, rural audiences benefit from a single, coherent source that summarizes and organizes the entire ORHP-funded research portfolio so decision makers can see patterns, compare findings, and use the evidence more efficiently.
The project is structured as a four-year activity with ongoing responsibilities throughout the project period. Core expectations include maintaining and continuously updating the Rural Health Research website and an associated Listserv. Updates are not limited to posting new items; they also include tracking and reflecting changes in project status over time, such as when a newly funded research project becomes a completed report or a peer-reviewed journal article. The announcement also calls for annual accountability: at the end of each year, the recipient must submit a progress report to the ORHP Research Coordinator that includes an evaluation using applicable metrics to assess the impact of that year’s dissemination and marketing activities. This implies a strong performance-management component where the recipient is expected to measure reach and usefulness, not simply produce materials.
Funding details indicate HRSA expects to make a single award under this opportunity (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as $120,000, with an award floor of $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more active federal role in project oversight and collaboration than a standard grant, aligning with the program’s emphasis on coordinated, portfolio-wide dissemination and consistent updates across ORHP-funded research outputs.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and nonprofit entities. Specifically listed eligible applicants include county governments, state governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education as a category), as well as other entities as clarified in the opportunity’s eligibility text. The announcement also explicitly notes that faith-based and community-based organizations, Tribes, and tribal organizations are eligible to apply (including Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, as listed). Administrative details show the opportunity was posted November 15, 2012, with a closing date of January 14, 2013, and it was archived March 15, 2013. The CFDA listing is 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers), tying the dissemination work directly to the broader ORHP rural health research enterprise.
For applicants or interested parties who need the official materials or have access issues, HRSA provides a program link to the full announcement and directs inquiries to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, 877-464-4772).
