Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Research to Diverse Audiences grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-168) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) program offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee should expect active involvement and collaboration with the federal agency rather than operating in a completely hands-off grant arrangement. The main purpose is to support research that both designs and puts into practice multiple approaches for translating and delivering rural health research to a wide range of decision makers. The emphasis is not just on producing rural health findings, but on figuring out the most effective ways to tailor, package, and communicate those findings so they are usable by different audiences at the national, state, and community levels.
In practical terms, the project focus is on dissemination strategy and audience targeting. The funded work is intended to develop, test, and implement more than one method for reaching key stakeholders who influence rural health policy and programs. Those stakeholders may include federal and state policymakers, state offices of rural health, health department leaders, rural hospital and clinic administrators, community coalitions, and other local decision makers who need evidence to guide choices. The opportunity highlights the challenge that research often fails to reach the people who can apply it, so the goal is to build and evaluate intentional dissemination pathways that match the needs, timelines, and formats preferred by each type of decision maker.
HRSA anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. The program is listed under CFDA 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible organizations that may not have unrestricted funds to contribute. The opportunity was posted on February 5, 2009, with an application closing date of April 6, 2009, and it was later archived on June 5, 2009.
Eligibility is broadly open to public and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations, but the requirements make it clear HRSA was looking for applicants with a proven record in rural health research dissemination. Applicants are expected to have significant experience specifically in disseminating and targeting rural research, not simply conducting research. In addition, the principal investigator must demonstrate scholarly credibility in rural health: they must have authored or co-authored at least two peer-reviewed journal articles on rural health published since January 1, 2000. This requirement signals that HRSA wanted leadership with both research credentials and the capacity to translate evidence into formats that influence real-world decisions.
Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants would typically need to be prepared for structured coordination with HRSA, such as aligning dissemination products with agency priorities, participating in regular progress communications, and ensuring outputs are accessible and useful to intended audiences. The announcement also provides a support contact for access issues and questions through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support (877-464-4772; 301-998-7373). The additional information link provided in the notice points to HRSA's grant posting page for the full announcement details.
