Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot (Funding Opportunity Number VA RVCP 2013) is a discretionary grant program announced by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs through Interagency Health Affairs. Its purpose is to fund coordination efforts that improve support for veterans and their families in rural or otherwise underserved communities, with an explicit emphasis on helping those who are transitioning from military to civilian life. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening local and regional networks that connect veterans to services, benefits, health care, and community-based resources, particularly in places where access can be limited by distance, provider shortages, transportation barriers, or fragmented service systems.
The VA set aside a total of $10,000,000 for this pilot over a two-year period. The agency anticipated making five awards, and the notice indicates that each of those awards would be $2,000,000, aligning with an award ceiling of $2,000,000. While the program lists an award floor of $100,000, the stated plan for this specific NOFA is to make five large, $2 million grants, suggesting the floor reflects general program parameters rather than the intended award size under this particular competition.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as “Other,” with clarification that it pertains to the Rural Veterans Coordination pilot. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. Eligibility is described as “unrestricted,” meaning the competition is open to any entity type, subject to any additional eligibility details that might be included in the full announcement (referenced via the Federal Register link).
Key administrative details include a posted date of June 12, 2013, and an original closing date of July 19, 2013. The closing date was later extended to October 4, 2013, with the notice stating that a two-week extension was implemented for applicants experiencing technical difficulties of any kind. The program is associated with CFDA number 64.038, titled “Grants for the Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot,” which is the catalog identifier used for federal assistance tracking and reporting.
