Opportunity Summary:
The State Rural Health Coordination and Development Cooperative Agreement (SRHCD CA) is a federal funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), through its Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP), focused on strengthening rural health infrastructure across every state. The core idea is to bolster State Offices of Rural Health (SORHs) by giving them stronger guidance, practical technical assistance, and a clearer pathway for sharing and scaling best practices. Rather than funding direct clinical services, this cooperative agreement is geared toward building the capacity, leadership, coordination, and information-sharing systems that help rural health programs function better and work together more efficiently.
The opportunity is built around two main goals. First, it aims to improve coordination of health care delivery in rural areas by developing stronger state-level rural health leadership. That includes helping SORHs serve as effective statewide focal points that can convene partners, identify gaps, set priorities, and reduce duplicated efforts. Second, it is designed to strengthen partnerships and collaboration both within states and nationally so that SORHs can exchange information, learn from one another, and work jointly on issues affecting rural health. In practice, the program emphasizes creating better networks and coordination mechanisms so rural communities can maximize limited resources and avoid running parallel efforts that do not connect.
The announcement highlights the typical role SORHs play and why enhancing their capabilities matters. SORHs commonly support recruitment and retention of rural health providers, provide technical assistance on rural health programs, offer guidance on rural health systems and best practices, track and communicate key rural health issues, and lead coordination efforts that align stakeholders across a state. By improving leadership skills and technical abilities at the state level, the cooperative agreement aims to make these offices more effective at sustaining long-term rural health infrastructure, not just responding to short-term needs.
A key feature of this funding mechanism is that it is a cooperative agreement, meaning HRSA/ORHP expects significant involvement in what is funded and how the work is carried out. HRSA/ORHP staff participate actively in selecting projects and in shaping, developing, and implementing the recipient’s work plan. The recipient is expected to engage SORHs and their partners in planning, operating, and evaluating funded activities, including identifying technical assistance needs and development priorities and selecting how those supports will be delivered. The recipient also serves as the central planning body for SORH meetings, trainings, and workgroups during the project period, ensuring those activities are organized, purposeful, and aligned with national and state priorities. In addition, the awardee must submit key deliverables (such as program documents, curricula, agendas, program plans, budgets, proposed subcontracts or subgrants, and key personnel lists including consultants/contractors) to HRSA/ORHP for review and approval before those materials are printed, distributed, or implemented, reinforcing the hands-on federal partnership structure.
Funding details indicate HRSA expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding opportunity number is HRSA-10-056, and it falls under CFDA 93.913, Grants to States for Operation of Offices of Rural Health. It was posted February 25, 2010, with an application closing date of April 16, 2010, and an archive date of June 15, 2010, meaning it is an older, archived opportunity but still useful as a reference for program intent and cooperative-agreement expectations.
Eligibility is aimed at a specific type of organization capable of operating at both national and state levels. Applicants must be public nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities) with a demonstrated service commitment to rural health and deep expertise in rural health issues nationally and within states. The applicant must show a proven track record working on state-based rural health priorities such as provider recruitment and retention, helping community-based organizations secure funding for rural health projects, and identifying and facilitating discussions around rural health challenges. Applicants also need experience working across a broad range of rural health interest groups, indicating HRSA is looking for an organization that can convene diverse stakeholders and translate shared priorities into practical, coordinated action.
