Opportunity Summary:
The Targeted Rural Health Research Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09 167) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that funds policy-relevant rural health services research. The program is designed to support 18-month research studies focused on a limited set of priority topic areas that are refreshed each year. The intent is not just to produce academic findings, but to generate and disseminate research that can inform policy discussions and decision-making on rural health issues of national significance. For FY 2009, applicants were directed to consult the FY09 guidance, specifically the section on “Other Limitations Research Areas,” to confirm which research topics were eligible that year.
HRSA anticipated making about three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $450,000 across all awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers), reflecting its placement within HRSA’s broader rural health research portfolio.
Eligibility is relatively broad in terms of organizational type, but it comes with several specific restrictions. Public, private, and nonprofit organizations can apply, including faith-based and community-based organizations, as long as they can receive funds directly and manage the project without using a financial intermediary. In practical terms, the applicant organization must be able to exercise administrative and programmatic control over the work, have appropriate administrative and accounting systems to manage federal grant funds, and have some permanent research staff already in place at the time of application. HRSA also allowed applications from investigators who are new to rural health services research as well as those with an established track record, but the proposed principal investigator had to have at least one peer-reviewed journal publication as an author or co-author, signaling a baseline expectation of research experience and the ability to publish scholarly work.
The announcement also included notable “cooling-off” rules meant to spread funding opportunities and avoid duplicative support. Organizations that had received a Targeted Rural Health Research Grant award (or its earlier version, the One Year Rural Health Research Grant Program used in 2005 and 2006) within the prior three years were not eligible for FY 2009 funding. Specifically, institutions funded in September 2006, 2007, or 2008 under that program were excluded. In addition, schools that received a Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) award in 2008 were ineligible for this targeted grant program in FY 2009, because they were already receiving HRSA research funding for a closely related purpose. An important nuance is that separate schools within the same university could still be eligible, indicating HRSA was distinguishing eligibility at the school or unit level rather than automatically disqualifying an entire university system.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on February 13, 2009, and the application closing date was April 13, 2009 (with the original and current closing dates the same). The opportunity was later archived on June 5, 2009. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to HRSA’s Call Center (877-464-4772) or to email CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and HRSA provided an external link to the full solicitation materials.
