Opportunity Summary:
The Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP), offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to show, in practical and measurable ways, how telehealth networks can strengthen access to high-quality health care in rural and underserved areas. The core purpose is demonstration: applicants are expected to build or operate telehealth programs and networks that can clearly illustrate improvements in access, coordination, and quality of care for medically underserved populations, including those in frontier communities. Even though the program recognizes that health systems and organizations may be based in either urban or rural locations, legislative limits require that funded projects primarily serve rural communities.
TNGP-funded networks are intended to support several major functions. First, they can be used to expand access to care by connecting patients in rural areas with providers and specialists who might otherwise be unavailable locally, helping reduce delays, travel burdens, and gaps in specialty services. Second, networks can improve coordination and overall quality of services, for example by enabling shared care planning, remote consults, follow-up visits, or integrated management of chronic conditions across multiple sites. Third, the program supports efforts that improve and expand training for health care providers, which can include tele-education, remote mentorship, and clinical support for rural clinicians who may be practicing with limited onsite resources. Finally, TNGP networks may focus on expanding and improving the quality of health information available to clinicians and to patients and their families, helping people make better-informed decisions through better access to expertise, educational resources, and guidance delivered through telehealth channels.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 12-092) was posted on February 24, 2012, with an application closing date of April 13, 2012, and an archive date of June 12, 2012. HRSA anticipated making about 14 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $3,500,000. Individual awards were capped at $250,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of funding.
Eligibility is relatively broad, but it is structured around the idea of a network delivering telehealth or telehomecare services to rural communities. Eligible applicants include rural or urban nonprofit entities that will provide services through either a telehealth network (TNGP TH) or a telehomecare network (TNGP THC). The individual entities participating within the network can be nonprofit or for-profit organizations, which allows networks to include a mix of hospitals, clinics, service organizations, and other partners as appropriate. Eligible applicant types specifically include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). Faith-based and community-based organizations, as well as tribal organizations, are also explicitly noted as eligible to apply, reinforcing that HRSA is open to different organizational structures as long as the proposed network meets program goals and serves rural communities.
For applicants or interested parties who need more detail, HRSA provided an official additional information link through its grants portal and directed people who have trouble accessing the announcement to contact the HRSA Call Center by phone (877-464-4772) or email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV).
