Opportunity Summary:
The Telehealth Resource Center Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 14 079) is a discretionary grant offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support the establishment and development of Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs). The central aim is to strengthen telehealth capacity nationwide by funding centers that can deliver practical, tailored technical assistance to organizations and clinicians who are trying to plan, launch, expand, or improve telehealth services. A key emphasis is on accelerating telehealth adoption in rural and medically underserved areas and among underserved populations, where access barriers and resource constraints often make implementation harder.
Under this opportunity, TRCs are expected to function as hubs of expertise that help health care organizations, health care networks, and individual providers implement cost-effective telehealth programs. In practice, this technical assistance can include guidance on telehealth program design and workflows, technology selection and integration, operational and clinical best practices, and strategies for sustainability. The program also highlights collaboration among TRCs so that specialized knowledge available in one region can be shared more broadly, ensuring that no single area is limited to only the expertise found locally. In other words, the TRC network is intended to operate as a connected national resource, not just a set of isolated regional projects.
The announcement anticipated making 2 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $650,000. The maximum (ceiling) amount per award was $325,000, and the minimum (floor) was listed as $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding activity falls under the health category, and the associated CFDA number listed is 93.211 (Telehealth Programs).
Eligibility was broadly oriented toward nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and tribal-related entities such as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations. The eligibility notes also specify that faith-based, community-based, and tribal nonprofit organizations are eligible, with the caveat that applicants should consult the full funding opportunity announcement for any additional conditions or clarifications.
Key dates for the opportunity reflect the original competition timeline. The opportunity was posted on December 26, 2013, with a creation date of January 2, 2014. The application closing date was February 25, 2014 (both the original and current closing date), and the opportunity was later archived on April 26, 2014. For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (877 464 4772) as well as the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
