Opportunity Summary:
The Telehealth Resource Center Grant Program (TRCGP), Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09 195, is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund the establishment and continued development of Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs). The central aim is to strengthen telehealth capacity in rural and medically underserved communities by creating well equipped centers that can guide health care organizations, provider networks, and individual clinicians through the practical steps of planning, launching, improving, and sustaining telehealth services. The program is structured around the idea that mature, proven telehealth programs and consortia are best positioned to mentor and support newer or developing efforts, while also serving as a shared resource for existing programs that want to become more effective, more financially sustainable, and more accountable in how they deliver telehealth care.
In practice, funded TRCs are expected to function as technical assistance hubs. They help applicants and client organizations solve real world implementation problems such as choosing appropriate clinical telehealth models, integrating workflows into busy care settings, selecting and using technology effectively, and designing services that are cost effective rather than experimental or wasteful. A major emphasis is helping telehealth programs demonstrate performance and value, which includes measuring outcomes, tracking utilization, evaluating service effectiveness, and using those findings to improve quality and sustainability over time. Because the target beneficiaries are rural and medically underserved areas and populations, the overall intent is to reduce access barriers and strengthen health system capacity where specialist access, emergency coverage, chronic disease support, and training resources are often limited.
The opportunity anticipated making 6 awards with an estimated total funding amount of 1,800,000 dollars. The listed CFDA number is 93.211 (Telehealth Programs). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means awardees are not required to contribute a set portion of non federal funds to receive or maintain the award. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health. The announcement was posted March 13, 2009, with an application closing date of April 22, 2009, and it was later archived June 29, 2009.
Eligibility is limited to public or private nonprofit organizations. The announcement explicitly notes that faith based and community based organizations may apply, and American Indian and or Alaska Native Tribal Organizations are also eligible if they meet the stated criteria. Beyond organizational type, the program places strong emphasis on demonstrated expertise and the ability to provide high quality assistance across a wide range of telehealth topics. For Regional TRCs, applicants must show deep experience in the operational and business aspects of developing a successful telehealth program, including the ability to measure performance and evaluate services. Regional centers must also demonstrate substantive experience in at least four of these service areas: clinical outpatient specialty care, critical or emergency care, residential telehealth (home care) and chronic disease management, nursing home or inpatient care, distance education training and information dissemination, store and forward services, and teleradiology. If a Regional TRC is not expert in one or more areas, it must show it can fill those gaps through formal partnerships such as contracts or memoranda of agreement with other organizations.
The program also references a National TRC role with a distinct set of required competencies that are more policy, regulatory, and systems oriented. This includes expertise in reimbursement across Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance; licensure issues and related legislative and regulatory matters; privacy, security, and confidentiality requirements at federal and state levels; Food and Drug Administration regulation; telecommunications legal and regulatory issues; and private credentialing and accreditation topics such as those associated with major accrediting bodies. In other words, the National TRC focus is on the rules and infrastructure that often determine whether telehealth programs can scale legally and financially, while Regional TRCs emphasize hands on implementation and service delivery support.
For reference and applicant support, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal and offered help via the HRSA Call Center for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement. Contact details included CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and phone support through HRSA.
