Opportunity Summary:
The Telehealth Resource Center Grant Program (TRCGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to build and strengthen Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs) across the United States. The core aim is to create practical, high-performing centers of excellence that can quickly deliver hands-on, tailored technical assistance to organizations and clinicians implementing telehealth. Rather than operating as isolated hubs, the program is built around the idea of a coordinated national network where centers share tools, knowledge, and specialized expertise so that no single region is limited by what it can provide locally. The intended impact is to help health care entities launch and maintain cost-effective telehealth programs that expand access to care, especially in rural and medically underserved communities and among underserved populations.
TRCs funded through this program are expected to support health care organizations, health care networks, and individual providers by guiding them through the real-world challenges of telehealth implementation. That assistance can include planning and program design, workflow integration, selecting and using telehealth technologies, troubleshooting operational barriers, and building sustainable models that can continue after grant support ends. HRSA is specifically looking for applicants with a demonstrated track record of successfully providing technical assistance and helping telehealth programs become sustainable, which signals that the program values proven capacity and practical results over early-stage experimentation.
In this funding cycle, HRSA intends to support up to five Regional Telehealth Resource Centers (RTRCs). These regional centers serve as focal points for advancing effective telehealth use in clinical care within their designated areas, acting as the go-to technical assistance resource for local and regional stakeholders. In addition to the regional awards, the cycle also supports two National Telehealth Resource Centers (NTRCs) with nationwide scope that are meant to reinforce and extend the regional centers work. One national center is focused on specialized technical assistance related to telehealth technology itself, while the other is focused on policy and regulatory issues that commonly affect telehealth programs, including physician and nurse licensure, credentialing and privileging, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and private insurance payment policies. A key program expectation is collaboration across all funded centers so that expertise flows across regions and the overall network can meet demand both locally and nationally.
A stated program goal is statewide coverage, meaning HRSA wants every state to fall within the service area of a TRC. For this cycle, HRSA highlights a set of states that will not have coverage unless applicants propose centers that can serve them. The states explicitly identified as needing coverage include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, parts of New York (Western, Central, and Southern), North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. This list is important for potential applicants because it signals where HRSA is actively seeking proposals to close gaps in the national TRC footprint.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as HRSA-12-097 under CFDA 93.211 (Telehealth Programs). HRSA anticipated five awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,625,000 for the cycle described in the notice. The funding instrument is a grant, cost sharing or matching is not required, and the opportunity was posted February 24, 2012, with an application deadline of April 20, 2012 (and an archive date of June 19, 2012).
Eligibility is broadly open to nonprofit entities, including 501(c)(3) organizations (with proof of nonprofit status required), as well as faith-based, community-based, and tribal nonprofit organizations. The eligibility list also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), along with other categories as clarified in the full announcement. Applicants typically need to show they have the staffing, partnerships, and experience to deliver telehealth technical assistance at the scale and quality required, and to participate in the expected cross-center collaboration that is central to HRSA approach.
