Opportunity Summary:
The Telehealth Resource Center Grant Program (TRCGP) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to build and strengthen Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs) that function as hands-on “centers of excellence” for telehealth technical assistance. The core idea is to speed up and tailor support for organizations that are trying to launch, expand, or improve telehealth services, especially for rural communities and medically underserved populations. Rather than having each area reinvent the wheel, the program expects TRCs to work together nationally, sharing tools, expertise, and proven practices so that even regions without a deep bench of telehealth specialists can still access high-quality guidance.
Funding under this announcement is intended to support two complementary types of centers. First are Regional Telehealth Resource Centers (RTRCs), which act as practical, regionally focused hubs that help local providers and networks use telehealth effectively for clinical care. These regional centers are expected to be the on-the-ground experts who understand the realities of implementation, such as workflow redesign, technology selection, staffing models, sustainability planning, and training for clinicians and administrators. Second is a single National Telehealth Resource Center (NRTRC), which is expected to concentrate on telehealth policy and regulatory barriers that can make or break telehealth adoption. That national role includes issues like physician and nurse licensure, credentialing and privileging, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and private insurance payment policies, all specifically as they relate to telehealth. The national center must show real experience navigating policy at the state, local, and national levels, and it is also expected to support the regional centers by translating complex policy landscapes into actionable guidance.
A major program goal is nationwide coverage, with HRSA’s Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) aiming to have every state served by a TRC. In this particular funding cycle, OAT specifically sought applicants able to provide TRC coverage for Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Hawaii, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The expectation is that, collectively, funded TRCs will operate as a coordinated network, collaborating rather than competing, so that technical assistance demands can be met both within each region and across the country when specialized expertise is needed.
Grant-funded activities are centered on practical assistance and field-building. TRCs are expected to provide technical assistance, training, and ongoing support to health care providers and many types of health care organizations and networks, including HRSA grantees that already offer telehealth or are preparing to do so. They are also expected to disseminate reliable information and research findings related to telehealth services, help promote effective collaboration among TRCs and OAT, and conduct evaluations that identify how telehealth technologies can best be used to meet health care needs. Another emphasis is integration: TRCs should encourage approaches that connect telehealth tools with clinical information systems and other technologies so telehealth is not a standalone add-on but part of a coherent care delivery and information ecosystem. The program also encourages the use of telehealth to improve how health information and education are delivered to both clinicians and consumers, and it allows for special projects or studies when directed by OAT.
From an applicant standpoint, HRSA was looking for organizations with a strong track record of successful telehealth technical assistance and demonstrated capability to help organizations develop sustainable telehealth programs, not just pilot projects. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit entities, including faith-based, community-based, and tribal nonprofit organizations (with proof of nonprofit status required). The announcement lists eligible applicants as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), tribal nonprofit organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and other entities as clarified in the full eligibility guidance. Importantly, applicants were expected to show significant telehealth experience, aligning with the program’s focus on practical, tested expertise.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as HRSA-13-167 under CFDA 93.211 (Telehealth Programs). HRSA anticipated making about four awards, with individual award amounts generally ranging from $300,000 to $325,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The original posting date was December 21, 2012, and the application deadline for this cycle was February 25, 2013, with the archive date listed as April 26, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, HRSA directed inquiries to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided a phone contact line (877-464-4772).
