Public description

About the program

HRSA's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy funds rural health networks through the Rural Health Network Development Program and the Rural Health Network Development Planning Program, which support rural providers in forming and formalizing collaborative networks to improve access and sustainability. HRSA also funds Rural Health Innovation and Transformation technical assistance. These are structured multi-year grant programs with defined cohorts of award recipients, not equity investment programs.
