This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Rural Health Care Services Outreach Program (Outreach Program). The Outreach Program is a community-based grant program aimed towards promoting rural health care services by enhancing health care delivery to rural underserved populations in the local community or region. Through consortia of local health care and social service providers, communities can develop innovative approaches to challenges related to the specific health needs in rural areas that expand clinical and service capacity in rural communities. The overarching goals for the Outreach Program are to: • Expand the delivery of health care services to include new and enhanced services exclusively in rural communities; • Deliver health care services through a strong consortium, in which every consortium member organization is actively involved and engaged in the planning and delivery of services; • Utilize community engagement and evidence-based or innovative, evidence informed model(s) in the delivery of health care services; and • Improve population health, and demonstrate health outcomes and sustainability In addition to funding Outreach programs through the Regular Outreach track, in FY 21, FORHP will also afford applicants a unique opportunity to take part in a national effort that targets rural health disparities through a second track called the “Healthy Rural Hometown Initiative.” In 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Rural Health Task Force developed the Healthy Rural Hometown Initiative (HRHI). The HRHI is an effort that seeks to address the underlying factors that are driving growing rural health disparities related to the five leading causes of avoidable death (heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury/substance use, chronic lower respiratory disease, and stroke). A 2019 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report states that in 2017, approximately 61 percent of all deaths in the United States were related to the five leading causes of death and the number of potentially excess deaths from the five leading causes in rural parts of the country was higher than those in urban areas.2 Even though FORHP created the HRHI track to empower rural communities to address the long-standing rural health disparities noted by the CDC, it is important to note that rural racial and ethnic minority populations face even more challenges in terms of access to care and 2 Garcia MC, Rossen LM, Bastian B, et al. Potentially Excess Deaths from the Five Leading Causes of Death in Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Counties — United States, 2010–2017. MMWR Surveill Summ 2019;68(No. SS-10):1–11. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.ss6810a1external icon. related health care challenges that are often overlooked.3 Recognizing the link between health disparities and the five leading causes of death in rural communities, the HRHI track is ideal for applicants who want to identify and bridge the gap between social determinants of health and other systemic issues that contribute to achieving health equity with regards to excess death. For this reason, given the past success of Outreach grants, FORHP strongly encourages applicants to pursue the HRHI track, if it aligns with their community needs. FORHP intends to fund approximately 15 HRHI applicants and HRSA will select top ranked applications from the HRHI track and the Regular Outreach track when making funding decisions. The goal of the HRHI track is to demonstrate the collective impact of projects that better manage conditions, address risk factors and focus on prevention that relate to the leading causes of death (See Background Section). Applicants to the HRHI track will be required to meet specific guidelines outlined in this notice. FORHP expects HRHI projects to show improvements in health outcomes over time that can be attributed to the project intervention(s). Applicants to the HRHI track will be required to use the first year of the four-year project as a planning year to focus on planning activities, which may include, but is not limited to, conducting a Community Assessment in coordination with HRSA. Conversely, Regular Outreach track applicants are expected to focus on the delivery of health care services during all four years of the program and will be required to complete a strategic plan and assessment plan during the first year of the performance period. Please reference Appendix D for a side-by-side comparison of the Regular Outreach track and the HRHI track. Lastly, all award recipients will have the opportunity to work closely with technical assistance (TA) providers throughout the four-year period of performance. The targeted TA will assist award recipients with achieving desired project outcomes, sustainability and strategic planning, and will ensure alignment of the awarded project with the Outreach Program goals. The TA is provided to award recipients at no additional cost. This support is an investment made by FORHP in order to ensure the success of the awarded projects. FORHP has found that most award recipients benefit greatly from the support provided through these collaborations. If funded, award recipients will learn more about the targeted technical assistance and evaluation support.

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Rural Health Clinic Technical Assistance Program. The purpose of this program is to:
• Identify key policy issues and knowledge gaps among RHCs about topics including regulatory and program compliance, billing and reimbursement, quality improvement, best practices around disease management and care coordination, and RHC policy priorities;
• Identify tools, resources and strategies to address policy issues, knowledge gaps and other challenges faced by RHCs; and
• Inform RHCs and other rural stakeholders about key RHC issues that affect, or have the potential to affect, care delivery.
The health care delivery system is evolving, with an emphasis on finding new approaches to improve health outcomes, control costs, and improve population health. Financial incentives are moving from volume-based to value-based services, with a focus on quality of care in all settings and improving transitions of care as patients move between care settings. Within this environment, RHCs provide care to millions of rural residents, often serving as the sole health care provider in a community, and serving as the de facto safety net for rural residents.1,2,3 Many RHCs are small organizations with limited resources. These RHCs require support to effectively participate in the changing health care environment and to prepare for related policy and regulatory changes.
The Rural Health Clinic Technical Assistance Program provides technical assistance (TA) including tools, resources, and strategies that are easily accessible to geographically dispersed RHCs and could be used to inform rural health care providers and other federal, state, and local stakeholders. The TA may also include topics related to public health priorities such as ending the opioid epidemic and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the National Telehealth Resource Center (NTRC) Program. The purpose of NTRCs is to support the delivery of telehealth technical assistance through Regional Telehealth Resource Centers (RTRCs). Two NTRCs may be funded.
Policy NTRC: One NTRC will focus on policy issues of telehealth, such as reimbursement and coverage, licensing, credentialing and privileging, regulation, standards, guidelines and privacy. Many policy issues such as licensure and reimbursement may have state specific considerations and the NTRC will work with each RTRC and with other national or policy specific organizations to insure that telehealth policies are accurately tracked or reported.
Technology NTRC: One NTRC will focus on telehealth technology issues related to, for example, equipment or software, interfacing/integration with other systems, interoperability, technology support and upgrading, cyber security, technology alerts or recalls.
Each NTRC will work to support RTRCs (HRSA-21-022) in their efforts to advance telehealth. Awards are expected to be used for the following core services:
1. providing technical assistance, training, and support, and providing for travel expenses, for health care providers and a range of health care entities that provide or will provide telehealth services;
2. disseminating information and research findings related to telehealth services;
3. promoting effective collaboration among telehealth resource centers and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT), as well as other HRSA award recipients (e.g., Telehealth Centers of Excellence, technical assistance (TA) providers);
4. conducting evaluations to determine the best utilization of telehealth technologies to meet health care needs;
5. promoting the integration of the technologies used in clinical information systems with other telehealth technologies;
6. fostering the use of telehealth technologies to provide health care information and education for consumers in a more effective manner; and
7. implementing special projects or studies under the direction of HRSA.
On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency in response to COVID-19. Should the public health emergency still be in place at the time of this funding notice, and in response to this public health emergency, you may include COVID-19 related activities in your application. Activities could include increased emphasis on support of telehealth directly to consumers or telehealth for public health emergency response. Applicants that focus on such emergency use of telehealth should also outline plans to shift priorities for changing needs and uses of telehealth.
Applicants are encouraged to include populations that have historically suffered from poorer health outcomes, health disparities, and other inequities, as compared to the rest of the rural population, when addressing telehealth technology and policy. Examples of these populations include, but are not limited to, racial and ethnic minorities, people/persons experiencing homelessness, pregnant women, disabled individuals, youth and adolescents, etc.
A NTRC may consider a reasonable fee for continuing assistance in excess of 10 hours of technical assistance provided. The 10-hour limit is to ensure equitable access to technical assistance due to the public nature of the NTRCs. Any fees received by NTRCs must be used to supplement the HRSA award activities, must be listed, and the hours and level of effort related to those fees must be explained in progress and financial reports to HRSA. Further information will be provided in the award notice.

- Purpose
This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies Program. The purpose of this program is to assist rural communities with conducting rapid data analyses and short term issue-specific rural research studies to understand the impact of current and proposed policies and regulations as well as provide information that will improve health care in rural America.
Due to the nature of rural policy analysis and formulation, rural organizations and health care providers often require timely information that is available only through specialized analysis of databases of information compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), other federal and state agencies, or private organizations. The recipient is responsible for collaborating with agencies in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to compile and analyze data that is requested in a timely manner. The recipient will also collaborate with rural stakeholders to determine what data sets are needed. These collaborative efforts are vital because most rural groups and individuals do not have the capacity to store the data sets, the staff expertise to refine and analyze the data, nor the technology necessary to run statistical analyses.
The recipient is required to staff a rapid response data analysis team capable of responding within one to two business days to an estimated one to two data analysis requests per month from rural health stakeholders. In addition to data analysis requests, the recipient must also respond to an estimated five to seven technical assistance requests per month to help rural stakeholders find and use existing research and analysis products produced under this cooperative agreement. The recipient is also expected to design and complete two short term (three to six month) issue-specific rural health services research studies per year. Findings from these analyses will be used to help inform rural health care providers and stakeholders including states, relevant professional associations, organizations focused on improving access to quality health care services in rural communities such as State Offices of Rural Health (SORHs) and State Rural Health Associations (SRHAs), and the National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services.
Rapid Response Data Analysis
In order to acquire the information from the data sets needed to identify trends, problems, and progress in rural health care financing and access to care in rural areas, rural stakeholders must rely on organizations that have the data storage capacity, personnel, and technology resources to provide the information to meet immediate policy needs, often in one to two days. Examples of past data analyses that increased understanding of the impact of health policies on rural communities and stakeholders are:
• Calculating annual costs and revenues reported by Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), and other rural hospitals;
• Analyzing the number of CAH patient days that are swing bed admissions vs. acute care admissions;
• Mapping travel routes and distances between rural hospitals nationwide; and
• Compiling detailed data on rural hospital closures, openings, and mergers from 2005 to 2020.
Each of these analyses required access to and familiarity with data sets that would have been prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of rural health care providers and organizations to analyze in a timely manner.
Issue Specific Research Studies
At the same time, the ever-changing nature of the rural policy environment sometimes necessitates short-term research and analysis of emerging policy issues. This work is more elaborate than rapid response needs, requiring data construction and analyses that involve more resources than the one to two day rapid response work described above. This work is expected to be completed in three to six months. Examples of past short term issue-specific rural research studies include:
• 2019 Wage Index Differences and Selected Characteristics of Rural and Urban Hospitals; and
• Characteristics of Communities Served by Rural Hospitals Predicted to be at High Risk of Financial Distress in 2019
These and other examples of issue-specific rural research studies funded under the Rapid Response Rural Data Analysis and Issue Specific Rural Research Studies Program are available on the Rural Health Research Gateway (www.ruralhealthresearch.org).

The purpose of this program is to establish and maintain a national, multi-site, collaborative research network for scientific collaboration and infrastructure building. This Research Network will provide national leadership in research to advance the evidence base in the developmental, behavioral, and psychosocial aspects of pediatric care to improve clinical services and health and related outcomes for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD) across the lifespan. It will work to develop effective interventions1 in clinical services and to improve health and related outcomes for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD).
The Research Network will:
• Lead, promote, and coordinate national research activities to improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents with ASD/DD, especially those from underserved2 populations who may have limited access to effective ASD/DD treatments;3
• Develop and maintain an infrastructure to support the design of a portfolio of interdisciplinary research that focuses on fostering the implementation of multi-site intervention research studies, translating research to policy and practice that meets the needs of all children (including those traditionally underserved);
• Coordinate a plan to enhance the research training and mentorship of diverse emerging investigators from traditionally underserved backgrounds through the use of innovative mentorship/research experiences and manuscript development;4 and
• Address, where applicable, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) and Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) priorities, namely, mental health and telehealth.
For cooperative agreement activities, please see Project Narrative Section III.
