This grant opportunity provides approximately $11.65 million in noncompetitive, formula-based funding as a set-aside from California’s CalRHT (California Rural Health Transformation) allocation. The entire amount is reserved for eligible Tribal Health Programs (THPs) owned and operated by federally recognized Tribes, with awards based on eligibility pathway and confirmed rural clinic sites. Eligible THPs may request funding for recruitment/retention, EHR modernization, and/or family medicine-obstetrics fellowship capacity. There is no competitive narrative or ranking, and all verified, qualifying THPs receive a base allocation with potential site-based additions. Request for Applications for the state Rural Health Transformation Program. Total funding available: $11,650,000.
Eligible applicants are health programs owned and operated by federally recognized Tribes with qualifying sites: either as 'rural THPs' (having at least one HRSA-defined rural clinic site with a licensed clinician) or 'urban-located, rural-serving THPs' (no rural clinic site, but 50% or more of patients are rural). Additional specific eligible organization types include: rural hospitals, CAHs, FQHCs/Look-Alikes, Rural Health Clinics (RHC), Tribal Clinics, IHS-designated facilities, comprehensive community health clinics, regional collaborations/consortia, and health care districts serving rural California.
