Supports rural primary care transformation projects in New Hampshire across FQHCs, RHCs, Critical Access Hospitals, and other rural clinics through team-based, technology-enabled, value-driven, and sustainable models. Provides direct funds for three program stages: Project Development, Preparatory Investments, and Program Ready implementation projects. Higher awards are available for regional, multi-organization partnerships demonstrating shared infrastructure, service delivery, or risk. Proposals must address all four Rural Primary Care Focus Areas: 1) Innovative care models, 2) Technology adoption with ROI, 3) Transition to value-based care, and 4) Financial sustainability and operational efficiency. Priority given to organizations serving Medicaid, with clear sliding fee policies, and those demonstrating strong partnerships for integrated, scalable change.
Eligible applicants: Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), FQHC Look-Alikes, Rural Health Clinics (provider-based or independent), physician or nurse practitioner-led rural primary care practices, and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) with rural clinics, or in partnership with a rural provider. Applicants must meet rural eligibility through one of three pathways: Path A – location in a HRSA-defined rural area, Path B – holding a federal rural designation, or Path C – primarily serving rural NH residents (document that the beneficiaries of the award reside in HRSA-eligible rural areas). The lead applicant must be an eligible organization; regional partnerships are encouraged and partners may include EMS, oral and behavioral health, home health agencies, and other community entities. The following are ineligible: organizations that participated in the design of this RFA (per 2 CFR §200.318(c)); organizations or activities already funded through GO-NORTH or a GO-NORTH Hub; and organizations with unresolved legal proceedings with any government entity.
