EOHHS RFA (Bid BD-27-1039-EHS01-EHS01-134186, Alternate Id 27EHSCARHTPRURALPARTNERSRFA) inviting qualified rural entities to participate in implementing Massachusetts's RHTP. This is an umbrella application covering MA RHTP's 7 initiatives and dozens of distinct activities (e.g. MY Care youth coordination, remote patient monitoring, home visiting, mobile health units, specialty care networks, Rural Digital Health Sandbox, SHINE-HT tech adoption, chronic disease prevention, HIE/interoperability hubs, rural hospital/primary-care/nursing-facility capital awards). Per-activity award amounts vary widely by activity (examples found in the RFA text: ~$75,000-$100,000 per region for CBO network activities, up to $2.5M per facility for rural hospital capital awards, $500K-$1.5M for rural primary care sites, $125K-$1M for nursing facilities) rather than one program-wide amount - the RFA states final direct-funding amounts are determined after application review. Eligible applicants are rural-located/serving hospitals, FQHCs, RHCs, providers/practices, municipalities, and CBOs per the MA DPH rural definition.
Rural-located or rural-serving hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (meeting HRSA rural-site or 5,000+ rural-patient criteria), Rural Health Clinics, rural-located healthcare providers/practices, municipalities, and community-based/social-service organizations, per the criteria in MA DPH's rural definition and list (RFA Attachment C).
