Virginia Is Awake

What it buys

A statewide rural RPM subaward opportunity for organizations that can deploy, operate, and evaluate connected monitoring for patients with chronic or high-risk conditions. The RFA emphasizes practical care-team integration, patient engagement, escalation workflows, data quality, and measurable reductions in avoidable utilization.

Who should look

Best suited to rural health systems, provider networks, care-management organizations, and technology partners with a licensed Virginia delivery partner. Strong proposals will show how devices become a reliable clinical workflow rather than a standalone equipment purchase.

What it buys

Virginia is funding the connective tissue behind rural transformation: EHR modernization, electronic data exchange, cybersecurity, network capacity, and related technology that helps providers coordinate care. The RFA requires projects to align with at least one defined interoperability objective and to produce measurable implementation results.

Who should look

A fit for rural hospitals, health systems, independent practices, FQHCs, rural health clinics, charitable clinics, educational institutions, and other eligible entities capable of receiving a federal subaward. Technology vendors should position around an eligible rural applicant and a concrete implementation plan.

What it buys

Virginia is putting direct RHTP dollars behind the rural physician pipeline. The RFA supports graduate medical education, new or expanded rural training capacity, and recruitment and retention pathways intended to grow a locally rooted workforce.

Who should look

Hospitals and health systems are the eligible Budget Period 1 applicants. Competitive applications will need a credible training model, rural service pathway, staffing and supervision plan, measurable workforce outcomes, and a sustainability story beyond the first budget period.
