New Hampshire's Rural Health Transformation Program continues active implementation, with multiple RFAs and RFQs open and rolling provider applications underway across all core initiatives. Key contracts, including for rural hospital transformation, technical assistance, and workforce initiatives, are currently soliciting applications. Awards for the initial cohort are expected by the end of 2026, with additional cycles planned, and funding opportunities are managed through state partners such as the Foundation for Healthy Communities and the University System of New Hampshire. Five program hubs remain operational, coordinating project selection and technical assistance statewide. State opportunities: 7 active (4 open, 3 closing soon, 11 past/closed), $153.8M listed funding. Key opportunities: RFP 212026957 for Marketing, Branding, Communications, and Digital Engagement Services supporting GO-NORTH RHT Workforce Initiative; GO-NORTH Access Initiative (Technology, Financial Sustainability, and Access for Rural Hospitals in New Hampshire) — 2026 Request for Applications; GO-NORTH Rural Primary Care Transformation Funding Opportunity. Strategy alignment: supports workforce, telehealth, care access priorities.
New Hampshire’s RHTP maintains a statewide transformation strategy through GO-NORTH’s five strategic initiatives, implemented by regional Hubs and coordinated with the Governor, Executive Council, Foundation for Healthy Communities, Community Development Finance Authority, and Health Strategies for NH. The strategy emphasizes milestone-driven grantmaking, infrastructure and workforce investments, targeted technical assistance, and rigorous external evaluation, with ongoing procurements for regional primary care, workforce engagement, and technology modernization. This approach remains aligned with CMS funding and program milestones, supporting readiness-based and scalable care transformation in rural areas.
