Rural Health Outreach and Rural Network Development Program

The Office of Rural Health Policy announces that fiscal year 1997 funds are available for grants under the Rural Health Outreach, Network Development, and Telemedicine Grant Program. This announcement deals with the Rural Outreach and Rural Network Development aspects of the program. The Telemedicine grants will be announced separately. Two kinds of projects will be funded under this announcement: (1) Rural Outreach Grants for the development of innovative new service delivery systems in rural areas where support is provided for the actual delivery of new services or enhancement of existing services, and (2) Rural Network Development Grants for the planning and development of vertically integrated networks in rural areas where the emphasis is placed not on the actual delivery of services, but on efforts to restructure the delivery system in rural communities. Funds were appropriated for these grants under Public Law 104-208. The grants are authorized by Section 330A of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Health Centers Consolidation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-299. Applicants may not apply for both the Rural Outreach Grants and the Rural Network Development Grants. NATI
