NACDS is offering optional, one-on-one, state-specific support sessions to assist chain members with their Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) efforts. Sessions are available every Wednesday, with four 30-minute time slots focused on state-level RHTP pharmacy engagement opportunities.
Interested chain members may schedule a session.
The department is reviewing nearly 1,800 Letters of Interest (LOI) received during the March 11 submission deadline and expects to notify applicants of their status by mid-May 2026. Project Implementation applicants selected to advance will have approximately three weeks to submit full applications through the Alaska Community Foundation portal beginning in mid-May, while Planning and Readiness applicants will be asked for additional project details to execute grant agreements.
Session 2 registration is open for the interactive RHTP Impacts Webinar Series covering the six program initiatives, and the state anticipates opening Year 2 LOI submissions in late summer 2026. To register for each of the six program initiatives webinars, please click "View +" to access the registration link for "Session 2".
