The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) opened the RHTP Request for Application (RFA), with a submission deadline of 11:59 pm on August 3. Applicants should review the updated eligibility document (revised July 15) and the RHTP FAQs before applying. Organizations seeking co-applicant partnerships may submit the Potential Grantee Partnership Interest Form, with results posted to a public partnership interest spreadsheet.

Several near-term engagement opportunities remain before the application deadline. RHTP Office Hours are scheduled for July 21 (12:00 pm–1:00 pm), July 23 (1:00 pm–2:00 pm), and July 27 (12:00 pm–1 pm), with the RHTP Advisory Committee meeting also convening on July 27 from 10:00 am–11:30 am. The most recent webinar recording, How to Fill Out the Work Plan and Budget (July 8), is now posted alongside earlier sessions covering allowable costs, budgeting and partnership structures. The July 15 program newsletter is also available. Pharmacies and other eligible rural health providers are encouraged to confirm eligibility and explore the Available Vendor Partnership List for potential collaborators.
