Oregon has launched the Catalyst Awards Request for Grant Proposals (RFGP) with applications due May 26 at 3:00 pm PT. This competitive funding opportunity supports local organizations implementing transformative rural health projects across four key initiatives: Healthy Communities & Prevention, Workforce Capacity & Resilience, Technology & Data Modernization, and Regional Partnerships. John Gardner is serving as the single point of contact for questions. Organizations can access informational webinar recordings and presentation materials to learn more about application requirements; scroll down and click on "Past Webinars & Materials". 

Vendors interested in partnering with local entities applying for RHTP funding can complete a vendor interest form to be included in a publicly accessible directory for potential collaboration opportunities. The state has also established a database of interested vendors to help facilitate partnerships between vendors and grant applicants preparing proposals for the RFGP process. 

For more information, contact NACDS’ Jermaine Smith at 7038374388.
