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.
Rhode Island formally received approval from CMS on the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). The Executive Officer of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) and other state agencies will soon begin accepting applications for grant funding as described in the grant narrative document. You will see descriptions of 13 Initiatives and multiple projects in which they are seeking community partners to help strengthen the state's rural health care and social service systems.
The Rhode Island Division of Purchases invites you to attend virtual training for those interested in RHTP funding. The session will be held on May 6 from 9:00 am–10:00 am. To attend, you must register online.
This training will provide an overview of the application process and key steps to participating in RHTP funding opportunities, including:
- Registering in the Ocean State Procures System
- Identifying vendor and funding opportunities
- Understanding application requirements and next steps
