Note: over the weekend we did some backend work that locked value from upgrades to our scrapers. We’re capturing much more opportunity information from subrecipients and other delegated administatrators, and we’ve integrated that into our system. We’re now tracking more than 2,000 awards, with contact information for thousands grantees. This wider funnel is paying off in the quality of information we’re able to put in the newsletter and also feed our custom data products like RHTP Verified Intelligence.

Also: CMS reported new outlay data— 80% of states have received payments on RHTP. Here’s the states who have yet to receive funds:

In this issue:

  • Colorado publishes the Potential Grantee Partnership Interest spreadsheet, 43 organizations with named contacts, ahead of end-of-September awards on $200.1 million

  • New Hampshire is running a rolling Request for Qualifications: Technical Assistance Consultants for RCHIP, and the program pays for the grant administrator every awardee is required to hire off that list

  • Michigan routes $25.8 million of RHTP to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, $16.7 million to the Office of Rural Prosperity and $9.1 million to the High-Speed Internet Office

  • Rhode Island gets $5.48 million for healthcare Career and Technical Education at 14 Local Education Agencies, announced by CMS and posted nowhere in Rhode Island

  • Alaska posts Week 5 of its Year 1 Funding Announcements, 32 more projects and $25.8 million, running total $207.7 million across 217 projects

  • New York awards $76.2 million through the Rural Community Health Integration Initiative, 90 awards to 56 organizations, none of them named

  • Washington’s Rural Collaborative publishes its own Rural Health Transformation Program page, and all ten of its vendor solicitations are now closed

  • Virginia’s Provider Interoperability: Where Connection Meets Care deck puts VHCF’s two CareIQ subinitiatives at $26 million in Year 1

  • Missouri’s MEMSA award is $12,343,385 across three pillars, not the $6.5 million announced in July

HCPF retired the Potential Grantee Partnership Interest Form and put the responses up as a live sheet. Here’s the state’s framing:

Many potential grantees have indicated interest in forming partnerships or collaborations with other entities. If your organization is looking for potential partnerships, please review this spreadsheet.

This is a list of Colorado organizations looking for partners, with working email addresses, published by the agency that will pick the winners. HCPF is still carrying the separate vendor interest survey with its standing disclaimer that it “IS NOT REVIEWING THIS LIST FOR QUALITY OR RELEVANCY.” The RHTP Advisory Committee meets Monday, September 28, 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Zoom. Colorado is targeting the end of September for award announcements on its $200,105,604.17 first budget year.

New Hampshire is running a rolling Request for Qualifications: Technical Assistance Consultants for RCHIP

File this under “new to me.” The Community Development Finance Authority surfaced this RFQ on its Requests for Proposals page. The document carries no printed issue date, a priority deadline of Friday, June 26, 2026, 4:00 PM, and this line: “Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis as needed.” It is open now.

CDFA is the capital hub for GO-NORTH, running the Rural Community Health Infrastructure Program at more than $40 million a year against New Hampshire’s $204,016,550.20 Year 1 award. The RFQ builds a pre-qualified pool in three service areas — project development, grant writing, and grant administration:

All RCHIP awardees are required to retain a qualified grant administrator for the duration of project implementation. This requirement reflects the complexity of the funding structure and the associated compliance obligations.

Required, and paid for. The Application and Program Guide puts CDFA’s grant administration assistance at $50,000 to $100,000 per project depending on project size and community need, with separate assistance available for project development and grant writing through the Request for Eligibility Determination.
