It’s August 2026 and some state are already pushing out opps for Year 2 of RHTP. If you want to get ahead of the action, peep our RHTP Verified Intelligence service.

Vermont closes out Year 1 with no dates set for Year 2
Missouri adds a ToRCH Care alignment test to IFB #DSS26015
Oklahoma opens ROOTS Year 2, $10,000 per site for 60 rural schools

All Year 1 RFP and NOFO opportunities have closed. When open, Year 2 opportunities will be posted here. The exact dates for those postings are to be determined. Please sign up for our Listserv/Newsletter here to get updates about future opportunities.
Missouri adds a ToRCH Care alignment test to IFB #DSS26015, the nearly $40 million Smart Growth and Service Line Modification solicitation
One clause changed on the state’s rural health page yesterday. It used to read “Project should align with one of the following priority service lines.” It now reads:
Project should align with ToRCH Care priorities and one of the following priority service lines:
The three service lines are unchanged — maternal health, behavioral health, and diagnostics and outpatient care. What is new is that a project now has to clear two tests instead of one, and the ToRCH Care priorities are set by the 27 Community Hub Areas and their Hub Anchors, not by the applicant.
Everything else holds: nearly $40 million spanning Program Years 1 and 2, individual awards up to $5 million, final funding amount pending CMS budget approval. The bid close date is still not printed on the DSS page, which is where it was when we flagged it on July 30. It lives on the DSS26015 listing on MissouriBUYS.
