Preventive Care & Care-at-Home Bundle (RFA 033-25/26)

Also known as Bundle One, this grant requires applicants to implement an integrated package of five distinct initiatives. The focus is on expanding care beyond traditional clinical walls through mobile health units, community paramedicine, remote patient telemonitoring, pharmacy-based retail clinics, and mandatory connectivity to the Florida Health Information Exchange (HIE).

Specialty & Acute Care Bundle (RFA 034-25/26)

Referred to as Bundle Two, this opportunity is designed to strengthen rural facilities’ capacity to deliver advanced care. It requires every applicant to implement core HIE integration and diagnostic technology support. In addition, applicants must launch at least one lead telehealth initiative, choosing from specialty care access, eICU, telestroke, or behavioral health telehealth.

Value-Based Purchasing (RFA 035-25/26)

This standalone grant for Initiative 11 funds the organizational, data, and care coordination infrastructure necessary for rural provider participation in value-based care models. The goal is to help rural providers successfully transition away from fee-for-service reimbursement and into performance-based contracts with Medicaid Managed Care Organizations.

Rural Satellite Clinics (RFA 036-25/26)

Covering Initiative 1, this standalone grant provides startup funding to establish new and expanded rural clinic locations and satellite sites. It is designed to expand access to primary and preventive care by supporting urban practices opening rural satellite extensions or existing rural facilities expanding their physical footprint and service capacity.

Workforce Development (RFA 037-25/26)

This standalone grant for Initiative 8 focuses on building a sustainable rural healthcare workforce pipeline through clinical training, recruitment, and retention. It operates on two distinct application tracks: one funding supervised clinical rotations and preceptorships for practitioners, and another supporting high school and college Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways for allied health and direct care workers.

Health & Lifestyle (RFA 038-25/26)

Addressing Initiative 9, this standalone opportunity targets community health, wellness, and chronic disease prevention. It funds clinical food insecurity screenings (using the Hunger Vital Sign tool), brief nutrition counseling, closed-loop referrals to local food assistance programs, and school-based youth fitness and nutrition interventions.

Michigan pushes list of subrecipients to date

Michigan’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) supports innovative, community-driven solutions to improve health outcomes across rural communities. A key component of this work is funding subrecipients, including local organizations, providers, and partners, who are implementing projects aligned with RHTP’s strategic priorities.

This page highlights the organizations that have received RHTP funding* and the work they are leading across the state. By showcasing these subrecipients, this page aims to promote transparency in how RHTP funds are distributed and support collaboration among partners.

Award notices as of June 4, 2026. Subrecipients are categorized by initiative and fund and listed alphabetically

Arizona posts slides from the Arizona Rural Health Conference

Summaries below.

AHCCCS: RHTP Moves from Planning to Procurement

AHCCCS used the Arizona Rural Health Conference to signal that the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) is now a core statewide strategy, backed by roughly $167 million annually through 2030. The agency highlighted major investment areas including workforce development, telehealth, care coordination, behavioral health, maternal health, chronic disease management, diagnostic equipment, and shared-services models. For vendors and providers, the most important message is that grant solicitations are beginning now, with Year 1 awards expected during Summer 2026 and all first-year funds obligated by October. Organizations that can demonstrate measurable improvements in access, workforce capacity, or rural health outcomes should be closely monitoring upcoming opportunities.

OEO: Workforce Development Becomes a $43 Million Opportunity

The Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity provided the most detailed look yet at the state’s workforce strategy, outlining a $43.1 million annual investment in rural workforce development and training. Funding will support community college expansion, university and residency growth, transition-to-practice programs, provider recruitment incentives, workforce marketing campaigns, and a statewide Rural Innovation Learning Network. OEO repeatedly emphasized that RHTP funds must support new or expanded activities rather than replace existing funding, making workforce expansion, training infrastructure, recruitment programs, and retention initiatives particularly attractive opportunities for providers, consultants, educational institutions, and workforce technology vendors.

ADHS: Priority Health Grants Focus on Maternal Health, Chronic Disease, and Workforce

The Arizona Department of Health Services offered a preview of how several Priority Health Initiative grants will be deployed under RHTP. Planned investments include maternal and fetal health programs, perinatal mental health services, congenital syphilis prevention, chronic disease screening and prevention, community health worker expansion, EMS workforce development, and rural provider support initiatives. For vendors, this presentation confirms that Arizona is looking beyond traditional healthcare delivery and investing in workforce training, public health infrastructure, care navigation, and community-based interventions. Organizations with expertise in maternal health, behavioral health, EMS training, community health workers, and preventive care programs should find meaningful opportunities as these funding streams move into procurement.
