the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). Over five years, MDHHS will implement strategies aimed at improving health care delivery, workforce capacity, partnerships, digital interoperability, and care access in rural Michigan. A formal Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) is forthcoming. Program requirements, allocation guidance, and eligible subrecipient types will be published on the RHTP website once the formal GFO is released. Funding emphasizes collaboration among public health entities, provider networks, rural clinics, behavioral health services, and community organizations, with allocation priorities targeted to high-need rural and partially rural counties.
Eligibility
Eligibility will be defined in the forthcoming GFO published by MDHHS. Preliminary program narrative and budget documents specify subrecipient focus areas: public health entities, provider networks, community organizations, rural clinics, rural hospitals, Area Health Education Centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and agencies serving rural populations. Final eligibility criteria, including eligible counties and prioritization approach, will be established upon publication of the official GFO. For now, applicants must meet rural definitions per Federal Office of Rural Health Policy and may be prioritized based on rural population and local health needs.
