The Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) Catalyst Awards support community-driven, ready-to-implement projects with the goal of transforming rural health systems in Oregon. Up to 80 awards are available for projects aligned with five key initiatives: regional partnerships and system transformation, healthy communities and prevention, workforce capacity and resilience, technology and data modernization, and tribal health initiatives. Eligible applicants include rural clinics, hospitals, critical access hospitals, training facilities, tribal health systems, and other qualifying rural entities serving priority populations such as maternal and child health, behavioral health, aging, and chronic disease. Funded projects must address rural needs, demonstrate innovation and sustainability, and align with RHTP's overarching system transformation goals. The program is funded via a federal cooperative agreement and managed by the Oregon Health Authority in partnership with CMS.
Eligible applicants include rural clinics, hospitals, critical access hospitals, training facilities, non-profit and tribal health systems, community organizations, and other rural-designated entities specified in the RFGP. Applicants must serve rural Oregon, meet the program’s rural designation criteria, and submit proposals for projects aligning with RHTP’s goals. Only one proposal per organization is allowed as the lead, but organizations may participate as subrecipients in other proposals. Funding thresholds: $200,000 minimum per project, $5 million maximum per proposal (up to three projects per proposal).
