Funding-Limited
Submission – HRSA – Rural Health Research Dissemination – Cooperative Agreement
(HRSA-13-165); December 13, 2012
Description:
This
announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Research
Dissemination Cooperative Agreement, formerly known as the Rural
Research to Diverse Audiences Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of the
Rural Health Research Dissemination Program is to disseminate and market
policy-oriented information for use by diverse audiences such as rural
stakeholders at national, state, and community levels and policy
decision-makers to inform and raise awareness of issues regarding policy
implications, access, quality and status of health care delivery, services, and
management on behalf of rural communities. Key policy issues cover a variety of
policy-oriented topics such as, but not limited to, access to health care for
the under- and uninsured, health care quality and outcomes, home health, rural
health clinics, racial and ethnic disparities, and many others. The information
includes the body of research, as funded by ORHP, for all Rural Health Research
Centers (RHRCs) and is designed to help decision-makers and policy analysts
concerned with a variety of rural health issues at national, state, and
community levels better understand the problems rural communities face in
assuring access to health care and promoting good health for their members.
While RHRCs disseminate their own analyses, rural audiences need and benefit
from summary information on the entire body of work as funded by the Office of
Rural Health Policy (ORHP) for all RHRCs.

Approximately
$120,000 is expected to be available annually to fund one (1) awardee.
