Opportunity Information: Apply for RDBCP DHCS 2015
The Delta Health Care Services Grant (DHCS) Program is a competitive federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business-Cooperative Service. For fiscal year 2015, the program made $5,312,610 available in total funding under the authority of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015 (Public Law 113-235). The intent of the program is to strengthen and expand efforts that respond to ongoing, unmet health needs in the Delta Region, with an emphasis on coordinated, multi-partner approaches rather than isolated, single-organization projects.
At its core, the DHCS program is designed to support collaboration across the institutions that shape health outcomes and the systems that deliver care in the Delta Region. The program encourages partnerships among health care professionals, higher education organizations, academic health and research institutions, and economic development entities. The idea is that persistent health challenges in the Delta often require a blend of workforce development, clinical innovation, research capacity, community-based services, and regional economic planning. By funding consortia that can bring these perspectives together, the program aims to help communities build more durable health service capacity and improve access to care.
Eligibility is limited to applicants that apply as a consortium (or group) of three or more qualifying entities. Those entities must be regional institutions of higher education, academic health and research institutes, and/or economic development entities. The consortium itself must be located in the Delta Region and must be able to show at least one year of prior experience addressing health care issues specific to the region. In addition, at least one member of the consortium must be formally organized as an incorporated organization or another recognized legal entity, and that member must have the legal authority to enter into contracts with the federal government. This requirement ensures there is a legally accountable lead or partner capable of receiving and managing federal funds and complying with federal grant conditions.
This opportunity was categorized as a discretionary grant, meaning awards are made through a competitive selection process rather than by formula. The funding instrument was a grant, and the associated CFDA number was 10.874. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, with an estimated 10 awards expected, indicating the program intended to fund multiple projects across the region while still supporting relatively substantial, multi-organization initiatives. The funding opportunity number was RDBCP DHCS 2015, and the application closing date for this cycle was December 2, 2015. The listing was created on September 8, 2015.
In practical terms, a strong DHCS application for this cycle would have come from a Delta-based consortium with an existing track record of health-related work in the region and a clear plan for how partner institutions would coordinate to reduce gaps in health services. Because the program highlights cooperation among clinical, academic, research, and economic development stakeholders, projects that integrated these roles into a coherent regional strategy would have aligned closely with the program's purpose.Apply for RDBCP DHCS 2015
