Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 036
The Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to strengthen telehealth networks that support emergency care in rural communities. The core focus of this funding is tele-emergency services, particularly in high-impact areas where rural facilities often lack on-site specialty coverage: tele-stroke, tele-behavioral health, and Tele-Emergency Medical Services (Tele-EMS). The overall intent is to help rural hospitals and clinics improve timely access to specialist consultation and raise the quality and coordination of emergency care when local resources are limited.
A central feature of the program is expanding 24-hour Emergency Department (ED) consultation capability through telehealth for rural providers that do not have emergency care specialists available. In practice, this means building or enhancing a network model that connects a centralized emergency care resource (often referred to as a tele-emergency hub) with one or more distant rural emergency departments (remote EDs). Tele-emergency, as described in the opportunity, is an electronic, two-way audio/visual communication service that allows real-time emergency consultation between the hub and the remote ED. The consultation can cover the full range of urgent ED needs, including evaluating patients as they arrive, interpreting symptoms and diagnostic tests or clinical data, supervising treatment decisions (including medications), and coordinating transfers to higher levels of care when appropriate.
Beyond direct clinical service delivery, the program also emphasizes broader system improvement goals. These include expanding access to care, improving coordination across providers and facilities, and raising the overall quality of health services delivered in rural settings. The funding is also meant to support provider development by improving and expanding training for health care professionals involved in tele-emergency care. In addition, the program highlights the importance of strengthening health information available to clinicians as well as to patients and families, so that decisions during emergencies are better informed and more consistent across the network.
A major requirement built into this funding opportunity is a strong evaluation and data component. TNGP recipients are expected to support tele-emergency service programs at a scale that generates a meaningful volume of patient encounters, enabling analysis of how well these services work in real-world rural emergency settings. Awardees are expected to analyze tele-emergency services using common metrics and protocols so that results can be compared across multiple sites. This is meant to produce multi-site evidence about effectiveness, not just isolated success stories from a single system. Each recipient participates both in an overarching evaluation coordinated by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and in their own local analysis and evaluation activities.
Key administrative details from the source listing include the Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-20-036 and the CFDA number 93.211.
