This notice solicits applications for the Rural Health Clinic Policy and Clinical Assessment Program. The purpose of this program is to identify key policy, regulatory and clinical challenges facing Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and identify possible solutions, while also informing them and other rural stakeholders about key RHC issues, including regulatory and programmatic changes that affect care delivery in these locations. The awardee will: 1) Identify gaps in knowledge among RHCs about issues such as regulatory and program compliance, billing and reimbursement, quality improvement, best practices, disease management, and care coordination; 2) Identify gaps in knowledge about clinical priorities including opioid abuse, mental health and child obesity; and 3) Propose tools, resources, and strategies to address them.
