The SPRINT-UETN Consortium awards competitive subawards that bring Utah RHTP technology funding to rural providers. The Utah Education and Telehealth Network (UETN) is the lead entity, administrative partner and fiscal agent. Two RHTP initiatives run through the consortium: SUPPORT (Initiatives 6.1-6.5: certified EHR upgrades, cybersecurity, safe clinical AI) and LINCS (Initiatives 7.1-7.2: interoperability and patient access). Four funding areas, each scored separately: (1) EHR Upgrades & Patient Data Access, up to $9.4 million, proposed awards $50,000-$750,000; (2) Cybersecurity, up to $4.5 million, $25,000-$250,000; (3) AI & Automation, up to $3.0 million, $25,000-$300,000; (4) Interoperability & Patient Access, up to $4.0 million, $25,000-$300,000. The $20.9 million total consortium allocation includes UETN administration and centrally purchased services, so it is not the amount available to applicants. Applications are due November 20, 2026, 5:00 p.m. MT on Submittable; award notices December 3, 2026; Year 1 funds must be spent by September 30, 2027.
Organizations, not individuals: rural hospitals (including Critical Access Hospitals), rural health clinics and other rural clinics, FQHCs and community health centers, independent rural providers and practices, local health departments, tribal health organizations operating those facility types, government and public entities whose project serves facilities in rural counties, non-rural providers and stakeholders serving rural counties, and technology vendors and consultants with a documented partnership with a Utah healthcare provider. Benefiting facilities must be in one of Utah's 25 rural counties (Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties are not eligible; multi-site organizations apply only for rural sites). Applicants need an active UEI and SAM.gov registration, must not be suspended, debarred or excluded from federal awards, and must meet the RFA's insurance, HIPAA and record-keeping terms. One application per organization, covering one or more funding areas; collaborative applications name a lead applicant/fiscal agent and include partner letters of commitment.
