the Southside Regional Collaborative service area. Eligible approaches include mobile care units, telehealth kiosks, clinics in a box, electronic consultations, rural care center hubs, and hub-and-spoke technology enablers; services may include primary, behavioral health/SUD, dental, vision, preventive, diagnostic, and specialty care. Approximately $11.8M available; at least five awards expected; no established maximum award per application. Lead applicants must demonstrate organizational, administrative, financial, and cash-flow capacity to manage a federal reimbursement-based award in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 and applicable RHTP requirements. Partnerships with local providers, technology organizations, and other entities are strongly encouraged. This initiative is federally funded by CMS/HHS under Cooperative Agreement RHTCMS332088, and proposals must be implementable within the performance period while laying foundations for future enhancements.
Vendors can apply directly. The West Piedmont (Southside Regional Collaborative) FAQ answers yes to: a Virginia for-profit mobile-health technology company as the direct applicant; a healthcare distributor as primary applicant with the manufacturer and a licensed provider as partners; an applicant headquartered outside the region; and a technology/infrastructure project with clinical care delivered by licensed partners. Who can apply: any legally organized entity in good standing that can receive and administer a federal subaward — nonprofits, governmental entities, health systems, FQHCs, Rural Health Clinics, educational institutions, healthcare providers, community-based organizations, mobile health technology organizations, and other entities capable of carrying out the RFA. Vendor criteria: 1. Partner not mandatory: applicants may apply alone or in partnership, and no partnership structure is required (RFA 1.4, 2.3). 2. Licensed clinical partner mandatory only if the project delivers clinical services the applicant is not licensed to provide; then a formal partnership with an appropriately licensed and credentialed provider is required (RFA 1.4). Name the partner, its role and the agreement status. Competitive applications have these partnerships in place at submission; a letter of commitment, MOU or existing agreement is enough (per the FAQ), and partner capacity is scored under Implementation Feasibility & Organizational Capacity (20 points). 3. Service area: the applicant need not be located in the region if the project directly serves or targets eligible (FORHP-rural) residents of Franklin, Henry, Patrick, Pittsylvania, Mecklenburg, Halifax, Brunswick, Amelia, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, Prince Edward, Charles City, Greensville, Surry, Sussex, Appomattox and New Kent counties and the cities of Danville, Martinsville and Emporia. 4. Capacity: organizational, financial and cash-flow capacity to manage a reimbursement-based federal subaward under 2 CFR 200; no active exclusions, debarments or suspensions; ability to report program, financial and performance data. 5. UEI: not needed to apply, required if awarded; only the lead applicant needs one — partners and contractors do not need SAM.gov registration (per the FAQ). 6. Profit is not an allowable cost, including for a for-profit recipient (RFA unallowable costs). 7. Separate applications to several Virginia PDC Mobile & Hybrid Care RFAs are allowed when each serves a distinct rural population with non-duplicative costs (per the FAQ).
