Rural Health Research Dissemination Cooperative Agreement
This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Research Dissemination Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this program is to disseminate and market rural health services research funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) to diverse audiences, such as decision makers and rural stakeholders at national, state, and community levels, with the goal of informing and raising awareness of key policy issues important to rural communities. FORHP primarily funds health services research through our Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) cooperative agreement. The successful applicant for this program will develop and maintain a website which includes the entire body of research funded by FORHP and allows that research to be easily and freely accessible to the public. The successful applicant will also develop and maintain strategies to effectively disseminate this research through a variety of mechanisms including (but not limited to) a listserv, social media accounts, presentations and exhibits at national conferences, and webinars.
