Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 23 031
The Delta States Rural Development Network Program (Delta Program), offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through HRSA's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen rural health care across the Mississippi Delta region. The program funds the planning, development, and implementation of integrated rural health care networks, with the central idea that multiple organizations working together can deliver basic health services more efficiently, expand access, better coordinate care, improve quality, and ultimately improve health outcomes in communities that face persistent rural health disparities. The program is specifically focused on rural counties and parishes in the eight Mississippi Delta region states: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.
A key expectation is that applicants form or operate as a network and use collaboration as the engine of improvement. Funded networks are expected to work jointly on how care is planned, delivered, and evaluated, rather than having each organization operate in isolation. The program emphasizes practical system strengthening: improving access to local care resources, coordinating services across partners, and building programs that can last beyond the grant period. Applicants are encouraged to align their approaches with models that support value-based care and sustainable reimbursement strategies, with an emphasis on improving outcomes while controlling or reducing costs where possible.
The Delta Program is oriented toward prevention and clinical services that address chronic diseases and other health challenges that disproportionately affect rural Mississippi Delta communities. It also explicitly highlights the need to serve populations that have historically experienced worse outcomes and inequities, including racial and ethnic minorities, people experiencing homelessness, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and youth and adolescents. Because the region faces high levels of health disparity, applicants must focus their proposed project on no more than two priority areas from a defined list: diabetes; cardiovascular disease; obesity; acute ischemic stroke; chronic lower respiratory disease; cancer; or unintentional injury and substance use. These focus areas were chosen to target drivers of rural health disparities connected to leading causes of avoidable death, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory disease, and unintentional injury and substance use.
Program design must be grounded in an evidence-based or promising practice model. Applicants are required to select a model with demonstrated or emerging effectiveness and then tailor it to local needs and the network's capacity, rather than proposing an untested approach. HRSA points applicants to resources like the Rural Health Information Hub for toolkits and program models that can support areas such as obesity prevention, care coordination, and mental health and substance use disorder services. Overall, the program is looking for networks that can show how their chosen approach will expand access, improve coordination and quality, reduce chronic disease burden, and produce measurable value for rural communities in the Delta.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as HRSA-23-031 under CFDA 93.912 and uses the grant funding instrument. Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities that can participate in or lead rural health networks, including state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations (excluding institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations including small businesses, along with other eligible entity types as specified in the full announcement.
