Rural health funding, sorted by the problem you are trying to solve.
The Rural Health Transformation Program does not fund categories, it funds what a state wrote into its plan. Each map below reads every state's sub-initiatives, keeps the ones that fund a given capability, and shows you the office that controls each pool and where its funding opportunity sits in its lifecycle.
- Rural health workforce Residency slots, recruitment and retention, training pipelines, and the loan-repayment programs states run alongside them. 13 pools 3 states Open the map
- Rural telehealth Virtual care, remote consults, and the hub-and-spoke models that keep a service line open when the specialist is three hours away. 6 pools 3 states Open the map
- Behavioral health and opioid response Mental health access, substance-use disorder treatment, crisis response, and the integration work that puts them inside primary care. 9 pools 3 states Open the map
- Maternal health and remote monitoring Obstetric access in counties that lost it, plus the remote patient monitoring that extends a shrinking clinical footprint. 16 pools 3 states Open the map
- Data, interoperability, and IT Health information exchange, EHR modernization, cybersecurity, and the analytics that have to prove an outcome later. 7 pools 3 states Open the map
- Prevention and chronic disease Diabetes and cardiovascular programs, screening, food as medicine, and community health worker models. 9 pools 3 states Open the map
- Value-based care Alternative payment models, shared savings, and the outcomes contracting that has to survive the FY2030 spending window. 5 pools 2 states Open the map
A pool appears on more than one map when a state wrote it to do more than one thing. The totals above count each pool once.
Capability maps read sub-initiative detail, which publishes when a state's budget clears CMS review. 3 of 50 states have cleared it; the other 47 have a verified award and named initiatives, but no pool-level detail yet. Their state pages are live and each map grows as they clear.
Provable, not just stated
Every number we publish, you can click.
Try it. This is a real Oklahoma figure, bound to the state's own document at the exact page, sealed and re-verifiable, and carrying the status we last verified. Every figure in your report works the same way.
These maps show the pools. Your Atlas shows your route.
A capability map tells you where the money for a problem sits across fifty states. An Atlas is written for one organization: the lanes you qualify for, the office that controls each one, the date it opens, and the framing that wins it, with a government source behind every figure.
Questions people actually ask
- Why do some states show no dollar amounts?
- A state's award and named initiatives are verified as soon as CMS publishes them, but pool-level dollar allocations publish only once that state's budget clears CMS review. Rather than estimate the missing figures, those pages say so and fill in when the state's budget clears.
- What is a capability map?
- A capability map reads every state's sub-initiatives, keeps the ones that fund a given capability such as workforce or telehealth, and shows the office controlling each pool with where its funding opportunity sits in its lifecycle. It answers where the money for one problem sits across fifty states.
- Can I just apply for this money directly?
- Almost never. CMS awards only to states, and states then distribute through subgrants, procurements, provider payments, and partnerships. Which of those routes applies to you depends on what kind of organization you are.
