RFGA Modernization Funding Infrastructure Support Reproductive Health Services in RHCare Agencies

The Oregon Health Authority is issuing a competitive grant opportunity to support infrastructure modernization for certified RHCare Agencies across Oregon, addressing gaps in funding for workforce development, clinic upgrades, equipment, and outreach activities. The funding pool totals approximately $2.65 million, with individual awards averaging around $88,000, and applicants must submit their proposals electronically via SmartSheet by October 30, 2025. Eligible applicants are required to demonstrate good standing, meet insurance and nondiscrimination standards, and adhere to specific allowable expenses such as staff training, clinic renovations, equipment purchases, EHR upgrades, and outreach efforts, while excluding items like vehicles or surveillance equipment. The program emphasizes reducing health disparities and increasing access to culturally responsive reproductive health services, with reporting obligations including mid-cycle and final expenditure reports. The contractual framework incorporates multiple exhibits and attachments, including detailed budget templates for modernization and infrastructure expenditures, program descriptions, and standard terms and conditions. The agreement is a grant, not a procurement contract, governed by Oregon state law and specific administrative rules, with the Oregon Health Authority reserving rights to amend or reject applications, and to audit records for compliance. Key clauses address information security, subcontracting, conflict of interest, insurance, dispute resolution, and the right to access records. The contract stipulates that services are to be completed between July 1, 2025, and July 30, 2025, with the final expenditure report due by April 30, 2025, and no explicit packaging, labeling, or shipping requirements are specified. The application process requires completing all sections in the SmartSheet form, uploading the budget template, and ensuring timely submission, with communication directed to a designated sole point of contact.
