Rural Health Value Program

The Rural Health Value Program is designed to support a single recipient in delivering analysis and technical assistance to rural health stakeholders, enabling them to navigate and effectively participate in value-based care models. This initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of rural providers to adapt to evolving payment and delivery systems that prioritize quality and cost-efficiency in healthcare. The program focuses on equipping these providers with the tools, knowledge, and guidance necessary to succeed in a rapidly shifting healthcare environment that emphasizes value over volume. The funding opportunity is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with a NAICS code of 541690 indicating it is related to other scientific and technical consulting services. It was posted on August 7, 2026, as a forecast and remains open for potential applicants. Interested parties may direct inquiries to Lawrencia Afagbedzi at lafagbedzi@hrsa.gov or by phone at 301-443-3196. The program does not specify a set-aside type or geographic restrictions for performance, but its objectives are universally focused on enhancing rural health infrastructure across the United States.
