Application Portal
Welcome to the Center for Optimizing Rural Health (CORH) Application Portal! We are excited that you are interested in applying for assistance for Year 4 of the HRSA Vulnerable Rural Hospital Assistance Program (VRHAP).
Year 4 application portal will open on June 1st, 2021 and close on July 30th, 2021.
Here is some information for your consideration:
- The CORH is a technical advisory center. As such, we offer guidance, resources, and recommendations, but we do not have funding sources available for hospitals.
- The work between CORH and the hospitals is a partnership. In collaboration with the CORH team, hospitals will take an active role in identifying priorities and implementing action plans. The CORH team also requests that hospitals participate in the facilitated peer-to-peer mentoring (ECHO) sessions and webinars as often as schedules permit.
- On-site technical assistance will be provided for the five Tier 1 hospitals selected, in addition to follow-up discussions every 4-6 weeks. Remote facilitation will be provided for the 25 Tier 2 hospitals selected, along with follow-up discussions every 4-6 weeks.
