The purpose of the Telehealth Resource Center Program is to support the establishment and development of Telehealth Resource Centers that will provide technical assistance to healthcare organizations, healthcare networks, and healthcare providers in the implementation of cost-effective telehealth programs to serve rural, frontier, and medically underserved areas and populations.

Eligible applicants include institutions of higher learning, state and local government, independent school districts, public and private nonprofit entities, including faith-based and community organizations, as well as federally-recognized tribal governments and organizations.

Estimated award amount: $325,000 per year
