Telehealth Rapid Response Center: This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding for the Telehealth Rapid Response Center (HRSA-25-044) and the Telehealth Research Center (HRSA-25-045). The purpose of this program is to fund research that expands the evidence base to inform policy and programs for telehealth services in underserved populations in the United States. The research supported through this program will inform providers, policymakers, and telehealth stakeholders on the latest trends and data impacting telehealth disparities and access, telehealth providers, flexibilities for telehealth care, and continued services for telehealth utilization in various specialties and via different modalities. We will award one cooperative agreement for each of the following opportunities: • The Telehealth Rapid Response Center funded under HRSA-25-044 is responsible for conducting rapid data analyses and short-term issue-specific telehealth research studies. It will provide stakeholders and the public with resources to understand the impact of telehealth policies and regulations as well as provide information that will improve telehealth access to underserved populations in the United States. • The Telehealth Research Center funded under HRSA-25-045 is responsible for conducting clinically informed and evidence-based research. The Telehealth Research Center plays a key role in helping to expand the evidence base for telehealth services and address gaps in knowledge for effectiveness, costs, and delivery, including the use of telehealth technology. This center will also conduct and maintain a comprehensive evaluation of nationwide telehealth investments in rural and underserved areas and populations. This research will help health providers and decision-makers at the local, state and federal levels by examining the impact of telehealth services in rural and underserved communities on access to health care, population health/health indicator, health care spending (both for payers and for the patients receiving the services), quality of care, value-based care, and clinical delivery of care.
