| Purpose |
The primary objective of the Telehealth Network Grant Program (TNGP) is to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can improve access to quality health care services in underserved rural and urban communities. TNGP networks are used to: (a) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of health care services; (b) improve and expand the training of health care providers; and/or (c) expand and improve the quality of health information available to health care providers, patients, and their families.
Applicants can apply for the TNGP in one of two areas: 1) Telehealth Networks – grants for the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health, and health administration. 2) Telehomecare Networks – grants to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of remote vital sign monitoring of individual patients and the delivery of healthcare services to individuals in their place of residence by a healthcare provider using telecommunications technologies to exchange healthcare information over a distance. A “place of residence” is broadly defined to include assisted living facilities and other congregate arrangements where people live. |
| Eligibility |
The applicant can be either a rural or urban nonprofit entity that will provide services through a telehealth network (TNGP-TH) or a telehomecare network (TNGP-THC). For purposes of this guidance, a public entity is considered as a non-profit entity. Proof of non-profit status must be included with the application. Each entity participating in the networks may be a nonprofit or for-profit entity. Faith-based and community based organizations are eligible to apply. Tribes and tribal organizations are eligible to apply for these grants. |
