What technology can RHTP fund for state agencies administering RHTP?
RHTP explicitly funds consumer-facing, technology-driven solutions, so state agencies administering RHTP can use it for tools like sub-recipient monitoring and compliance. The key is pairing technology with a measurable rural outcome.
The technology category
One of RHTP's named allowable-use categories is consumer-facing, technology-driven solutions for chronic-disease prevention and management. That makes digital tools a first-class use of funds, not a side expense.
What this enables for state agencies administering RHTP
Relevant technology investments include:
- designing RFAs and grant mechanisms
- sub-recipient monitoring and compliance
- statewide measurement and reporting frameworks
- stakeholder convening across rural regions
Make the outcome the headline
Technology proposals succeed when they lead with outcomes, obligation and spend-down rates and engagement, not features. Slow solicitation design delays spend-down and risks under-obligation against annual federal expectations.
Frequently asked questions
- Can RHTP pay for software and platforms?
- Yes, within the technology-driven and prevention categories, provided the spend ties to measurable care improvement.
