Delaware has a $157.4 million first-year Rural Health Transformation Program award with 15 initiatives, including a $5 million competitive vendor initiative for telehealth and remote patient monitoring, $5.48 million for Health Hubs, $1.835 million for rural-library telehealth support, and other technology and care-transformation investments. No downstream telehealth/RPM vendor deadline is currently published, so Atlas is tracking this as Upcoming / Funding Watch.
Required next actionMonitor Delaware DHSS, DPH and MyMarketplace for the telehealth/RPM vendor solicitation and other RHTP downstream notices.

Massachusetts received $162,005,238.13 for the first year of the federal Rural Health Transformation Program. EOHHS says procurements began in summer 2026 and year-one funds subject to procurement are expected to be contracted in fall 2026, so Atlas is tracking the next verified solicitation rather than treating the state award itself as an open grant.
Required next actionJoin the Massachusetts RHTP contact list and monitor EOHHS and COMMBUYS for the next procurement or subaward notice. Pre-position a concise rural project concept tied to one or more state priorities: essential healthcare access, workforce, healthy rural communities, EMS service integration, technology interoperability/connectivity, or facility modernization.
