Required next actionThe September 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET deadline has passed. Do not initiate new applicant outreach for this cycle. Preserve the regional-hub, mobility-coordination, transportation-partnership, staffing, platform-integration and performance-reporting intelligence for successor Rural Health Link funding or implementation procurements, and monitor the West Virginia Department of Health RHTP funding page and wvOASIS for any reopening, amendment or successor solicitation.
Broad Eligibility
Public or private entities with demonstrated experience operating regional or statewide healthcare-access, transportation-coordination, dispatch or care-navigation programs for rural or underserved populations may qualify, including appropriate nonprofit, governmental or quasi-governmental entities and health systems. Applicants must demonstrate scalable operations, partnerships, platform/data integration, reporting and sustainability capacity and satisfy all wvOASIS registration and AFA requirements.
Atlas Analysis
High-priority statewide rural-health access opportunity centered on regional hub operations, mobility coordination, transportation and care navigation, standardized workflows, vendor management, performance reporting, and State mobility-platform/data integration. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit is 60/100: moderate, not HIGH FIT, because this is not primarily a connected-diagnostic-device or clinical telehealth procurement. Any N9+ role would likely be subordinate to an eligible grantee and contingent on explicit cost allowability.
West Virginia Department of Health has an active Rural Health Transformation Program funding opportunity under Rural Health Link to establish or expand regional access hubs and mobility-coordinator functions that improve rural residents’ access to healthcare.
The controlling AFA is RHT-AFA-08-24-2026-RHL ERH / GFO-0506-2700000000082-1. The wvOASIS-sourced packet describes regional hub operations, transportation and care-navigation coordination, standardized dispatcher workflows and training, transportation-vendor management, escalation procedures, partnerships, performance management, and required integration with the State-approved Rural Health Link mobility platform and statewide data infrastructure.
Application deadline: September 8, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET through wvOASIS.
Funding: Up to $7.1 million is available through a shared funding pool supporting this AFA and a related solicitation. The full pool should not be treated as a guaranteed single-applicant ceiling. The indexed AFA packet reports no match requirement and caps combined direct administrative and indirect costs at 10% of the subaward amount.
Required application materials: application narrative addressing organizational capacity, impact, feasibility/implementation and sustainability; resumes of key program members; a task- and outcomes-oriented GANTT chart through September 2027; Detailed Line-Item Budget; Budget Narrative/Justification; applicable Target Funding Budgets; a Grantee Contact List; and the County-Level Service Form.
Eligibility: public or private entities with demonstrated experience operating regional or statewide programs involving healthcare access, transportation coordination, dispatch operations or care navigation for rural or underserved populations, including qualifying nonprofit, governmental or quasi-governmental entities and health systems capable of the required operations, partnerships, platform integration and reporting.
Atlas assessment: High-priority statewide rural-health access opportunity. N9+ direct-vendor fit remains moderate rather than HIGH FIT because the core procurement is regional access, mobility coordination and platform/data integration rather than a connected-diagnostic-device or clinical telehealth-device purchase. Any N9+ or QC role should be subordinate to a qualified applicant and included only where the controlling AFA and applicant-specific model support the cost and operational role.
