The USDA RUS-DLT Grant gives funding to organizations that provide telemedicine and distance learning services to meet the needs of rural and underserved populations. Grant amounts range from $50K to $1M, with $62M+ in total funding available. The generous total amount makes this a particularly good year to apply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>The grant\u2019s scoring is based on <strong>objective<\/strong> demographic criteria, such as rurality and economic need, and <strong>subjective <\/strong>criteria in which applicants describe the challenges faced by the population they serve and the ways grant funding could address those challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>Applicants should pay particular attention to the design of their project, who their partners are, the extent of their rurality, and their poverty statistics. Grant funds are disbursed over a period of three years. Proposed expenditures in the application must align with the grant\u2019s eligibility criteria and be fully dedicated towards technology for distance learning and\/or telemedicine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-heading\" data-cls=\"core-heading\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing your project&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>Different options exist for your USDA RUS-DLT Grant project\u2019s design. The <strong>hub and spoke model<\/strong> is the most common, in which a hospital or medical center connects to several rural health clinics to offer more comprehensive services to members without the need for travel. The hub\u2019s location is not factored into demographic scoring, which is helpful for hubs located in urban areas that deliver services to rural areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>Another option is the <strong>hub\/end user to hub\/end user model<\/strong>, in which hubs serve as points of service delivery, such as a rural hospital that connects to a rural mental health clinic to expand services offered. In this model, the hub\u2019s demographic scoring is a factor, so hubs must be located in a rural area to receive a competitive score.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>Other models include <strong>non-fixed models<\/strong>, such as a hub that provides visiting nurse services, and <strong>hybrid models,<\/strong> that combine elements of fixed and non-fixed models, such as a community center that connects to a fixed-site hospital and rural clinics.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>Many types of state and local organizations can leverage technology grants to provide health and distance learning services. A wide range of projects are eligible for the grant, including <em>school to health centers<\/em> for school-based telehealth, <em>medical center to health clinics<\/em> for primary and specialty care delivery, and many others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>In terms of scoring, rurality accounts for up to 40 points, with exceptionally rural areas receiving the most points. Economic need, calculated based on poverty level (SAIPE percentage), accounts for up to 30 points of the total score. Special considerations can provide up to 10 additional points for projects that serve vulnerable groups such as Native American populations living on tribal lands, farm workers, distressed energy communities, or projects that support mental health services.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-heading\" data-cls=\"core-heading\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making the Most of Grant Funding<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>Joe Brennan explained that access to healthcare has long been a major hurdle for rural communities. While telehealth enables patients to receive quality care remotely, not all solutions are created equally. Traditional telehealth carts are very expensive, providing very little bang for your grant money buck. Audio-visual-only options cannot adequately examine patients, making them incapable of properly addressing the healthcare challenges that grants seek to resolve. When applying for the USDA RUS-DLT Grant, it\u2019s important to choose technology that will truly help you expand your ability to best provide telemedicine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tytocare.com\/unlocking-innovation-with-telehealth-grants-and-funding\/\">TytoCare maximizes grant funding<\/a> by providing comprehensive, affordable telemedicine to rural and underserved locations. TytoCare enhances the abilities of hubs through real remote physical exams, including heart and lung sounds and exams of the heart, ears, skin, abdomen, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>For example, Kentucky\u2019s Pikeville Medical Center partnered with TytoCare and won a USDA RUS-DLT Grant. They used their funding to facilitate students\u2019 safe return to in-person learning after the height of the COVID pandemic. PMC utilized TytoCare in 23 school-based care locations, making it easier for schools to curb infection and treat sick students, faculty, and staff.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>The advantages of TytoCare include:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>\u2022 Expanded access to quality care, with 59% more conditions able to be diagnosed remotely.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>\u2022 Reduced absenteeism in school-based telehealth, with 89% of students surveyed able to return to class instead of being sent home when feeling unwell.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-\" data-cls=\"\">\n\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-the-block w-100 section-core-paragraph\" data-cls=\"core-paragraph\">\n<p>\u2022 Widened reach within the same budget.
