The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to support recipients as they develop high-quality, impartial, policy-relevant rural health services research to inform the improvement of health care in rural areas.
The objectives of research funded through this program will be:
1) to inform health care providers, administrators, policymakers, and other interested parties at the federal, state, and local levels of the challenges facing rural communities relating to health care, and
2) to inform policies designed to improve health care in rural areas. Rural Health Research Center program recipients will conduct policy-oriented health services research, which may include the updating of trend analyses and existing research and conducting of literature reviews on rural issues.
