FY26 Rural Maryland Prosperity Investment Fund (RMPIF) Grants - Rural Health

The Rural Maryland Prosperity Investment Fund (RMPIF) aims to enhance the standard of living in Maryland's rural areas by promoting health care access and improving health services. The fund focuses on supporting health care projects that improve access to medical, dental, and behavioral health care through innovative solutions like telemedicine, program coordination, and rural nonemergency medical transportation. The program also emphasizes recruiting and retaining health care professionals in rural areas and managing chronic diseases. For Fiscal Year 2025, RMPIF has allocated $1,500,000 specifically for health care projects, with the grant process beginning on April 15, 2024. Applications will be evaluated based on their potential to impact rural health significantly, with up to ten to fifteen projects expected to receive funding.
