Grants for Special District Governments

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has collaborated with Qualified Youth and Conservation Corps, as authorized by the Public Lands Corps Act (PLC), to accomplish conservation projects for numerous years. This program’s projects provide employment for participants and opportunities to learn about and gain work experience in public lands and natural resources management while promoting long-term interest in public lands stewardship and the BLM. The BLM Youth Program assists the BLM with diversifying the workforce while exposing participants to complex cultural and natural resource issues. This program supports the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Public Law 117-58, Sec. 40804(b) Ecosystem Restoration and Section 40803 Wildfire Risk Reduction. This program supports projects funded through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Sections 50221 Resilience, 50222 Ecosystems Restoration and 50303 DOI. The BLM Youth Program partners with qualified youth and conservation corps to engage individuals between the ages of 16 and 30 (inclusive) and veterans up to age 35 (inclusive) including tribal members. Recruitment efforts should focus on young, diverse people from local communities to assist with conservation projects that protect and promote multiple-use on public lands.

The Black Lung Clinic Programs primary goal is to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with occupation related coal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD), also known as black lung disease, by providing: Medical services. Outreach services. Educational services. Benefits counseling services. All recipients are required to provide certain services to coal miners in their service area. We also provide additional requirements to the minimum required services, to make sure that the quality and breadth of services coal miners receive is sustained in all service areas.

This funding opportunity provides financial support to small rural hospitals and health clinics to help them improve their healthcare services and transition to a value-based care system for better patient outcomes.

The purpose of the Black Lung Data and Resource Center (BLDRC) program is to improve health care in rural areas by supporting patient-level data collection and analysis, clinic operations, and the quality and breadth of services provided by recipients of Black Lung Clinics Program (BLCP) funding. For the purposes of this Notice of Funding Opportunity, BLCP award recipients are referred to as BLCP recipients. Additional details about the program requirements and expectations for BLCP recipients can be found in HRSA-25-040. Our goal is to strengthen BLCP recipients ability to examine and treat respiratory diseases and pulmonary impairments in active and inactive U.S. coal miners. To that end, the BLDRC provides programmatic assistance and resources to help BLCP recipients use data analysis to better understand the health status and needs of U.S. coal miners. BLDRC support and data analysis contributes to advancing evidence-based models of health care for rural health care providers, including BLCP recipients and other health care providers serving rural populations. The BLDRC will work with BLCP recipients and stakeholders to address long-standing challenges and barriers to medical, outreach, educational, and benefits counseling services for U.S. coal miners. The BLDRC will also help collect and analyze information on the demographics and clinical status of coal miners with Coal Mine Dust Lung Diseases (CMDLD), or black lung diseases, especially Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis (CWP) and its most severe form, Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF). The BLDRC supports BLCP recipients, including rural health providers, in discerning effective methods to address challenges, analyzing best practices, and informing lessons learned that translate across rural and non-rural health care settings. These methods also expand and further enhance support for health care delivery in rural areas.

This funding opportunity provides financial support and technical assistance to organizations working to establish and sustain residency programs in rural areas, helping to increase the number of physicians in underserved communities.

The purpose of the Delta Health Systems Implementation Program (DSIP) is to improve healthcare delivery in rural areas by implementing projects that will improve the financial sustainability of hospitals and allow for increased access to care in rural communities. These projects focus on financial and operational improvement, quality improvement, telehealth, and workforce development in hospitals located in the rural counties and parishes of the Delta region.

This funding opportunity allows various organizations, including universities, non-profits, and government entities, to request the transfer of specific NIH grants to a new recipient organization due to changes like mergers or programmatic shifts.

The Rural Health Network Development Planning Program supports the planning and development of rural integrated health care networks with specific focus on collaboration of entities to establish or improve local capacity and care coordination in underserved communities. Specifically, the program uses the concept of developing networks as a strategy for linking rural health care network participants together to achieve greater collective capacity to overcome local challenges, expand access and improve the quality of care in the rural communities these organizations serve. The program helps network participants work together on three legislative aims: Achieve efficiencies. Expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of basic health care services and associated health outcomes. Strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. The intent is that rural health networks will do the following: Expand access to care. Increase the use of health information technology. Explore alternative health care delivery models. Continue to achieve quality health care across the continuum of care.

This funding opportunity provides resources to rural health networks to improve access, coordination, and quality of essential health services for underserved populations in rural communities.
