Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 21 142
The Rural Health Clinic Vaccine Confidence (RHCVC) Program is a grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), designed to strengthen vaccine confidence and reduce vaccine hesitancy in rural areas. The central aim is to help rural communities, especially those that are medically underserved and/or reporting low COVID-19 vaccination rates, get clearer information about vaccines and better support in accessing vaccinations. The program is built around the idea that Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) are often among the most trusted health care touchpoints in rural communities, so equipping them with resources can make public health messaging more credible, consistent, and locally relevant.
Funding through this program is intended to let RHCs carry out a broad range of practical, community-facing activities that improve vaccination understanding and uptake while reinforcing basic prevention and treatment messages related to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Supported efforts can include vaccine promotion and education campaigns, distributing accurate information to residents about how and where to get vaccinated, and improving health literacy so individuals and communities better understand the benefits of vaccination and the safety of vaccines. The program also emphasizes coordination, encouraging RHCs to work with existing vaccination sites and public health partners to identify and reach people who are isolated, hard to reach, or hesitant about vaccines. In effect, the grant supports both the communication side (countering misinformation and building confidence) and the access side (helping people navigate where and how to receive vaccinations).
At a community level, the program is meant to help rural residents make more informed decisions about their health and about COVID-19, including steps they can take to protect themselves and others. By combining trusted messengers, fact-based outreach, and on-the-ground coordination with local partners, the RHCVC Program seeks to increase vaccine uptake and, over time, strengthen prevention-oriented health practices in rural settings. While COVID-19 is a major focus, the language of the opportunity also points to broader infectious disease prevention and public health readiness as part of the longer-term value for rural health care systems.
