Targeted Technical Assistance for Rural Hospitals Program (TTAP), Apply by September 30
The Targeted Technical Assistance for Rural Hospitals Program (TTAP) is not a grant program for hospitals. Instead, participating hospitals receive technical assistance at no cost.
All applicants are eligible to participate in webinars and training events focused on best practices for financial and operational improvement held through the grant period.
TTAP is a federally funded initiative that offers comprehensive technical assistance to rural hospitals to address:
- financial and operational challenges and
- maintain essential health services for their communities.
During their tenure in the program, hospitals receive comprehensive technical assistance in:
- financial and operational assessment,
- financial sustainability planning,
- strategy implementation,
- monitoring, and
- evaluation.
The ideal applicant organization is a rural hospital or critical access hospital that demonstrates a need and readiness for targeted technical assistance aimed at supporting financial and operational stability.
Participating hospitals must be committed to meaningfully engaging in all aspects of the program. While all eligible rural hospitals and critical access hospitals are encouraged to apply, this program is designed to best support organizations that are:
- Not currently or have not previously received similar technical assistance; and
- Do not have readily available access to resources to support financial and operational viability.
Online applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. However, an annual application deadline is announced for each new project year. The deadline for the 2025–2026 project year is Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 11:59 pm. Once the application deadline has passed, organizations may begin applying for participation in the next project year. Applicants who are not selected may be considered for future cohorts.
