Opportunity Information: Apply for RDBCP DHCS 2021
The Delta Health Care Services Grant (DHCS) is a competitive grant program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through its Rural Business-Cooperative Service. For this funding round, USDA made $3,000,000 available to support projects that respond to persistent, unmet health needs in the Delta Region. The program is rooted in federal law under Section 379G of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 2008u) and was updated by the Agricultural Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-334), which continues the federal emphasis on improving health outcomes and access to services in Delta communities.
At a practical level, the grant is designed to strengthen health services in the Delta by encouraging coordinated, cross-sector work. USDA specifically highlights cooperation among health care professionals, institutions of higher education, research institutions, and economic development entities located in the Delta Region. That framing signals that the program is not only about direct clinical care, but also about building partnerships that can expand capacity, improve service delivery, support workforce development, and connect health goals with broader community and economic development strategies. The funding activity category for the program is Health, and the opportunity is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 10.874.
The opportunity is discretionary and uses the standard grant funding instrument. The funding opportunity number is RDBCP DHCS 2021, and the posting indicates an anticipated 10 awards. Individual awards can be as large as $1,000,000 (the award ceiling), meaning awards may vary in size depending on the scope and strength of the proposed projects, but they cannot exceed that maximum. Because the total funding amount is $3,000,000 and the expected number of awards is 10, applicants should assume awards could be relatively modest on average unless fewer awards are made or funding is concentrated in larger projects.
Eligibility is indicated broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants consult the opportunity’s additional eligibility details for the exact definitions and requirements. However, the program description makes clear that competitive proposals are expected to involve collaboration among key regional stakeholders such as health care providers, colleges and universities, research organizations, and economic development groups within the Delta Region. In other words, successful applications will likely be those that can demonstrate meaningful regional partnerships and a clear plan to address identified health gaps in Delta communities.
The application timeline for this round shows the opportunity was created on May 20, 2021, with an original closing date of July 19, 2021. Applications had to be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 19, 2021, and late submissions were not accepted. This deadline language also implies the program uses a strict cut-off and expects applicants to plan ahead for electronic submission, including any required registrations and document uploads that can cause last-minute delays.
Overall, the DHCS program is aimed at improving health conditions in the Delta Region by funding projects that bring multiple institutions to the table, align health care delivery with research and education resources, and integrate health improvement efforts into broader regional development work. The competitive structure, the relatively high per-award cap, and the emphasis on cooperation suggest the program is intended to support well-organized, partnership-driven initiatives that can show measurable benefits for Delta residents.Apply for RDBCP DHCS 2021
