About Virginia Rural Health Transformation Program
Virginia’s RHTP was established under Section 71401 of Public Law 119-21 and is administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. CMS awarded the Commonwealth a cooperative agreement designating the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) as the primary recipient. VDH is a subrecipient of DMAS and administers the Community Paramedicine and Innovative Maternal Care sub-initiatives.
The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has opened two Requests for Applications (RFAs) under Virginia’s Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP): Community Paramedicine and Innovative Maternal Care.
These funding opportunities will support innovative, community-driven approaches to expand access to care, strengthen local and regional health systems, and improve health outcomes for rural Virginians.
Innovative Maternal Care
VDH is seeking innovative, community-driven projects that improve access to prenatal, postpartum, and other maternal healthcare services in rural Virginia. Projects may include maternal health access hubs, innovative prenatal and postpartum care models, mobile or technology-enabled care, behavioral health and substance use supports, transportation and access solutions, community health workers and doulas, care coordination, workforce development, and regional partnerships that strengthen rural maternal health systems.
Invitation to Applicants
Collaboration is welcomed and can help strengthen care delivery models and innovation in rural health. Whether you represent EMS agencies, healthcare providers, community nonprofits, public health departments, or multiregional organizations, we invite you to consider applying.

INDIRECT COST RECOVERY IS NOT ALLOWED.
Institutional matching funds are encouraged.
Emergency Shelter Upgrade Assistance Grant Fund
The Virginia Emergency Shelter Upgrade Assistance Fund, was a result of Senate Bill 350, introduced by Senator Lucas, and went into effect on July 1, 2020.
Funding Intent
Moneys in the fund shall be used solely for the purposes of providing matching funds to localities to install, maintain, or repair permanent infrastructure related to standby backup energy generation for emergency shelters, including solar energy generators, and to improve the hazard-specific structural integrity (wind retrofit) of shelter facilities owned by the locality.
Funding Priorities
Funding Limits
For FY27, there is $2,500,000 appropriated by the General Assembly to this fund.
Local governments are limited to one shelter upgrade application per year. However, the one application may include more than one site.
Limit of $450,000 (state share) for any single grant award.
Shelter Upgrade Fund may match any existing FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants to upgrade shelters.
Local governments can only receive and implement one shelter upgrade grant at a time. Construction on any previous awards must be complete at the time of application. If a current Shelter Upgrade Grant project is in progress, the local government may still apply and receive the award after the conclusion of the current project.

Fund for Excellence and Innovation
The Fund for Excellence and Innovation (FFEI) was established during the 2016 legislative session to focus on two primary activities: stimulate collaborations among public school divisions, community colleges and universities and to expand affordable student pathways; and pursue shared services and other efficiency initiatives at colleges and universities that lead to measurable cost reductions.
between secondary and post-secondary education (and/or within post-secondary education) in AI-related student outreach, academic integration, labor-market alignment and/or shared services for institutions of higher education and/or K-12 institutions; assess the impact of the supported activities; and share the results. Some activities may include leveraging AI to retool current programs to attract nontraditional learners, broaden credentialing options (including stackable micro-credentials), or scaling existing projects for broader impact. The goal will be furthering the readiness of current and future students for work and life involving artificial intelligence.
within Virginia postsecondary education (and/or between Virginia secondary and postsecondary education) to support the integration of AI in instructional and student support. This integration may include professional development to bridge gaps in expertise among faculty, student support services that provide AI training or AI tools and resources, stackable micro-credentials/micro-badging opportunities, efforts to shorten time to degree/credential, supports for nontraditional learners (e.g., retooling programs for shorter semesters to support adult learners), efforts to reduce transfer curricular complexity (i.e., identifying the most efficient course sequence along the two- and four-year curricular pathway), analysis of credit for prior learning and alignment to transfer pathways (e.g., Military experience, AP, CLEP), or other similar projects and initiatives.
The scholarships and fellowships provide recipients with the opportunity to attend and explore the operation of the field at the NRPA Annual Conference. A primary focus is to inspire future participation and leadership in NRPA and to develop professional contacts with leadership and members from around the nation.

A primary focus of the program is to inspire future participation and leadership in NRPA and to develop professional contacts.
About The Glaucoma Foundation
The Glaucoma Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people with glaucoma. The Foundation works to encourage and support basic and applied research in glaucoma with a goal of preserving and restoring vision. We strive to be an important resource to help patients, their families, and at-risk individuals to manage their glaucoma through education and outreach.
About Research to Prevent Blindness
The mission of Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) is to preserve and restore vision by supporting research to develop treatments, preventives and cures for all conditions that damage and destroy sight. Since it was founded 60 years ago, in 1960, RPB has channeled more than $383 million into eye research. As a result, RPB has been identified with nearly every major breakthrough in vision research in that time.
The Glaucoma Foundation (TGF) and Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) partner annually to provide a grant aimed at supporting women and under-represented racial and ethnic minority researchers in the pursuit of glaucoma research.
The TGF (sponsored by Patricia Hill) / RPB Fellowships in Glaucoma provide one-year $10,000 fellowships focused on substantive glaucoma research, including investigation into the etiology, diagnosis and/or treatment of glaucoma, to current ophthalmology fellows with an MD, MD/PhD, PhD or other relevant degree.

Tom Cade was an icon and hero to us all. His passion for falcons knew no bounds. One of the founders of the Raptor Research Foundation, he was the driving force behind the reintroduction of the Peregrine Falcon east of the Mississippi and across much of its North American range. The Peregrine Fund, which he created with the recovery of a single endangered species—the Peregrine Falcon—as its goal, has grown into a conservation organization with a worldwide reach and global impact.

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Treatment Cost-Share Program
Treating hemlock trees for this destructive non-native insect increases the chance of preserving genetic material of hemlock trees throughout the state. The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Treatment Cost-Share Program can help landowners and organizations offset project costs of the treatment of approved eastern or Carolina hemlock trees. Cost-share payment is a reimbursement up to 100% of direct project costs up to $500. If the sum of project costs is over $500, then cost-share payment will be $500 OR 50% of direct project costs, whichever is higher. Cost-share payment may not exceed $1,500 per organization or landowner. Treatment of hemlock trees must be one of the approved methods listed below and all trees must be assessed by a DOF forester prior to enrollment.
