Office of Rural Health Policy Announces Rural Health Research Centers for 2008-2012

The Office of Rural Health Policy has announced the funding of six Rural Health Research Centers for 2008-2012. They are:

The Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) Program is designed to help policymakers better understand the problems that rural communities face in assuring access to health care and strengthening the health of their residents. The centers work to understand the ways in which the health of rural Americans can be improved, analyze the implications of federal and state policy options, and communicate research results to policymakers and others who may take action based on research results.

This is the only Federal program that is dedicated entirely to producing policy-relevant research on health care in rural areas. Initiated in 1988, it is administered by the Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP), Health Resources and Services Administration.
