To understand the priorities and accomplishments of state Flex Grant Programs, members of the Flex Monitoring Team asked Flex Coordinators to identify and discuss their states' three most successful initiatives in the past two years. Interviews were conducted during February 2007 with Flex Coordinators and State Office of Rural Health staff (SORH) in all 45 states. The listed publication is a policy brief; the full report will be available in the fall of 2007. Report produced by the Flex Monitoring Project, funded by the Office of Rural Health Policy.
