New Jersey received approximately $147.2 million in Year 1 funding under the federal $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program. As with every state, the award is disbursed by CMS annually across five years, with each year's payment tied to performance.
The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) administers the program through its Family Health Services / primary care office. Program contact: RHTP.Application@doh.nj.gov.
New Jersey has published relatively little detail publicly so far. The visible thrust is expanding rural primary care and improving access for underserved populations, including migrant health access and rural maternal and child health — the state's first solicitation targets integrating community doulas into rural maternal care. For the fuller picture, watch the program hub.
New Jersey has not published a public percentage-by-initiative breakdown yet. The state's tracked project priorities are migrant health access and rural primary care expansion, with an early spending signal in maternal and child health through its doula-integration RFA. The full program-by-program allocation is set out in New Jersey's approved budget narrative to CMS.
New Jersey's first published solicitation is an RFA for Doula Integration in Rural New Jersey, released April 10, 2026. NJDOH is seeking proposals to integrate NJ FamilyCare Community doulas into the maternal and child health landscape serving rural residents, with the goal of growing the size and capacity of the community doula workforce and supporting their engagement across health settings. The dispatch list below carries the running record as more opportunities post.
No concrete forward deadlines are confirmed in the public record beyond the April 2026 doula RFA. New opportunities and their application windows surface first in the dated dispatches below and on the NJ DOH Grant Programs Directory.
The Rural Health Transformation Program was created by Section 71401 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025) and is administered federally by CMS. New Jersey administers its award through NJDOH under its CMS-approved application and budget; no separate enabling state statute is named in the record.
Eligibility runs on two tracks. Direct-to-state contracts go out as competitive RFAs, where firms bid as prime applicants. Subgrants and subawards flow to rural providers — hospitals, Rural Health Clinics, FQHCs, maternal-health providers and community organizations — where technology vendors and consultants most often engage as subcontractors or implementation partners. New Jersey posts its opportunities through the NJ DOH grant notices directory.
