The Rural Health and Safety Education Competitive Grants Program (RHSE) program supports quality of life in rural communities across the United States by addressing the relationship between rural prosperity and rural health; and safety in the context of food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences. RHSE program proposals are expected to be community-based outreach education programs, such as those conducted through Human Science extension outreach that provide individuals and families with:

  *   Information as to the value of good health at any age
  *   Information to increase individual or family's motivation to take more responsibility for their own health
  *   Information regarding rural environmental health issues that directly impact human health
  *   Information about and access to health promotion and educational activities
  *   Training for volunteers and health services providers concerning health promotion and health care services for individuals and families in cooperation with state, local, and community partners.
Who Is Eligible to Apply: 1862 Land-Grant Institutions, 1890 Land-Grant Institutions, 1994 Land-Grant Institutions.  Award recipients may subcontract to organizations not eligible to apply provided such organizations are necessary for the conduct of the project.

Proposed budgets must not exceed $350,000 total or request funding for more than 2 years.
Part of the overall purpose of the RHSE is to foster quality of life in rural communities by providing the essential knowledge necessary for successful programs of rural development, improving coordination among Federal agencies, other levels of government, and institutions and private organizations in rural areas, and developing and disseminating information about rural conditions.
The RHSE program supports quality of life in rural communities across the United States by addressing the relationship between rural prosperity and rural health and safety in the context of food, agriculture, natural resources and human sciences. In doing so, the program aligns with and specifically addresses USDA Strategic Goals for FY 2018-2022, Goal 4: Facilitate rural prosperity and economic development, Objective 1: To expand rural business opportunity and rural quality of life with access to capital; improve infrastructure, broadband access and connectivity; and support workforce availability.
Project Narrative (PN) must not exceed 15 1.5 spaced pages of written text and up to 5 1.5 spaced additional pages for figures and tables (the font size for tables should be no smaller than 11 points, Times New Roman).
USDA-NIFA requests applications to address the needs of rural Americans by providing individual and family health education programs and support the utilization of telehealth, telemedicine, and distance learning strategies for education and training in minority rural communities related to preventing spread of SARS-CoV-2 and in mitigating infection and transmission of SARS-CoV2.
RHSE projects must be implemented in federally classified rural counties. Applicants must identify rural counties in which their programs will be implemented. For definitions of Rural (Non-metro) counties and county classifications, use the following:
* The 2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Codes system definitions from the Economic Research Service can be found at https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ruralurban-continuum-codes/documentation.aspx; and to obtain the actual codes by state for your proposed project counties, see the 2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Code County table at: https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/rural-urbancontinuum-codes/.  For each county in which your project will be implemented, provide Rural-Urban Continuum Code as found in the table. Only counties with codes #4-9 are appropriate for inclusion.
