The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) federal Office of Rural Health Policy has announced a grant opportunity to improve maternal health in rural communities. The Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program will test a network approach to improving maternal health access and outcomes in rural regions.
The focus areas of the RMOMS Program include:

HRSA expects to fund at least three networks with each RMOMS award recipient receiving up to $1 million annually for up to four years. Applications are due by June 4.
