Good evening colleagues,
I'm passing along this funding announcement from the US Department of Agriculture to
COEHD faculty conducting work in rural communities. Funding may be used to support remote
delivery of clinical services or training. the DLT Program provides financial assistance
to enable and improve distance learning and telemedicine services in rural areas. DLT
grant funds support the use of telecommunications-enabled information, audio and video
equipment, and related advanced technologies by students, teachers, medical professionals,
and rural residents. These grants are intended to increase rural access to education,
training, and health care resources that are otherwise unavailable or limited in scope.
This list of programs that USDA funded last year provides insight into the type of
programs being supported:
