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: https://www.rd.usda.gov/sites/default/files/list_of_dlt_grants_fy2021.pdf 
Thank you.
