Opportunity Information: Apply for VA HRTG 2021
The "Grants for Transportation in Highly Rural Areas" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: VA HRTG 2021) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), specifically through Member Services and the Veterans Transportation function. It is tied to CFDA number 64.035 and falls under the transportation activity category. The purpose of this fiscal year 2021 Notice of Funding Availability is to support transportation services that help veterans living in highly rural areas get to needed care and services, with the emphasis on maintaining or continuing established transportation efforts rather than launching entirely new initiatives.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open competition for new applicants. It only applies to organizations that are already current recipients of the Highly Rural Transportation Grant (HRTG). In other words, only existing HRTG grantees are eligible to apply under this particular announcement. The eligible applicant types referenced include VA-accredited Veteran Service Organizations and State Veteran Entities, but only to the extent that they are already participating as current grantees under the program.
For FY 2021, approximately $2.8 million is authorized to be appropriated for this funding round. Individual awards are relatively small compared to many federal grant programs, with an award ceiling of $50,000 per award. The announcement anticipates making around 16 awards, which signals that funds are intended to be distributed across multiple rural-serving grantees rather than concentrated into a few large awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive or merit-based process within the eligible pool rather than by formula.
Timing details in the notice indicate it was created on May 21, 2021, with an original closing date of June 22, 2021. That roughly one-month window suggests the agency expected current grantees to already have much of the required program background and operational capacity in place, and to submit continuation or renewal-style materials rather than build a proposal from scratch.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a continuation funding notice aimed at sustaining transportation solutions for veterans in highly rural communities, administered by VHA Member Services, with modest per-award funding, a limited eligible pool restricted to existing HRTG recipients, and a total FY 2021 funding level of about $2.8 million across an expected 16 awards.Apply for VA HRTG 2021
