North Dakota Rural Healthcare Peer Exchange and Professional Development Program

About this program

The North Dakota Rural Healthcare Peer Exchange and Professional Development Program, initiated by the North Dakota State Office of Rural Health and the University of North Dakota Center for Rural Health, offers travel grants to support knowledge exchange and collaboration. This program provides travel support for staff and board members of Critical Access Hospitals, Rural Health Clinics, and rural emergency medicine services in North Dakota to meet and learn from their peers across the state, with a focus on improving healthcare quality and access.

Eligible applicants include individuals or small groups from these healthcare entities, as well as network representatives serving rural health organizations. The program specifically excludes funding for consultant visits, conference travel, or support for regular meetings and training events.
