CMS awarded all 50 states a slice of the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program on December 29, 2025 — first-year checks average $200M, ranging from $147M to $281M. The federal application is closed and you cannot apply to CMS. The money reaches hospitals, clinics, and nonprofits only as state subawards, and those competitions open through 2026.
