Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program - HCAI Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program Application Cycle: CLOSED # Check back here for information regarding the next application cycle in December 2026. Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program (SHIP) grants provide support to small rural hospitals with implementation of delivery system changes.
Funds will benefit small rural hospitals and help ensure that they have a strong foundation to provide quality health care to their community.

Amounts awarded are dependent upon the availability of federal appropriated funds.
Interested applicants must submit an application to the CalSORH and the hospital’s Medicare Cost Report Worksheet S-3 (PPS Hospitals only). CalSORH will then submit a single grant application to HRSA.
