New York RHTP — Pre-Solicitation Framework
New York
Eligible Entity Types
Tribal Provisions
New York has 9 federally recognized tribal nations, including major Haudenosaunee nations: Seneca Nation of Indians, St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, Oneida Nation, Cayuga Nation, Tuscarora Nation, Tonawanda Band of Seneca, Shinnecock Nation, Unkechauge (Poospatuck) Nation, and Stockbridge-Munsee Community. These nations have distinct government structures, treaty rights, and existing healthcare programs. No tribal set-aside or tribal eligibility provisions have been published for New York's RHTP as of March 22, 2026. Tribal health programs should monitor NYSDOH and NY OHIP for solicitation announcements and engage directly about application pathways.
Application Guide
New York received one of the largest RHTP Year 1 awards nationally, though the exact amount has not been confirmed from accessible sources as of March 22, 2026 (CMS press release URLs returned 404 errors; TAGGS not accessible in research). The expected lead agency is the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), specifically the Charles D. Cook Office of Rural Health (ORH), though this has not been confirmed from a primary source. New York's Medicaid agency (OHIP) is also a plausible lead.
New York's rural geography spans the Adirondacks, North Country, Southern Tier, and western New York — communities as geographically isolated as any rural region in the country, yet governed by a state that also contains New York City. New York has 20 Critical Access Hospitals concentrated in the Adirondacks and Southern Tier, a large FQHC network (120 sites), and 9 federally recognized tribal nations with distinct Haudenosaunee government structures.
Investment categories have not been confirmed from any primary source. CMS application abstract PDF was binary-encoded and not text-extractable. No sub-grantee solicitation, RHTP program page, or lead agency designation has been published as of March 22, 2026.
