Justification: The Rural Health
Research Center (RHRC) program’s
purpose is to support high-quality,
impartial, policy-relevant research to
assist health care providers and
decision/policy-makers at the federal,
state, and local levels in better
understanding the health care
challenges faced by rural communities
to improve health care in rural areas.
RHRC recipients conduct policyoriented health services research,
update trend analyses and existing
research, and conduct necessary
literature reviews on rural health issues
and synthesize the issues into publically
available policy briefs designed to
improve health care in rural areas.
In fiscal year 2021 departmental
appropriations report language, HRSA’s
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy
was directed to fund programs to assist
the NBR, which is comprised of the
States of Vermont, Maine, New York
and New Hampshire. As part of that
directive, HRSA intends to work in
consultation with the Northern Border
Region Commission to fund one RHRC
to do a comprehensive region wide
assessment of health, health outcomes,
health needs, and health assets for the
purpose of improving health care in
rural areas within the NBR. The only
RHRC positioned to do this work is the
University of Southern Maine. It is the
only RHRC that is located within the
NBR states that has the capability to
research regional rural health care needs
and has experience working with the
required data from these states. The

this responsibility under the Program to
HRSA. The Court is directed by statute
to appoint special masters who take
evidence, conduct hearings as
appropriate, and make initial decisions
as to eligibility for, and amount of,
compensation.
A petition may be filed with respect
to injuries, disabilities, illnesses,
conditions, and deaths resulting from
vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury

aggravation after vaccine
administration. Compensation may also
be awarded for conditions not listed in

manifested outside the time periods
specified in the Table, but only if the
