If the level of appropriated funds is less than the FY 2001 level, these grants will be restricted to networks that only serve rural communities, although the grantee may be located in an urban area. Faith-based and community based organizations are eligible under the TNGP, as well as American Indian and/or Alaska Native Tribal Organizations that meet all the eligibility requirements.

The telehomecare network grant awards are to demonstrate how telehealth networks can improve healthcare through provision of clinical care and remote monitoriing of patients in their place of residence using telehealth technologies. These home care network awards are to focus on evaluating the cost-effectiveness of telehomecare services and may include, but are not limited to, case management by physicians, hospitals, medical clinics, home health agencies, or other health care providers who supervise the care of patients in their home.
