How to Participate in New Jersey
Steps for healthcare organizations to access RHTP funding through New Jersey's programs.
Note: RHTP funds flow from CMS to state agencies, which then distribute to providers through sub-awards and contracts. Direct federal applications are not accepted — participation is through your state's program.
Where to watch for New Jersey RFPs
RHTP funding flows through multiple systems. Watch all of these to avoid missing postings — statewide procurement portals, health-agency grants pages, and program landing pages.
