Abstract: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP), is requesting OMB approval for a new Technical Assistance Data Form for the State Offices of Rural Health Grant (SORH) program. State Office of Rural Health grantees have provided narrative information on their accomplishments; however, this general information is not standardized and does not provide quantitative detail on the provision of technical assistance. This collection will serve that purpose.
