The primary objective of the Telehealth Resource Center Grant Program (TRC Grant Program) is to provide technical assistance and share expertise with health care organizations, health care providers and health care networks interested in implementing telehealth technology. The resource centers serve as focal points for advancing the effective use of telehealth technologies in their respective communities and regions. In 2010, HRSA awarded grant funds to support eight ("Regional" TRCs). The TRC grant program is authorized under ?330I(d)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c-14(d)(2), as amended by the Health Care Safety Net Amendments of 2002 (P.L. 107-251).
