USDA Announces Second Application Window for Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant Program Funding
$72 Million Available to Help Rural Residents Gain Access to Health Care and Educational Opportunities.
Due to the COVID-19 National Emergency, USDA is providing an additional window for those who cannot complete applications prior to the first application deadline. This action will provide more time for applicants to complete their funding requests. Access to distance learning and telemedicine makes it easier for thousands of rural residents to take advantage of health care and educational opportunities without having to travel long distances or be among large groups of people.

COVID-19 High Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium
This consortium is a unique private-public effort to bring together federal government, industry, and academic leaders to execute complex computational research programs. Researchers are invited to submit COVID-19 related research proposals to the consortium via this online portal, which will then be reviewed for matching with computing resources from one of the partner institutions. An expert panel comprised of top scientists and computing researchers will work with proposers to assess the public health benefit of the work, with emphasis on projects that can ensure rapid results.

Request for Information for PPE in response to COVID-19
Notice ID:SPE1C1-20-R-COVID19
DLA is conducting market research to determine industry capabilities for providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against viral contamination, specifically COVID-19. This is a Request for Information only and not a solicitation for award.
Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium released a pre-announcement on a potential Request for Project Proposals
(RPP) for prototypes of medical and information technologies to combat Covid-19. Potential areas of interest:
- Point-of-care diagnostic that provides rapid and accurate determination on exposure to COVID-19.
- Prophylactic(s)/Therapeutic(s) that can prevent and/or treat in a rapid manner (few hours to 2 days) potentially in a non-hospital environment. Repurposing FDA-approved drugs/biologics for prevention/treatment of COVID-19 or testing of drugs/biologics that have already demonstrated safety in humans are preferred.
- Disease predictive modeling that provides early warning through data capture from several different streams of data to include social media and artificial intelligence (AI) parameter decision tools that would provide actionable information to medical service providers and command structures.
- Patient monitoring, tracking, and management system for in-home or non-hospital environment patient tele-health services to include interface into the Cerner electronic health record.” If the Army does release a formal solicitation, the RPP will be posted to the MTEC website, likely within the next few weeks.
