Summary: Supports telehealth networks to expand access to nutrition services for chronic disease prevention and management in rural and medically underserved areas.
This program funds telehealth networks to integrate nutrition services into primary and specialty care, targeting rural and medically underserved communities. The goal is to improve access to high-quality nutrition care—including medical nutrition therapy (MNT), counseling, and screening—by leveraging telehealth technologies and multidisciplinary care teams. Projects should focus on evidence-based interventions to prevent and manage chronic diseases and must demonstrate innovative approaches to expanding nutrition access, particularly for populations facing barriers due to geography, provider shortages, or other social determinants of health.
