Small Hospital Improvement Program Grants (SHIP)
Every year HRSA's Office of Rural Health Policy offers grant programs to every state, where they can receive roughly $8,500 per rural hospital under 50 beds. The WI-ORH applies for this money each year, asking for applications from all qualifying Wisconsin hospitals at the beginning of the calendar year. The grant year begins Sept 1st of each year, with funded activities completed by Aug 31st of the following year. Progress reports and documentation of expenses must be submitted by each hospital after the grant year ends.
