Part-time contractor | 10 to 20 hours/week | Primary focus: Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP)

Role Summary

AISAP is seeking a practical grant development and project management professional to support RHTP grants and initiatives. The person will help AISAP identify the right regional coalitions, partner organizations, stakeholders, and state-level opportunities where AISAP can participate in rural health grant submissions.

This is not a pure grant writing role. AISAP needs someone who can identify opportunities, shape the project, coordinate partners, manage deadlines, and help move RHTP submissions from concept to application to execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Make RHTP the primary workstream, including tracking state priorities, deadlines, eligibility rules, coalition models, and relevant initiatives.
• Identify health systems, rural hospitals, regional coalitions, nonprofits, state agencies, and other stakeholders AISAP can partner with for RHTP submissions.
• Map AISAP use cases to rural health priorities, including cardiac access, cardiovascular health, transfer reduction, clinical decision support, and rural clinical capacity.
• Coordinate partner outreach, coalition development, letters of support, proposal inputs, timelines, assignments, and submission requirements.
• Draft and organize practical proposal content, including project summaries, workplans, milestones, budget logic, outcomes, and reporting needs.

Required Qualifications

• Experience in rural health, healthcare delivery, public health, community hospitals, health systems, or healthcare access programs.
• Some grant experience, such as grant research, proposal coordination, application support, narrative drafting, budget coordination, or post-award reporting.
• Strong project management skills and ownership of timelines, documents, stakeholders, follow-ups, and deadlines.
• Ability to translate AISAP’s clinical and operational value into credible grant, coalition, and partner language.
• Comfort working across commercial, clinical, finance, product, hospital, and external partner teams.

Preferred Background

• Familiarity with RHTP, rural health transformation, Medicaid/state health programs, health equity initiatives, or regional healthcare coalitions.
• Experience with grant-funded healthcare technology, care access, telehealth, quality improvement, workforce, or clinical innovation projects.
• Knowledge of rural hospitals, state health agencies, community health organizations, or regional healthcare networks.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is organized, resourceful, and commercially practical. They can find the right partners, frame AISAP’s value for RHTP, manage a structured application process, and keep stakeholders moving toward submission deadlines.
