State agencies have been preparing for the Rural Health Transformation Program—building strategies, forming partnerships, and mapping out how $50 billion will reach the communities that need it most.
Now that the funding is officially available, the grant management work begins. And you’re balancing a lot: multi-year outcome tracking, federal compliance requirements, coordination across rural counties, and the pressure to distribute funds efficiently while documenting everything.
Coastal’s grants management solution is designed to support state agencies navigating exactly this kind of complexity.
What Coastal’s Grants Management Solution Enables
You’ve already developed your vision and strategy for transforming rural health. Our grants management solution handles the administrative mechanics, so your team can execute those plans efficiently.
Application Review
Our automated scoring based on your predefined criteria handles initial screening. Your reviewers spend their time on borderline cases and strategic decisions rather than obvious approvals or denials. Applications move through review faster, and sub-grantees get answers sooner.
Streamlined Approvals
When legal reviews, budget approvals, and cross-agency sign-offs run in parallel rather than sequentially, the cycle time from submission to payment drops significantly. You can configure workflows so stakeholders get visibility when they need it and decision rights where they’re required.
Strategic Risk Management
Identifying potential risks early ensures that funding is used effectively and remains compliant. By leveraging Salesforce’s flexible scoring system and reusable question sets, you can apply consistent evaluation standards across different programs without starting from scratch. These assessments lead directly to configurable, reusable Action Plans, enabling your team to effectively manage and track outcomes from every risk assessment.
Compliance Tracking
Annual performance reports, quarterly financial reports, and audit documentation—our solution pulls this data directly from your workflow instead of requiring manual compilation. Automated alerts flag upcoming deadlines and milestone dates, so your team stays ahead of requirements.
These capabilities reduce administrative burden while maintaining the compliance and documentation rigor federal programs require.
Visibility Across Your Rural Health Transformation Program
Our grants management solution connects all your program data in one place: application data, payment schedules, and performance metrics. This gives you program-wide visibility that’s challenging to maintain across spreadsheets and disconnected systems.
Consolidated Program View
See all RHTP activity in one view: which sub-grantees are behind schedule, where funds remain unallocated, and which initiatives are approaching spending caps. When you can see the full program at a glance, you can reallocate resources strategically and stay ahead of your annual reporting cycles.
Automated Compliance Tracking
Track five-year workforce retention commitments, payment cap compliance, and outcome metrics across all your sub-grantees. Automated alerts flag when a provider is approaching their payment limit or when a retention milestone is coming due. You catch issues early, rather than discovering them during audits.
Provider Self-Service Portals
Provider self-service portals let sub-grantees submit documentation and check payment status directly. Your staff answers strategic questions instead of routine status inquiries. Providers get immediate answers, and your team has more capacity for program support.
Moving Forward
You’ve built a strong plan for rural health transformation. The right grants management infrastructure ensures your team can execute that plan efficiently with less administrative burden and more capacity for strategic program support.
Coastal’s grants management solution is built on Salesforce and designed for state agencies managing complex federal programs. We help you track multi-year commitments, automate compliance reporting, and give providers direct access to submit documentation.
