Grant Overview
Montana's sparse research infrastructure creates capacity gaps for teams pursuing telehealth solutions for seniors through aging biology research. With only two medical schools and limited core facilities outside the Bozeman-Billings corridor, institutions must demonstrate existing high-speed connections and remote sample processing agreements before submitting proposals.
Infrastructure and workforce constraints Most eligible nonprofit academic sites sit in counties where broadband access falls below 60 percent, forcing reliance on university extension offices for data upload. Graduate students and early-career researchers often share technicians with agricultural or wildlife biology labs, creating scheduling conflicts during peak field seasons. The state maintains fewer than 80 certified geriatric research assistants statewide, concentrated in Missoula and Great Falls.
Readiness requirements for remote delivery Proposals succeed when they include memoranda of understanding with at least two frontier clinics for specimen collection and encrypted telehealth platforms tested for 500-mile signal latency. Budgets must allocate funds for satellite backup systems rather than assuming continuous fiber service.
Montana differs from Wyoming by requiring proof of coordination with tribal health authorities on the seven reservations before any telehealth protocol can be tested, reflecting distinct reservation land status and federal trust obligations.
