Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 107
The Rural Residency Planning and Development Program (RRPD) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed to help organizations plan and launch new rural medical residency training programs, with the bigger goal of strengthening the physician pipeline in rural areas where workforce shortages are persistent and often severe. By investing in the early stages of residency development, the program aims to increase the number of physicians who ultimately choose to practice long-term in rural communities.
The funding focuses on creating new accredited rural residency programs in several key specialties that are especially important for access to care in rural settings: family medicine, internal medicine, public health and general preventive medicine (referred to as preventive medicine), psychiatry, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology. These specialties were selected because rural communities frequently struggle to recruit and retain clinicians in primary care, behavioral health, surgical services, and maternity care, which can directly affect health outcomes and the ability of local health systems to remain viable.
A central feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on "rural residency programs," meaning accredited residency programs where residents spend more than 50 percent of their total training time in rural training sites. The underlying logic is straightforward: physicians are more likely to practice in environments similar to where they train, so sustained, meaningful training time in rural hospitals and clinics increases the odds that graduates will stay and work in rural areas. The notice also highlights a common structure used to make rural training feasible, the 1-2 Rural Training Track (RTT) model. In this approach, residents typically complete their first year in a larger sponsoring program, often located at an urban hospital or academic medical center, and then spend their final two years training in a rural health facility. This model helps combine the resources and infrastructure of an established program with the hands-on, community-based experience of rural practice.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-20-107 and is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the health activity area. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.155. The original posting date is April 29, 2020, with an original application closing date of June 30, 2020. HRSA anticipated making about 11 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $750,000 per award. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, suggesting applicants could include various types of entities involved in graduate medical education and rural health training partnerships, depending on the specific eligibility language in the full funding notice.
Overall, RRPD is essentially a targeted workforce development investment: it funds the groundwork needed to build new rural residency training pathways in high-need specialties, with the expectation that training physicians primarily in rural settings will translate into more physicians practicing in rural communities over time.Apply for HRSA 20 107
