AI Contract Overview

The Rural Residency Planning and Development program aims to strengthen rural health care by establishing new, accredited residency programs in specific medical specialties—family medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology—located in designated rural areas. These programs must devote more than half of residents’ training time to clinical sites in rural regions as defined by HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy and are designed to prepare physicians specifically for practice in underserved rural communities. Start-up funding is provided to launch these programs, with the expectation that long-term financial sustainability will be achieved through stable funding sources such as Medicare, Medicaid, or other public and private mechanisms. The initiative is managed by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, and opportunities to apply are announced through the official grants portal with point of contact details available for inquiries.

Full Description

The Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) program improves and expands rural health care access. It does this by developing new, accredited, sustainable rural residency programs, including rural track programs (RTPs). Newly created rural physician residency programs increase training and ultimately practice in rural areas to address physician shortages. The RRPD program provides start-up funding to create new rural residency programs in qualifying medical specialties. Long-term sustainability funding must come from viable and stable sources, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and other public or private sources. Qualifying medical specialties are:

Family medicine.
Internal medicine.
Psychiatry.
General surgery.
Obstetrics and gynecology.

For this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), rural residency programs:

Are accredited physician residency programs.
Train residents in clinical training sites that are physically located in a rural area as defined by HRSA's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) for greater than 50 percent of their total time in residency.
Focus on preparing physicians to practice in rural communities.
