Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 094
The Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), focused on strengthening health care access in rural communities by building the rural physician pipeline. The program funds the early planning and development work needed to launch new, accredited rural residency programs that are designed to be sustainable over the long term and to ultimately increase the number of doctors who choose to practice in rural areas.
At its core, RRPD is meant to address persistent rural physician workforce shortages by supporting the creation of new residency training slots in rural settings. The opportunity specifically targets new residency programs (or new rural training tracks) in family medicine, internal medicine, preventive medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology. HRSA frames the funding as start-up support: the award is intended to help organizations do the groundwork required to establish a program that can later operate on stable, ongoing financing streams such as Medicare graduate medical education funding, Medicaid, and other public or private sources. A key point in the announcement is that the funding is not for existing rural residency programs; it is explicitly limited to developing new rural residencies or new rural training tracks, and applications from existing programs are not considered.
For the purposes of this grant, a "rural residency" is defined as an accredited allopathic or osteopathic physician residency program where residents spend more than 50 percent of their total training time at rural training sites, with an emphasis on preparing physicians to practice in rural communities after graduation. HRSA recognizes that rural training can be structured in different ways. Some programs may be fully based in rural locations, while others may operate as part of a larger residency program that includes urban partners. The announcement highlights the rural training track (RTT) model as a common approach, including the "1-2" format in which the first year takes place in an urban hospital or academic medical center and the final two years occur at a rural health facility. The overall goal is to expand training capacity in rural settings because training location is strongly linked to where physicians ultimately practice.
From the funding details provided, this opportunity is listed as HRSA-22-094 under CFDA 93.155, and it uses the grant funding instrument under the health activity category. The award ceiling is $750,000, and HRSA anticipated making about 14 awards under this notice. The opportunity was created on October 20, 2021, with an original application closing date of December 20, 2021. Eligibility is noted as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, meaning applicants typically need to consult the complete funding announcement to confirm the specific types of entities that can apply and any required partnership or accreditation-related conditions.
In practical terms, RRPD is meant to help rural hospitals, health systems, academic partners, and other eligible organizations move from concept to reality by supporting the planning, accreditation preparation, and development steps that new rural residency programs require. The intended outcome is not just creating a program on paper, but building a new rural residency that can graduate physicians year after year and remain financially viable once the initial HRSA start-up period ends, thereby improving long-term access to essential medical and surgical services in rural communities.Apply for HRSA 22 094
