HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy just announced their FY23 Rural Residency Planning & Development (HRSA-23-037) Notice of Funding Opportunity released on grants.gov.
HRSA will be accepting applications through January 27, 2023. The RRPD program is a multi-year HRSA initiative to develop new, accredited and sustainable rural residency programs or rural track programs in family medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, preventive medicine, or obstetrics and gynecology, to support the expansion of the physician workforce and increase opportunities for residents to train in rural communities.
HRSA will award 15 grants of up to $750,000 each to support the start-up costs of creating new rural residency programs (e.g., accreditation, faculty development, resident recruitment, etc.)
