The RRPD Program supports planning and development of new residency programs to strengthen the physician workforce in rural communities.  For more information about program expectations and past application requirements, refer to the last year's Notice of Funding Opportunity (HRSA-25-007).  Training physicians in rural residency programs not only improves access to care in rural areas but also increases the likelihood of graduates practicing in a rural community.
