Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Health Workforce Development Program (HRSA-10-193) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen rural health care by building and sustaining rural health networks that can improve recruitment and retention of primary care and allied health professionals. The core idea is to help rural communities create practical, community-based training experiences that attract emerging health professionals, especially students and residents, to train in rural settings and ultimately choose rural practice. The program is closely tied to broader federal priorities at the time, including the 2010 Presidents Rural Initiative, and it aligns with HRSA and HHS goals around access, quality, health outcomes, and stronger health systems.
Funding is intended for established, sustainable networks that already have collaborative relationships and are ready to develop or expand training models that make rural practice more visible, supported, and professionally viable. These networks typically form partnerships between rural health care organizations and accredited health workforce training institutions, using real clinical settings in rural communities as the training ground. A key emphasis is on innovative, community-centered approaches that do more than provide a rotation; they build meaningful connections between trainees and the community, including culturally competent experiences and opportunities to participate in local community activities. The logic behind the program is that stronger community ties and better-supported training placements make it more likely that trainees will return as long-term rural providers.
Program-supported activities can cover a range of training and support components. Networks may develop new training programs or expand existing ones, and they can provide practical support that reduces barriers for trainees, such as help with housing and transportation during rural rotations. The program also allows for paying preceptors, which can increase the capacity and quality of supervision in rural clinical sites. HRSA highlights that these investments may lower long-term recruitment costs for rural employers and could even help create a sustainable revenue stream or operational model that keeps the network functioning after federal funding ends.
The opportunity lays out several major goals. First, it aims to give students and residents hands-on training in community-focused rural settings in ways that are culturally competent and relationship-driven, reinforcing ties between trainees and the community. Second, it seeks to improve the viability of participating rural organizations by increasing their ability to recruit and retain needed clinicians. Third, it encourages networks to test and document innovative approaches that use a network model to deliver rural, community-based clinical training. Finally, it aims to foster lasting rural health networks that can continue addressing workforce shortages beyond the life of the grant.
In terms of scale and timing, HRSA expected to make about 20 awards with an estimated total program funding amount of $4,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity was posted March 12, 2010, created March 15, 2010, and closed April 30, 2010, with an archive date of June 29, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 93.912 (Rural Health Care Services Outreach, Rural Health Network Development and Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement).
Eligibility is focused on rural, nonprofit, community-serving entities leading formal networks. The applicant must be a public or private nonprofit located in a rural area (including a rural census tract within an urban county), and the grant-funded services must be delivered in a rural county or rural census tract. The network must include at least three separate, existing organizations, and organizations that are jointly owned do not count as separate entities for this requirement. The partnership has to be formalized, meaning each member signs a Memorandum of Agreement or another formal collaborative agreement. Certain specialized applicants also qualify, including organizations that exist exclusively to serve migrant and seasonal farmworkers in rural areas and are supported under Section 330G of the Public Health Service Act, as well as Tribal governments when the activities occur within their federally recognized Tribal area.
For applicants needing the official announcement or technical help accessing it, HRSA directed questions to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone contact options, along with an online link to the full posting.
