Opportunity Summary:
The Rural Training Track Technical Assistance (RTT TA) Demonstration Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement, led through the Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP), designed to strengthen the national pipeline of rural family physicians by improving the performance and sustainability of Rural Training Track (RTT) residency programs. RTTs, as defined in this announcement, are "1-2" family medicine residency models where residents complete their first year at a central (often urban) program and then spend the final two years training at rural sites. The core idea behind the opportunity is straightforward: rural communities tend to retain physicians who train there, so helping RTTs recruit, fill, and remain viable is a practical way to increase the long-term supply of rural family physicians.
The grant funds a single national effort that brings together a consortium of organizations and RTT stakeholders to figure out, in a systematic way, what is keeping RTT programs from consistently recruiting residents and producing as many rural physicians as they could. The consortium is expected to identify and analyze key policy issues affecting RTT sites, pinpoint barriers to viability and resident "fill rates," and then turn that analysis into hands-on technical assistance that helps RTT programs address those barriers. In other words, the work is meant to move beyond describing challenges and toward providing practical, targeted support that measurably improves RTT program outcomes.
A defining feature of the opportunity is that it is structured as a pilot under the Improving Rural Health Care Initiative. ORHP is explicitly testing whether targeted policy work and technical assistance, delivered through a coordinated national network, can strengthen RTT programs enough to improve their stability and resident recruitment. The longer-term vision is a self-sustaining national RTT network that can continue after the initial federal investment, supported either by the consortium members themselves or by cost savings that come from reduced reliance on expensive recruitment efforts for residents and future rural physicians.
Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the federal role is typically more involved, with HRSA/ORHP likely collaborating with the awardee on direction, priorities, and deliverables. The program expects one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.155 (Rural Health Research Centers), reflecting its emphasis on understanding system-level and policy-level issues while also producing actionable assistance for programs in the field.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organization types but narrow in terms of required national reach and relationships. Applications may be submitted by public or private nonprofit entities, including faith-based and community-based organizations, state governments and agencies (such as universities, colleges, research institutions, and hospitals), local governments or their bona fide agents, and federally recognized Tribal governments and Tribal organizations. However, the threshold expectations make clear that the applicant must be national in scope and must already have established working relationships across multiple constituencies that shape rural training and rural practice. Those constituencies include Rural Family Medicine Residency Programs and RTT sites themselves, Academic Medical Centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, Rural Health Clinics, Critical Access Hospitals, and national rural associations. Beyond that, the applicant is expected to have relationships with, and to build a consortium that includes, all or almost all RTT programs nationwide, with each consortium member playing a clearly defined role and making a meaningful contribution to the project goals.
Operationally, the program requires a central coordinating entity that serves as the applicant of record and manages the cooperative agreement activities. That lead organization is responsible for building and coordinating the national consortium, fostering durable collaboration among RTT programs, and ensuring the network functions in a way that supports problem identification, policy analysis, and delivery of technical assistance. The emphasis on "creative and lasting relationships" signals that HRSA is looking for more than a temporary working group; it is looking for infrastructure and coordination that can outlast the grant period and continue to support RTTs as a shared national enterprise.
Key administrative details from the announcement include the funding opportunity number HRSA-10-192, a posted date of March 11, 2010, and a closing date of April 30, 2010 (with the archive date listed as June 25, 2010).

Rural Training Track Technical Assistance (RTT TA) Demonstration Program (HRSA-10-192) - FAQs
What is the Rural Training Track Technical Assistance (RTT TA) Demonstration Program?
The RTT TA Demonstration Program is an HRSA cooperative agreement led through the Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP). Its purpose is to strengthen the national pipeline of rural family physicians by improving the performance and sustainability of Rural Training Track (RTT) residency programs.
What does "Rural Training Track (RTT)" mean in this funding opportunity?
In this announcement, RTTs are defined as "1-2" family medicine residency models where residents complete their first year at a central (often urban) program and then spend the final two years training at rural sites.
Why is HRSA/ORHP focusing on RTT programs as a strategy to increase rural physicians?
The opportunity is grounded in the idea that rural communities tend to retain physicians who train there. Strengthening RTTs is intended to improve recruitment and program viability so more family physicians train in rural settings and remain in rural practice over the long term.
What is the main goal of the RTT TA Demonstration Program?
The main goal is to improve RTT program outcomes by identifying what is limiting RTT sustainability and resident recruitment (including resident "fill rates"), analyzing policy and system barriers, and delivering hands-on technical assistance that helps RTT programs address those barriers.
Is this funding intended for multiple local projects or one national effort?
This program is designed to fund a single national effort. The announcement anticipates one award that supports a national consortium and coordinated technical assistance activities across RTT programs.
How much funding is available, and how many awards are expected?
The estimated total funding amount is $500,000, and the program expects to make one award.
Is cost sharing or matching funds required?
No. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
What is a cooperative agreement, and how does it affect the federal role?
