The purpose of this grant program is to develop new rural residency programs or Rural Training Tracks (RTT) in family medicine, internal medicine, and psychiatry, to support expansion of the physician workforce in rural areas. The new rural residency programs or RTTs are intended to be sustainable through separate public or private funding beyond the RRPD grant period of performance.
Rural residency programs are allopathic and osteopathic physician residency training programs that primarily train in rural communities, place residents in rural locations for greater than 50 percent of their training, and focus on producing physicians who will practice in rural communities. A common model is the RTT, where the first year of training occurs within a larger program in an urban academic medical center and the final two years occur in a rural facility.

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Enhancing Linkage of STI and HIV Surveillance Data in The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) cooperative agreement. The purpose of this health information technology (HIT) capacity-building demonstration project is to improve linkage, re-engagement in care, and health outcomes for people living with HIV (PLWH) in the RWHAP. HRSA will fund a Technical Assistance Provider (TAP) to identify jurisdictions (state, city, and/or local health departments) and provide programmatic technical assistance (TA) to enable them to create or improve data sharing across their sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV surveillance systems. The TAP will assess jurisdictional barriers to data sharing across STI and HIV surveillance departments and develop tools to address these barriers. This matched STI (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or syphilis cases) and HIV surveillance data will be used to improve the capacity of RWHAP clinics to prioritize resources for linking and re-engaging PLWH into care.
Co-infection of STIs in PLWH has been associated with decreased CD4 cell counts and increased HIV viral load, which can lead to worse health outcomes for PLWH and a greater risk of transmitting HIV to a negative partner.1 Improving data sharing across jurisdictional STI and HIV surveillance systems is critical for improving the capacity to prevent, diagnose, and treat STIs in response to the rising incidence of STIs among PLWH, as well as identifying PLWH who are in need of additional resources to improve their health outcomes.
1 Jarzebowski W, Caumes E, Dupin N, et al. Effect of early syphilis infection on plasma viral load and CD4 cell count in human immunodeficiency virus- infected men: results from the FHDH-ANRS CO4 cohort. Arch Intern Med 2012; 172(16):1237–1243.
The TAP will fund participating states, cities, and/or local health departments (referred to as jurisdictions). To qualify, the jurisdictions:
• must have high rates of reported STIs (specifically, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or syphilis cases) per the CDC 2017 Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Surveillance Report in areas with high HIV prevalence or high rates of new HIV diagnosis per the 2016 CDC HIV Surveillance Report.
• must be willing to work to improve their STI and HIV surveillance data sharing to accomplish the goals of this project.
• electronically match person-level STI and HIV surveillance data less frequently than once per month or not at all
• do not have a mechanism in place to conduct additional follow-up activities such as linkage to care or reengagement in care.
Improving the frequency of this data sharing will inform RWHAP clinics’ decision- making around allocation of resources and services to improve health outcomes of PLWH.
The TAP will also work collaboratively with a contractor (funded separately by HRSA) who will evaluate the overall effectiveness and impact of this project. This demonstration project aligns with the HRSA clinical priority of "transforming the workforce" by enhancing the linkage of STI and HIV surveillance data so provider resources can be tailored and targeted to address the needs of PLWH with a current STI and ensure they are linked or re-engaged in HIV care in the RWHAP.

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding for a new 3-year initiative entitled Strengthening Systems of Care for People Living with HIV and Opioid Use Disorder. The purpose of this initiative is to fund an estimated one (1) to four (4) entities, referred to as System Coordination Providers (SCPs), who will assist states in leveraging resources at federal, state, and local levels for people living with HIV (PLWH) and opioid use disorder (OUD). Specifically, the goal of this initiative is to strengthen system-level coordination and networks of care between the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipients and other federal, state and local entities funded to respond to the opioid epidemic to ensure PLWH and OUD have access to behavioral health (BH) care, treatment, and recovery services.
This will be accomplished by identifying new and expanded resources to treat persons with OUD, identifying new and existing partners in the system of care, and building and strengthening networks of care between the RWHAP and entities receiving OUD-focused resources. This initiative will strengthen and build upon existing systems of care and treatment that will maximize cross-sector collaboration across federal, state, and local partners in order to achieve improvements in the system-level coordination and leveraging of available resources for improving the health outcomes of PLWH and OUD.
While the intent of this initiative is to strengthen systems of care to address OUD, it is likely that increasing collaboration and integration among RWHAP recipients and entities receiving OUD funding may also enhance the system of care for other comorbid conditions for PLWH, such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other BH disorders as well.
The SCP(s) awarded under this initiative will be responsible for implementing a system-wide assessment of OUD care and treatment, if none is available, and identifying the availability of resources at the federal, state, and local levels to combat the national opioid epidemic. The SCP(s) will assist RWHAP providers in leveraging the use of these resources for the care and treatment of OUD in PLWH, and should capitalize on what has already been done, if relevant. The SCP(s) will ultimately enhance the capacity of these organizations to capitalize on resources directed at addressing the opioid epidemic to improve BH treatments among PLWH and OUD.

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Program (Rural Quality Program). The purpose of the Rural Quality Program is to support planning and implementation of quality improvement activities for rural primary care providers or providers of health care services, such as a critical access hospital or a rural health clinic, serving rural residents. These activities include providing clinical health services to residents of rural areas by funding projects that coordinate, expand access, contain costs, and improve the quality of essential health care services.
The program goal is to promote the development of an evidence-based quality improvement culture and to promote the delivery of cost-effective, coordinated health care services in primary care settings. Successfully funded projects will enhance the delivery of health care in rural areas and demonstrate improvements in: 1) patient health outcomes for the rural communities served and 2) the delivery and quality of essential rural health care services by the end of the three-year period of performance. Additional objectives of the program include enhanced chronic disease management and increased engagement of patients and their caregivers.
In alignment with the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) and Health Resources and Services (HRSA) priorities and current rural health care needs, the FY 2019 Rural Quality Program additionally requests project proposals focus on rural chronic disease management and/or the integration of mental/behavioral health services into the rural primary care setting. You are also strongly encouraged to incorporate quality improvement initiatives that align with Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and Value-Based Care Delivery (VBC) approaches to care. Both PCMH and VBC apply the concepts of systematic and continuous quality improvement and will help position award recipients to provide high quality, affordable and accessible patient-centered health care services.1, 2
Although it is not a requirement, HRSA strongly encourages applicants to form a consortium or network for this program. As health care delivery becomes an increasingly collaborative environment, HRSA finds the formation of partnerships for community-based projects an effective way to meet rural community needs, enhance organizational roles, and expand critical health care services and rural delivery systems. Further, consortia and networks can contribute great value to quality improvement initiatives through leveraging shared resources, information, and participation in incentive programs rewarding health care professionals for the provision of preventive and quality care services.
Funding under this program may be used to provide start-up funds for quality improvement initiatives that allow recipients to develop the necessary capacity and ability to obtain funding from other sources. Awarded organizations are not required to, but are permitted, to use funds to obtain or maintain nationally recognized

quality improvement accreditation such as, PCMH by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), among others. Applicants that are health departments and/or partner with health departments are particularly encouraged to pursue such accreditation.
HRSA also recognizes how the focus on value among public and private insurers may further serve strategies for post-funding project sustainability. You are encouraged to consider leveraging value-based payment and reimbursement structures for maintaining proposed projects at the conclusion of federal funding, if awarded. Please refer to this NOFO’s Project Narrative Methodology section A. Goals and Objectives and C. Sustainability Approach for more information and additional guidance on this topic.
HRSA recognizes rural health care organizations often provide a variety of essential health care services and, if awarded, does not restrict applicants from expanding or replicating proposed project activities as part of implementation efforts during the three-year period of performance. For additional information and guidance, please refer to the instructions included in the Project Narrative section.
