Rural Residency Planning and Development Program Services

The Health Resources and Services Administration is seeking rural residency planning and development program services to improve and expand healthcare access in rural areas. The agency is trying to address physician shortages by creating new rural physician residency programs that train physicians to practice in rural communities and meet the clinical needs of rural populations. The scope of work requires the development of a new rural residency program that achieves accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The selected provider must finalize a validated sustainability plan that includes ongoing funding streams, such as Medicare, to sustain long-term resident training after the program is established. Additionally, the project requires the development of a structured plan to track and publicly report on resident career outcomes. Eligible bidders must perform all work onsite within the United States. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from interested bidders.
