HRSA Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) program
Deadline: April 10, 2025
Award Amount: Maximum $750,000
Match: None
Eligible Entities: Tribal Governments & Higher Education Entities
Description: The purpose of the Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) program is to improve and expand access to health care in rural areas by developing new sustainable rural residency programs, including rural track programs (RTPs). These residency programs must achieve accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Newly created rural residency programs will increase the number of future physicians training in rural areas, and ultimately the number of physicians practicing in rural areas with the goal of addressing the physician workforce shortages in rural communities. The RRPD program provides start-up funding to create new rural residency programs in qualifying medical specialties that will be sustainable long-term through viable and stable funding mechanisms, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and other public or private funding sources. Qualifying medical specialties are family medicine, internal medicine, preventive medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology. For this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), rural residency programs: •Are accredited physician residency programs. •Train residents in clinical training sites that are physically located in a rural area as defined by HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) [1] for greater than 50 percent of their total time in residency. •Focus on producing physicians who will practice in rural communities. The purpose of the RRPD Program is to fund the development of new rural residency programs in qualifying medical specialties. For this funding opportunity, we consider “new” programs to include both programs seeking accreditation for the first time and existing programs that apply for a permanent complement increase to train additional residents at new rural training site(s) as part of an RTP. To be responsive to the program purpose and be considered for funding, you must propose a new rural residency program in a qualifying medical specialty. For this funding opportunity, we do not consider the following to be new programs: •Programs that have received accreditation or a permanent complement increase for their proposed rural residency program before the application due date. •Programs seeking to increase resident full-time equivalents at an existing RTP site without adding a new rural training site.

The Audience Innovations Fund – For Filmmakers
Deadline: Rolling
Award Amount: You can apply for a grant amount from $5,000 to $50,000. The amount you apply for should not exceed 50% of the overall marketing budget for the film or films.
Match: 50%
Eligible Entities: Be a for-profit or nonprofit organization or entity that can demonstrate previous experience distributing and marketing independent feature films. We do not accept applications from individuals, or individual film LLCs at this time.
Description: We are a new program that promotes fresh strategies to grow audiences for independent film releases. We do this through awarding grants for bold experiments around distribution and marketing, and by providing educational resources for film teams to encourage a renewed focus on audiences. We will also release case studies and data publicly so that the field as a whole can learn from the successes and failures of our grantees. Our long term goals are simply larger audiences for independent cinema as well as audiences that are more representative of the U.S. population. In a challenging time for our field, our strategy is to offset the risk of testing new methodologies to strengthen the engagement with thought-provoking films in our culture. We are currently focused on U.S. theatrical and non-theatrical releases. One recent example is the theatrical “pay-it-forward” model used by Angel Studios which allowed viewers to purchase a ticket for others as a gift to see the film free in theaters. The model was aimed at expanding accessibility to audience members who could not afford a ticket. This technique has now been launched in a new form by Gathr which added a feature to provide the purchaser with transparent real-time data as to when and how that ticket is being used. This innovation is a particularly successful example in demonstrating how one experiment can be used as a model to benefit other releases and therefore has the potential to strengthen the entire distribution ecosystem.
