the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill through the RRPD-TA 
Cooperative Agreement with a budget period of September 30, 2026,

of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to build on past and ongoing projects

develop additional resources to promote rural graduate medical 
education development and sustainability.
