Opportunity Summary:
The Academic Administrative Units in Primary Care: Primary Care Training and Enhancement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11-153, CFDA 93.884) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen how medical schools organize, teach, and build capacity in core primary care disciplines. The overall aim is to improve clinical teaching and research infrastructure in family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics by supporting the academic "home base" where these activities are coordinated, staffed, and expanded.
Funding can be used to establish, maintain, or improve academic administrative units within eligible institutions. In this context, an academic administrative unit can be a department, division, or another formal organizational unit, as well as a programmatic structure that meaningfully supports primary care training and scholarship. The emphasis is not simply on adding isolated training activities, but on building durable institutional capability: strengthening clinical teaching programs, supporting research and academic development in primary care, and improving the systems that recruit, train, and support both learners and faculty in these fields.
A major feature of the opportunity is its encouragement of integration across disciplines. Applicants may use grant funds to establish, maintain, or improve programs that connect and coordinate academic administrative units across family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics. This integration is intended to enhance interdisciplinary recruitment, training experiences, and faculty development, reflecting the reality that primary care education and workforce development often benefit from shared resources, joint training models, and coordinated approaches to faculty mentorship and professional growth.
The program also allows funding to support community-based teaching capacity. Specifically, funds may be used to plan, develop, and operate a training program for physicians who teach in community-based settings. This supports the development of clinical preceptors and teaching physicians outside traditional academic medical center environments, helping extend training into community practices where a large share of primary care occurs and where learners can gain experience with real-world patient populations and practice models.
Eligibility is limited and very specific: only accredited schools of allopathic medicine (MD-granting) or osteopathic medicine (DO-granting) may apply. No cost sharing or matching is required, which can reduce financial barriers to participation and make it easier for institutions to propose structural or programmatic improvements.
The opportunity includes a funding preference that is unique to this academic administrative units program. Applicants that qualify may request this preference by committing to use funds to either establish new academic administrative units or programs in family medicine, general internal medicine, and/or general pediatrics, or to substantially expand existing units or programs in these areas. In practical terms, this preference is meant to prioritize proposals that build or significantly grow the institutional footprint and capacity of primary care academic units, rather than proposals that are more incremental or limited in scope.
In terms of scale and timing, HRSA anticipated making about 6 awards with an estimated total funding level of $2,350,000 for this competition. The opportunity was posted on June 10, 2011, with an application closing date of July 11, 2011, and it was later archived on September 9, 2011. While those dates indicate this particular announcement is historical, the details still reflect the program’s core intent: investing in the academic infrastructure that supports primary care education, faculty development, research, and community-based training partnerships.
For applicants or stakeholders needing official documentation, the source announcement was available through HRSA’s grants site, and HRSA provided support via the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772), including assistance for those who could not access the full announcement electronically.
