Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Training in Primary Care Medicine Predoctoral Training in Primary Care grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-233) was a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Recovery Act-funded program designed to expand and strengthen the primary care physician workforce pipeline. The opportunity focused on supporting predoctoral training in primary care and related training infrastructure, with the broader goal of increasing the number of clinicians prepared for family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics, and improving the capacity of training programs to educate future primary care providers in settings that reflect real community needs.
The grant supported projects that plan, develop, operate, or participate in accredited professional training programs tied to primary care medicine. While it emphasizes predoctoral training, the scope explicitly includes participation in accredited residency or internship programs, and it allows support for medical students, interns, residents, and even practicing physicians (as defined by the Secretary) when those activities align with the program purpose. In practical terms, the funding could be used to strengthen curricula, expand clinical training slots, improve training experiences in community-based environments, and otherwise build out the operational components needed for accredited primary care training pathways. A notable element is that the program also allowed funds to support training for physicians who teach in community-based settings, acknowledging that increasing the number of high-quality training sites often depends on having well-prepared faculty and preceptors outside major academic hospitals.
A major allowable use of funds was need-based financial assistance for trainees through traineeships and fellowships. This support could go to medical students and other medical personnel participating in eligible training programs who planned to specialize or work in family medicine, general internal medicine, or general pediatrics. That feature reflects a workforce strategy: reducing financial barriers for individuals who are committing to primary care careers, where compensation may be lower than many subspecialties, and encouraging entry into fields that are essential for broad access to care.
Eligibility was limited to entities capable of running or partnering in accredited training, emphasizing that the training activities must be conducted by an accredited organization. Eligible applicants included accredited public or nonprofit private hospitals, schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine, academically affiliated physician assistant training programs, and other public or private nonprofit entities (including geographically separate allopathic and osteopathic campuses) that the Secretary determined capable of carrying out the grant. Importantly, the applicant itself did not necessarily have to be the accredited training body as long as a partner organization responsible for the training was accredited, which allowed collaborations between institutions and community training sites as long as accreditation requirements were satisfied.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as a grant under a Recovery Act health funding category (CFDA 93.403, ARRA Grants for Training in Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry Training and Enhancement). It did not require cost sharing or matching. HRSA anticipated making 78 awards with an estimated total funding level of $51,103,000. The funding opportunity was posted April 22, 2010, with an application closing date of May 21, 2010, and it was later archived July 20, 2010. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to HRSA’s grants site, and program support was available through Daniel Mareck, Director, Division of Medicine and Dentistry, Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr), HRSA (dmareck@hrsa.gov, 301-443-1467), who was listed as the program contact for access and questions.
