Opportunity Summary:

The Center for Integrative Medicine in Primary Care (CIMPC) program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-123). Its main goal is to help primary care residency programs and other health professions training programs formally incorporate integrative medicine (IM) into education and day-to-day training. The emphasis is on competency-based curricula, meaning applicants are expected to define the specific skills and knowledge trainees should gain and then build training experiences that reliably teach and assess those competencies in real clinical and interprofessional settings.

A central expectation of the CIMPC program is that the funded center will do more than just teach integrative medicine locally. The award is intended to strengthen the broader evidence base for IM in primary care by documenting what is being implemented, how it is being implemented, and what outcomes or promising effects are observed. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to produce usable, transferable lessons about how integrative medicine can be responsibly integrated into primary care training and team-based practice, including identifying approaches that appear most workable or effective and sharing those practices as technical assistance at a national level.

This funding opportunity was structured to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,700,000 and an expected number of awards of 1. No cost sharing or matching was required. While an explicit award ceiling and floor were not specified in the summary information provided, the presence of a single anticipated award signals that HRSA was looking for one lead organization capable of operating as a national center or hub, rather than distributing smaller awards across multiple sites.

Eligible applicants include a fairly wide set of organizations, as long as they can demonstrate the appropriate accreditation or nonprofit status and the capacity to carry out the required work. Eligible entities include health professions schools (including accredited schools or programs in public health, health administration, preventive medicine, dental public health, or health management programs), academic health centers, state or local governments, and other appropriate public or private nonprofit entities. Training programs have specific accreditation requirements: any graduate medical education program applying must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or approved by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and public health programs must be accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). Other applicants must provide documentation proving nonprofit organizational status. A key compliance detail is that applicants were required to attach an accreditation letter or organizational status documentation as Attachment 1; failing to include this attachment would make the application nonresponsive and ineligible for review. Tribes and tribal organizations, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, were explicitly noted as eligible if they otherwise meet requirements and can perform the scope of work, including providing national technical assistance related to integrative medicine.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted May 12, 2014, with an application deadline of June 13, 2014, and it was later archived on September 13, 2014. It falls under CFDA 93.117, which is associated with the Preventive Medicine and Public Health Residency Training Program and related integrative medicine and coordinating activities. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement compared with a typical grant, such as ongoing coordination with HRSA on priorities, deliverables, dissemination, and performance expectations.

For access issues or submission support, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with help available through the HRSA Call Center at 877-464-4772 or by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
