Opportunity Summary:

The Children s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program (CHGME Payment Program) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to address a long standing imbalance in federal support for pediatric physician training. In practical terms, the program exists because many freestanding children s teaching hospitals do not receive Medicare graduate medical education payments in the same way that adult teaching hospitals typically do, since children s hospitals generally treat far fewer Medicare patients. CHGME provides federal payments to help offset that gap so these hospitals can continue to train residents and support the infrastructure required to operate accredited graduate medical education programs focused on pediatric care.

This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 12 007, with the program listed under CFDA 93.255 (Childrens Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program). The award mechanism is a grant, and it falls under the health funding activity category. HRSA anticipated making about 56 awards under this cycle, with an estimated total funding amount of 301,457,542. The announcement was posted on May 12, 2011, created on June 9, 2011, and had an original closing date of June 12, 2011 that was later extended to June 15, 2011. The opportunity was archived on August 14, 2011. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility is limited and highly specific, reflecting that the program is intended for a particular class of institutions rather than a broad range of health care or academic entities. Applicants must be children s teaching hospitals and must meet all listed criteria: they must participate in an approved graduate medical education program; they must have a Medicare payment agreement as defined in section 340E(g)(2) of the Public Health Service Act; they must be excluded from the Medicare inpatient prospective payment system (PPS) under section 1886(d)(1)(B)(iii) of the Social Security Act and related regulations; and they must be freestanding children s hospitals. In other words, the program targets independent pediatric hospitals that train physicians but are structurally outside the typical Medicare hospital payment framework that supports much of adult hospital GME financing.

For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal. Technical assistance for accessing the announcement was routed through the HRSA Call Center, reachable by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and by phone at 877 464 4772 (877 Go4 HRSA), with an alternate number listed as 301 998 7373.
