Opportunity Summary:
The Graduate Psychology Education (GPE) Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant opportunity designed to strengthen the doctoral-level psychology workforce so more psychologists are trained and ready to meet behavioral health needs in vulnerable and underserved communities. The program is focused on improving both the classroom-based training (didactic education) and the real-world clinical training pipeline (pre-doctoral, or "pre degree," internships), with a strong expectation that training prepares students to work where access gaps are greatest. For this funding opportunity, vulnerable and underserved populations are broadly defined and include groups such as people in rural communities, children and adolescents, older adults, victims of abuse, individuals with chronic illness or disabilities, returning veterans, active-duty military members and their families, and tribal populations.
A central theme of the GPE Program is that psychology training should match the realities of modern health care delivery. The announcement emphasizes that students should experience a smooth transition from theory to practice, and that universities and internship sites should actively coordinate rather than operate in isolation. In practical terms, psychology schools are expected to build ongoing, two-way relationships with clinical training settings, using internship-site expertise to shape curricula and instructional design. Internship programs, in turn, must show how trainees are applying updated models of care and new concepts directly in their clinical work. Another required feature is interprofessional training: under the Public Health Service Act authority cited in the announcement, GPE-funded projects must be implemented in collaboration with two or more medical or behavioral health disciplines, reinforcing team-based care and integrated service delivery.
Applicants must align their proposal with one of two program purposes. The first purpose, Education and Training Program Content and Design, is aimed at American Psychological Association (APA) accredited psychology schools and programs that provide doctoral education (particularly clinical and/or counseling psychology). Funding under this track supports strengthening didactic training so students gain the competencies needed to serve underserved populations, including skills related to integrated behavioral health and primary care, prevention, and public health. Grant funds may be used for faculty development, curriculum redesign, instructional design improvements, content enhancements, and related program infrastructure, with an explicit expectation that schools consult and incorporate input from pre-doctoral internship partners.
The second purpose, Experiential Learning for Psychology Students and Graduates, targets pre-doctoral internship training and is open to state and local governments and other appropriate public or private nonprofit entities that operate or support these internships. This track encourages innovative internship development and expansion, with an emphasis on increasing the number of doctoral students who can access high-quality clinical training experiences focused on underserved populations. Projects are expected to incorporate interprofessional practice models and to highlight integration of behavioral health into primary care and public health settings. Funding may support psychology interns directly as well as the supervision and training structures required to expand and improve internship experiences. Internship applicants must clearly describe how trainees will put newer care paradigms into practice during their placements, not just learn about them academically.
Across both tracks, the program is driven by a set of workforce and system goals: increasing the number of doctoral graduates each year who have training and internship experience serving vulnerable and underserved populations; building and delivering interprofessional behavioral health training in underserved communities; promoting clinical practice that integrates behavioral health, primary care, and public health; expanding experiential training capacity by increasing internship slots or strengthening existing placements; and ultimately increasing the number of doctoral-level psychologists who go on to work in organizations that serve vulnerable and underserved groups.
The funding opportunity (HRSA-13-199) is a discretionary grant in the health category, with an expected 20 awards and an award ceiling of $190,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants include APA-accredited psychology schools and programs with doctoral programs in clinical and/or counseling psychology, as well as state and local governments and other appropriate public or private nonprofit entities serving vulnerable and underserved populations. The announcement also references a Medically Underserved Community (MUC) funding preference authorized by Section 791 of the Public Health Service Act. To be considered for that preference, applicants must explicitly request it in the specified application attachment, meet the MUC requirements, and score competitively (ranking above the 20th percentile among applications recommended for approval) according to the review criteria described in the funding announcement.
Administrative details indicate the opportunity was posted in December 2012 with a closing date of February 8, 2013, and later archived in April 2013. The official listing includes CFDA 93.191 (Graduate Psychology Education Program and Patient Navigator and Chronic Disease Prevention Program). Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center via phone or email, and the opportunity was hosted through the HRSA grants portal at the provided link.
