Opportunity Summary:

The Physician Faculty Development in Primary Care Program, offered under HRSA's Primary Care Training and Enhancement authority (CFDA 93.884), is a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen the pipeline of physician educators in core primary care fields. The central purpose is to support programs that prepare physicians to become faculty members and trainers in family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics, with an emphasis on improving the quality and capacity of primary care training programs. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on building the instructional workforce that trains future primary care clinicians, which can have a long-term impact on access to primary care and the overall performance of the primary care system.

Grant funds can be used to plan, develop, and operate physician faculty development programs. The announcement highlights two closely related training targets: first, programs that train physicians who intend to teach within traditional residency or other formal training programs in family medicine, general internal medicine, or general pediatrics; and second, programs that train physicians who teach in community-based settings. That community-based focus is important because much of modern primary care education occurs outside major academic medical centers, such as in community clinics, federally qualified health centers, outpatient practices, and other settings where trainees learn how primary care is delivered day to day.

Beyond supporting the structure and operations of training programs, the grant also allows the use of funds to provide direct financial assistance to participating physicians through traineeships and fellowships. This support is aimed at physicians enrolled in these faculty development efforts who plan to teach or conduct research in the targeted primary care training programs. In other words, the grant is not only about running educational activities; it also helps reduce financial barriers for physicians who are committing time to develop as educators and scholars, which can be a real constraint given clinical productivity pressures and competing demands.

Eligibility is limited to organizations with the capacity and appropriate institutional standing to run this type of training initiative. Eligible applicants include accredited public or nonprofit private hospitals, schools of allopathic medicine, schools of osteopathic medicine, and other public or private nonprofit entities that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines capable of carrying out the grant. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants are not required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although strong applications often still demonstrate institutional commitment in other ways (for example, protected faculty time, access to clinical training sites, mentoring resources, or data/evaluation support).

In the cycle reflected in the source data, HRSA anticipated making seven awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,660,000. The opportunity was posted on June 10, 2011, with a closing date of July 11, 2011, and an archive date of September 9, 2011. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health, consistent with HRSA's role in supporting the health workforce and primary care training infrastructure nationwide.

For applicants or interested parties who need the full announcement details, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal and directed questions about accessing the announcement to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support lines.
