Opportunity Summary:
The Primary Care Residency Expansion grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-10-277) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Affordable Care Act authority (CFDA 93.510). It is based on Title VII, Section 747 of the Public Health Service Act, which is focused on strengthening the nations access to well-trained primary care physicians by supporting residency training. The core aim of this opportunity is straightforward: increase the number of physicians trained in primary care by expanding the number of residency slots in key primary care disciplines.
The program specifically targets three primary care specialties: family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics. Grant funds are narrowly restricted in how they can be used. Award dollars may only support expansion of enrollment in an accredited primary care residency program, and the allowed expense is resident stipend support tied to those new positions. In other words, the funding is meant to pay for additional residents (new slots) rather than broader program costs, infrastructure, or unrelated training activities.
Eligible applicants include public hospitals and nonprofit private hospitals, schools of medicine, schools of osteopathic medicine, and other public or private nonprofit entities as long as the Secretary determines they are capable of carrying out the grant. A key requirement is accreditation: to receive grant funds, the applicant or a partner organization must operate an accredited residency program in family medicine, general internal medicine, and/or general pediatrics. Acceptable accrediting bodies are the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). Applicants must provide a statement confirming their accreditation and identify the accrediting body and the date of accreditation for verification; however, submitting the actual accreditation letter is not required.
Applications are limited to one residency program or discipline per application, meaning an organization cannot bundle multiple primary care residency disciplines into a single submission under this announcement. HRSA anticipated making about 105 awards with an estimated total funding level of $168,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally makes participation more feasible for organizations that want to expand residency positions without committing additional required matching funds.
This opportunity was posted June 17, 2010, with an application deadline of July 19, 2010, and it was archived on September 17, 2010. For applicants who needed help accessing the announcement or had technical issues, HRSA directed them to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone contact options. The full announcement and details were made available through HRSA grants posting channels via the listed additional information link.
