Opportunity Summary:
The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-029) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to strengthen the primary care workforce by paying for graduate medical education (GME) training that happens in community-based settings. Instead of focusing residency training primarily in large hospitals, this opportunity is aimed at expanding training in community-based ambulatory primary care sites such as health centers, where residents are exposed to the real-world needs of underserved communities and where many are more likely to practice after graduation.
At its core, the program provides THCGME payments to support either (1) the expansion of existing approved residency training programs or (2) the creation of new approved residency programs, as long as the training is based in community settings. The funding is meant to help cover the practical costs of operating residency programs outside of traditional hospital environments. This includes both direct expenses (costs that are clearly tied to training, such as resident salaries and benefits, faculty supervision time, training administration, and other hands-on educational costs) and indirect expenses (broader operational and overhead-type costs that support training activities, such as increased patient care infrastructure needs, administrative burden, and other institutional costs that come with hosting residents).
Eligibility is targeted and tied to accreditation status. Applicants must be qualified teaching health centers that are listed as sponsoring institutions by the relevant accrediting body and are seeking to expand an existing approved program or establish a new approved graduate medical residency training program. The eligible applicant categories listed include a range of public and nonprofit entities, including state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The key practical point is that eligibility hinges on being a qualified teaching health center recognized as a sponsoring institution for an approved residency program by the appropriate accreditor.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making about 30 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $16,500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a set amount of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.530, identified as the Affordable Care Act Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Payments Program.
The original posting date for the opportunity was September 6, 2011, with an application closing date of October 11, 2011, and an archive date of December 9, 2011. While those dates indicate this specific announcement cycle is long closed, the summary still reflects the program purpose and structure described in the notice: building and sustaining community-based residency capacity in primary care by making direct and indirect GME payments to qualified teaching health centers.
For applicants or readers who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, HRSA directed inquiries to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone numbers (877-464-4772 and 301-998-7373). The announcement also included an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal.
