New Funding Opportunity: Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program HRSA-25-091

July 25, 2024

New Funding Opportunity: Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program HRSA-25-091

The purpose of the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program is to support the training of residents in primary care residency training programs in community-based ambulatory patient care centers.

These residency programs will prepare residents to provide high-quality care, particularly in rural and underserved communities, and develop competencies to serve these diverse populations and communities.

This funding will support both the direct expenses associated with sponsoring approved graduate medical residency training programs and indirect expenses associated with the additional costs relating to teaching residents in residency training programs.

Two types of awards are available:

  • Expansion awards for an increased number of resident Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions at existing HRSA THCGME Programs
  • New awards to support new resident FTE positions at new Teaching Health Centers (THCs). New THCs are those applicants seeking funding for residency programs that have never received payment under the HRSA THCGME Program for the applicable residency program in any previous fiscal year.

You can apply if you are a community-based ambulatory patient care center that operates an accredited primary care center that operates an accredited primary care residency program, or has formed a GME consortium that operates an accredited primary care residency program, in one of the following specialties/disciplines:

  • Family medicine
  • Internal medicine
  • Pediatrics
  • Internal medicine pediatrics
  • Obstetrics and gynecology
  • Psychiatry
  • General dentistry
  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Geriatrics

Applications due September 5, 2024 11:59 p.m. ET
