Grants to USA community-based patient-care centers to promote health-based residencies that support professional development. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take up to several weeks to complete. Funding is intended to create and develop accredited primary care residency programs within the sub-categories of pediatrics, internal medicine, family medicine, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and geriatrics. The goal of the grant program is to address the physician workforce shortages and challenges faced by rural and underserved communities. THCPD funding may be used to support the development of new residency programs only.
The purpose of this grant program is to make awards to establish new accredited community-based primary care medical or dental residency programs and residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, or geriatrics to address shortages in the primary care physician and dental workforce shortages and challenges faced by in rural and underserved communities.
This NOFO will support the establishment of approved graduate medical and dental residency training programs for physicians and dentists.
This program aims to increase primary care physician and dental residency training in community-based patient care settings by providing funds to support the development of new programs in these settings, which are often located in underserved areas where resources may not be easily attainable. As such, THCPD funding may only be utilized to support the development of new physician and dental accredited residency programs within the disciplines listed above and throughout this NOFO.
The goal for the THCPD program is for each recipient to establish a new community-based residency program that is accredited by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or the American Dental Association’s Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and has a strong sustainability plan for a stable future financial outlook by the end of the period of performance. All THCPD program recipients should be capable of effectively training physician and/or dentist residents to practice in and meet the clinical needs of rural and underserved populations. As a result, the proportion of graduates from these programs entering careers in practices primarily serving rural and underserved populations is expected to markedly exceed that seen in other residency training programs.
Funds provided through the THCPD program may be used to support the costs of establishing community-based residency program. This includes costs associated with curriculum development; recruitment, training and retention of residents and faculty; resident stipends (after accreditation has been achieved) for a period of up to one year during the 2-year period of performance; accreditation by the ACGME or CODA; and faculty salaries during the development phase.
