Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program

About the program

Funding Opportunity Number: HRSA-20-011
Dates to Apply: 06/13/2019 to 09/05/2019
Bureau/Office: Bureau of Health Workforce
Status: Closed
Estimated Award Date: 07/01/2020
The purpose of the THCGME Program is to support the training of residents in new or expanded primary care residency training programs in community-based ambulatory patient care centers. 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. Two award types are available: 1. Continuation awards will be made for the maintenance of Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) filled resident positions at existing HRSA THCGME Programs. 2. New awards will be made to support new resident full-time equivalent (FTE) positions at new Teaching Health Centers (THCs), as funding permits. New THCs are those applicants that have never received payment under the HRSA THCGME Program for the applicable residency program in any previous fiscal year (FY).
