On July 19, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) published two Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) notices of funding opportunities for academic year (AY) 2024-2025 and AY 2025-2026. The THCGME program provides funding for community-based ambulatory health clinics that are sponsoring institutions for primary care and dental graduate medical education programs. Tribal and Indian Health Service community health centers, federally qualified health centers, and rural health clinics are typically the recipients of these grants. The notices are available for new Teaching Health Centers or to expand current THCGME-funded programs.
In awarding these grants, HRSA prioritizes applicants who are in a Health Professional Shortage Area, in a Medically Underserved Community, or meet the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy definition of rural. The specialties eligible to receive THCGME funding are family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and geriatrics.
More application information and details about the program are available on the HRSA THCGME website.
