archived

Funds may be used to establish, maintain, or improve academic units, which may be departments, divisions, or other units, or programs that improve clinical teaching and research in the fields of family medicine, general internal medicine, and/or general pediatrics. Accredited schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine are the only eligible entities. Funds also may be used to establish, maintain or improve programs that integrate academic administrative units in the fields of family medicine, general internal medicine, and/or general pediatrics to enhance interdisciplinary recruitment, training, and faculty development. Funds may be used to plan, develop, and operate a program for the training of physicians teaching in community-based settings. There is a funding preference unique to the academic administrative units program. Qualified applicants may request a preference if they agree to expend the funds for the purpose of establishing academic administrative units or programs in the fields of family medicine, general internal medicine, and/or general pediatrics; or substantially expanding such units or programs.
