Note: Year 1 closes at the end of the month, and our scrapers are turning up details all over the place.
In this issue:
California opens the UCI CalRHT TNT, iHOPE and MBH Fellowship Application
Delaware puts more than $1 million into two first-year medical student awards and an expected 61 GME housing and relocation awards
Montana names the 17 rural EMS agencies splitting $3.63 million in DPHHS Community Integrated Health Pilot Site Grants
West Virginia awards WVU Health more than $3.4 million, including one of its two $900,000 rotational staffing pools
Maryland awards $3.58 million in Postharvest Infrastructure Grants to 37 farms, watermen and a school board, more than double the $1.6 million it posted
California opens the UCI CalRHT TNT, iHOPE and MBH Fellowship Application
HCAI added a Submittable link to the CalRHT funding page on October 19. Behind it are two Train New Trainers programs run with UC Irvine’s Office of Medical Education:
UCI iHOPE Fellowship — geriatric behavioral health, aimed at primary care providers
UCI MBH Fellowship — maternal behavioral health
Here’s the eligibility language from the form:
Eligible participants include, but are not limited to, DOs, MDs, NPs, PAs, and PharmDs.
To be eligible for participation, individuals must practice in rural facilities or serve rural communities in California.
Rurality follows the HRSA definition. The form offers a scholarship to applicants who meet minimum requirements, but prints no amount, no cohort dates and no close date. Questions go to info@calruralhealth.org or (855) 225-7487.
When we tallied California’s unreleased grant lines August 21, train-the-trainer was $2 million with no opportunity behind it. As far as I can tell, this is that line arriving.
Delaware puts more than $1 million into two first-year medical student awards and an expected 61 GME housing and relocation awards
CMS announced the Delaware figures October 14. Here’s the release:
This transformational funding will deliver two educational awards to eligible medical students in the program’s first year and funding for an expected 61 housing and relocation awards for eligible applicants in graduate medical education programs. Recipients will commit to five years of practice in rural Delaware, with at least 50% of their practice serving qualified rural areas.
No recipients, no institutions, no per-award amounts, and no grantee list on the state side yet. That is the shape of the whole CMS series: the funder supplies the dollar figure and the count, and the names come from the state later or not at all.
The medical student awards tie back to the centerpiece of Delaware’s plan, its first in-state medical school, which we laid out in our Delaware deep dive June 23.
