Description
This grant program is designed to expand Indiana’s physician workforce by funding the development of new medical residency programs at both new and existing Graduate Medical Education (GME) sites. The program, managed by the Graduate Medical Education Board, aims to address physician shortages—especially in primary care and critical specialties—by supporting projects that create new residency positions. Special emphasis is placed on programs serving rural and underserved regions, as well as those that use collaborative or consortium models. Grant funds may be used for personnel, travel, equipment, consulting, and other direct costs directly related to residency program development.
