Description
This grant program supports the expansion of medical residency positions at existing and new Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs across Indiana. Administered by the Indiana Graduate Medical Education Board, the initiative aims to increase the number of residency slots—especially in Family Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Psychiatry, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, and Internal Medicine—with a focus on rural and underserved regions. Funding is intended for direct resident costs (compensation, benefits, and professional liability insurance). The program encourages collaborative, consortium-based proposals and supports both new and recently established training programs. A 25% match (cash or in-kind) is required from awardees.
