Description
The Site-Based Clinical Training Grant Program supports clinical health care training in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Health’s Office of Rural Health and Primary Care administers the program, which was authorized under Minnesota Statutes Section 144.1508 and first funded in fiscal year 2024. Funding is directed to training at clinical sites.
For fiscal year 2027, the Commissioner’s priorities are rural primary care and oral health at both rural and urban sites. The program is closely aligned with the Medical Education and Research Costs (MERC) program. Award determination combines eligibility criteria, a formula, and the Commissioner’s priorities, using completed clinical training rather than proposals for future training.
