The Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) is offering the Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program grant to address funding disparities for freestanding children’s teaching hospitals. As Federal GME funding is primarily allocated to full-service hospitals for adults, children’s hospitals struggle with limited GME funding due to their low Medicare caseload. Administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), this grant aims to support children’s hospitals in providing quality education and training for medical professionals. Application deadline is on July 15, 2021.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | There are two categories of children’s hospitals that may be eligible for CHGME payments in FY 2022, depending on the funding appropriated to the program – “Currently Eligible Hospitals” and “Newly Qualified Hospitals.” Hospitals that are applying for the first time for the CHGME Payment Program may be hospitals that are new to the CHGME Payment Program but qualify under the “Currently Eligible Hospitals” requirements or are eligible as a “Newly Qualified Hospital.” |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Health Resources and Services Administration |
| Description: | The purpose of the CHGME Payment Program is to compensate for the disparity in the level of Federal GME funding for freestanding children’s teaching hospitals versus other types of teaching hospitals. Federal funding for graduate medical education (GME) is primarily provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and goes to full service teaching hospitals that serve primarily adult patients. Freestanding children’s hospitals receive little to no GME funding from Medicare because children’s hospitals have a low Medicare caseload. The CHGME Payment Program is administered by the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). |
