HRSA’s Bureau of Health Workforce is offering the Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program grant. This grant is for compensating freestanding children’s teaching hospitals, which historically receive minimal federal Graduate Medical Education (GME) funding compared to adult-focused teaching hospitals. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) primarily allocates GME funds to institutions serving adult patients, leaving children’s hospitals with a low Medicare caseload significantly underfunded in this area. This CHGME Payment Program aims to rectify this disparity, ensuring equitable federal support for the vital medical education provided by children’s hospitals nationwide.

| Description: | This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education (CHGME) Payment Program. 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). |
