Funding
With the increased emphasis on strengthening and improving the health care workforce, PA educators will want to be familiar with funding opportunities including federal grants, foundation grants, and fellowship opportunities. Here you will find summaries of available grants and (coming soon) tips from veteran PA educators on writing successful grant applications.
If you find information on grants or fellowships that would advance PA educators and PA education, please feel free to forward them to the Athena Abdullah, PAEA Director, Government Relations, aabdullah@PAEAonline.org; (703)548-5538, ext. 303.

HRSA
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awards grants through the Title VII, Section 747, Training in Primary Care Medicine and Dentistry grant program, to improve the quality of primary care training for physician assistant students. PA education programs have been able to use this competitive grant funding to increase innovation and develop new curricular modules/courses. With the new administration’s increased emphasis on primary care and bipartisan support for health workforce enhancement and improvement in Congress, grant funding opportunities for Title VII primary care training are expected to increase.
