Federal Grant Award Summary

New York University School of Medicine received a $499,978 Project Grant award effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Health Professionals under the Primary Care Training and Enhancement (PCTE) program (CFDA 93.884). The award supports the development and implementation of a comprehensive street medicine curriculum and training program designed to prepare primary care residents for careers serving medically underserved communities with high concentrations of people experiencing homelessness (PEH).

The institution will deliver enhanced training infrastructure and educational services through three core mechanisms: (1) expansion of clinical rotations in homeless healthcare, including Street Medicine Mobile Van, Safety Net Clinic, and Safety Net Consult Service rotations, increasing annual resident participation from 1-2 to 16 residents; (2) development of a longitudinal homeless care curriculum integrated into the existing primary care residency program with supporting faculty development; and (3) integration of community partnerships and site visits to provide residents with exposure to interdisciplinary care models, policy issues, and community resources. The project will be led by experienced internal medicine physicians and clinical leaders supported by an expanded multidisciplinary homeless healthcare faculty.
