Project Grant T9155489

Great Salt Plains Health Center received a $267,790 Project Grant award effective March 1, 2026, through the Bureau of Health Professionals under the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Payment Program (CFDA 93.530). The award supports the establishment of a new Family Medicine residency program based at GSP Health's East Enid Ambulatory Clinic in Enid, Oklahoma, a medically underserved area. This three-year award (concluding June 30, 2029) provides GME funding to train primary care residents in a community-based ambulatory care setting, with the program anticipated to receive Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation in October 2024.

The residency program will serve a patient population with significant health disparities, including high rates of poverty, uninsured individuals, and racial and ethnic minorities. By supporting this community-based medical residency training initiative, the award advances the THCGME program's objective to expand primary care medical residency training in ambulatory settings and develop a healthcare workforce prepared to address the needs of underserved communities. GSP Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center, operates in partnership with the Osteopathic Medical Education Consortium of Oklahoma as its sponsoring institution.
