The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals awarded IBN Sina Foundation, Inc. $428,464 on March 1, 2026, under the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Payment Program (CFDA 93.530) to develop and operate a new three-year Family Medicine residency program.

The residency program is based predominantly in a community health center located in a medically underserved area of Fort Bend County, Texas, with the Sam Houston Regional Education Consortium serving as the sponsoring institution. The program will train four residents in its first year (academic year 2024–25) and reach a full cohort of twelve residents across three years, using a 4–4–4 distribution. Curriculum emphasizes community medicine, cultural competency, and health literacy to prepare graduates for primary care careers in underserved settings, with a goal of placing graduates in health centers and other underserved settings at rates exceeding the national average for family practice residencies.

Place of performance is Houston, Texas. The period of performance runs through June 30, 2026, based on the source completion date provided. IBN Sina Foundation operates as a community-based ambulatory patient center and GME consortium eligible entity.
