This program is no longer active. No grant awards have been issued since September 2002. The program historically supported increasing the supply of physician faculty to teach family medicine and faculty development in primary care, as evidenced by award descriptions in the recent-awards block. Award activity peaked sharply in 2001 with 133 grants, followed by 37 grants in 2002, then ceased entirely.

The portfolio consists of 193 total awards spanning 1977 through 2002, with combined federal dollars obligated at $21.4 million. The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service funded 161 awards representing $22 million in federal dollars obligated; a smaller Department of Health and Human Services sub-unit issued 32 awards with negative obligated dollars, indicating de-obligations or adjustments. Funding concentration among agencies was complete—only two funding entities participated across the program's history.

The assistance-type distribution was predominantly Project Grants (163 awards, 84 percent) with a significant Block Grant component (30 awards, 16 percent). Representative recent awards from 2002 included Project Grant 00000D41HP20002 for $322 thousand and Project Grant 00000U78HP00014 for $400 thousand, each obligating a year or less of performance time through mid-2003. Earlier 2001 awards such as Project Grant 41HP20002A00000 ($80 thousand) and Project Grant 45PE50002A00000 ($99 thousand) followed similar 12-month performance cycles. Block Grant awards supporting faculty development in primary care such as D14HP00084 ($259 thousand de-obligated) spanned multi-year periods of three to four years.
