Authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine at historically Black colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions.
Aims to increase enrollment of medical students by at least 5% each year compared to the previous year.
Grants can be used for tuition, student fees, faculty recruitment and retention, equipment costs, and clinical training.
Encourages graduates to serve as primary care physicians in medically underserved areas, including rural and Tribal communities.
Eligible entities include accredited schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine at minority-serving institutions, those with agreements to enroll students from such institutions, and those with agreements to provide education for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students.
Requires eligible entities to submit applications detailing plans for sustaining increased enrollment after grant funds expire.
Each eligible entity must receive a minimum grant of $1,000,000 per year for a 5-year period, disbursed in annual increments.
Grants will be distributed evenly among various categories of eligible entities.
A matching requirement of 25% of the total grant amount is imposed on each eligible entity, with the possibility of waiving up to 80% of this requirement.
Annual reporting is required from grant recipients on activities, student enrollment, and use of funds.
The Secretary must submit a report to Congress assessing the effectiveness of the program and summarizing outcomes and best practices within two years of the first grants being awarded.
Authorizes $60,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2030 to fund the program.
Ensures that the program does not duplicate efforts of other federal programs.
