Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) # 58825001 is to solicit applications that will enable the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (referred to as Agency) to select the most qualified applicant(s) who submit quality plans compliant with this RFP to establish or expand medical residency training programs or submit requests compliant with this RFP for medical residency liability cost reimbursement. Applicants may apply for both types of funding if they fulfill the RFP requirements for each type of funding. The Medical Residency Training State Matching Grants Program, based on Iowa Code 135.176, was established to provide greater access to health care by increasing the number of practicing physicians in Iowa through the expansion of residency positions in Iowa. The Agency shall provide funding to sponsors of accredited graduate medical education residency programs for the establishment or expansion of medical residency training programs that will increase the number of residents trained. 2019 House File 532, Section 1 included additional criteria for preference in awarding applicants of this Funding Opportunity. Applicants who demonstrate how their residency candidates are residents of Iowa, attended and earned an undergraduate degree from an Iowa college or university, or attended and earned a medical degree from a medical school in Iowa will be considered for preference in awarding grants within the Medical Residency Training State Matching Grants Program, along with the previous preference in the residency specialty. Section 2 adds a requirement that the residency program offers residency participants the opportunity to participate in a rural rotation to expose the resident to the rural areas of the state. This RFP uses these additional criteria in the selection process. Refer to Section 4 for more details. 2020 House File 2197, Section 1 defined “primary care” as including psychiatry, obstetrics, gynecology, family medicine, internal medicine, and emergency medicine. 2021 House File 891 expanded Iowa Code section 135.176 to include medical residency liability costs as an expense for which matching grants may be awarded for a period beginning July 1, 2021 until June 30, 2026. The Agency is actively working to strengthen our capacity to address health inequities in Iowa. Health equity is defined as supporting opportunities for everyone to live the healthiest life possible through the reduction of barriers in environmental, social, economic and other conditions which impact health. This program promotes health equity by providing greater access to healthcare and exposing residents to rural areas of the state through completion of a rural rotation.
