Who can apply: Per statute, funds must be awarded to public institutions of higher education in states in the top quintile of states with a projected primary care provider shortage in 2025. HRSA has determined that the eligible applicants for this funding opportunity are limited to accredited public colleges of medicine in Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana. The “State-Level Projections of Supply and Demand for Primary Care Practitioners: 2013-2025” indicate there are 37 states with a shortage in 2025.13 The top quintile of 37 states is 7.4. However, because the difference in adequacy scores between the seventh and eighth position was less than one percentage point, HRSA made a decision to include the top eight states: Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana. HRSA then identified accredited Osteopathic and Allopathic medical schools in those eight states using the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), selecting only those that identified as public, non-profit colleges of medicine. This resulted in 12 public, non-profit colleges of medicine within the eight states that are potentially eligible for MSE funding. HRSA has identified the following accredited public colleges of medicine in these eight states in the table below.
