§  902.  Grants  for primary care undergraduate medical education.  1.
The commissioner, in collaboration with the commissioner  of  education,
is   authorized,   within  amounts  available  pursuant  to  subdivision
nineteen-a of section twenty-eight hundred seven-c of this  chapter,  to
make  grants  to  medical  schools located in New York state in order to
enhance the study of primary care, to  increase  the  opportunities  for
undergraduate medical education in primary care at community-based sites
and encourage the training of primary care physicians.
  2.  Grant proceeds may be used for faculty development; costs incurred
teaching medical students at community-based sites, including,  but  not
limited  to,  personnel,  administration,  and student-related expenses;
expansion or development of programs that train primary care physicians;
and other innovative programs designed to increase the number of medical
students choosing primary care.
  3. Such grants shall be awarded on a competitive basis in amounts  not
to   exceed   five  hundred  thousand  dollars  through  a  request  for
application process. In making awards, consideration shall be  given  to
applicants who:
  (a) apply in collaboration with community-based providers;
  (b)  make complementary efforts to enhance their curriculum in primary
care;
  (c) make complementary efforts to recruit qualified faculty in primary
care education;
  (d) make complementary efforts to reduce the  percentage  of  students
graduating in non-primary care specialties; and
  (e)  make  complementary efforts to match such award from funds raised
through non-public sources.
  4. The intent of this program is to augment or increase  primary  care
undergraduate  medical  training.  Grant  funding  shall  not be used to
offset existing expenditures that the medical school  has  obligated  or
intends to obligate for primary care training programs.
