Purpose

The Primary Care Training and Enhancement: Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care Program (Short Title: IBHPC) provides grants for innovative training programs that integrate behavioral healthcare into primary care, particularly in rural and underserved settings, with a special emphasis on the treatment of opioid use disorder.

Program objectives include:

  1. Enhance primary care training in integrated behavioral health and primary care and advance primary care clinical training sites using the Framework for Levels of Integrated Healthcare
  2. Initiate new or enhance existing training in opioid and other substance use disorders, including clinical experiences in opioid and other substance use disorders, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), and enhancements to the clinical training sites and faculty development as needed
  3. Develop and implement a systematic approach to improve trainee and provider wellness

There are two types of projects.

  • Single projects:
    Activities targeting at least one training level (student, resident, faculty development, and practicing primary care physician or physician assistant) or at least one primary care profession (physician or physician assistant)
  • Collaborative projects:
    Activities targeting at least two training levels and at least two primary care professions (primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dentists, mental health providers, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals)

Applicants should be committed to developing a diverse and inclusive health workforce that reflects the populations they serve, and applicants are encouraged to provide interprofessional education and practice.
