The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) will soon be accepting the next round of applications from California residency programs seeking grant funding for new or existing resident positions.

The 2015-2016 California State Budget allocated $6 million to expand OSHPD's Song-Brown Program to create more residency slots in the state and to open the program to all primary care specialties (family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics-gynecology and pediatrics).

The next application cycle will open on April 26, 2016. All accredited residency programs interested in applying for primary care residency funding, should visit the Song-Brown website for additional information. Applications are due June 3, 2016, by 3 p.m.

The Song-Brown program is also seeking subject matter experts to join an application review panel for the granting process. The program is looking for variety of health care professionals, including residents and students. Providers may be asked to review up to 15 applications. The deadline to apply for the application review panel is July 15, 2016.
