• Emory Healthcare (including the Emory Clinic, Emory Specialty Associates, and the Emory Healthcare Network)

Activities eligible for funding include, but are not limited to:

Any Emory University learner (students, residents, or fellows) may apply.

The PCC grant funding line provides $12,000 each fiscal year in grants of up to $3000 to support any Emory-affiliated project that involves research, quality improvement, advocacy, or education in support of advancements in primary care. Project topics may center around patient safety, innovations in healthcare delivery, addressing disparities in healthcare, etc.  Determination of funding will assess the degree by which the proposed program can broadly advance primary care advancement in the future. Any Emory student, resident physician, or faculty member (including VA faculty with an Emory appointment) may apply
