FY2007 Graduate Psychology Education Grants

The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) recently announced the recipients of the Graduate Psychology Education Program (GPE) grants, which are administered by HRSA’s Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr).  Like most of the other programs in BHPr, the GPE program received $1.8 million flat-funding for FY 2007 in both the House and Senate Labor-Health & Human Services-Education Subcommittee bills (down from its highest level of $4.5 million in FY 2004 and 2005).  Out of 43 GPE proposals, 34 were approved for funding resulting in 18 grants being awarded for a three year period, based on score rankings until the funding ran out. These grants went to universities and medical institutions to train psychologists in mental and behavioral health to work with underserved persons in medically underserved areas.

Many of the grants will be used to provide resources for underserved ethnic minorities, mostly African American and Hispanic consumers. Some are specializing in children and adolescents while others are focusing on the family, the homeless, immigrants, or women. The grants are a mix of rural and urban settings and internship and doctoral programs. The following is a listing of GPE grants.
