Guidelines
Applications must be received at least two weeks before your event.
Alliances are eligible for one HPPG award per calendar year.
HPPG Program Objectives
- Fund projects that increase AMA Alliance visibility in a positive and proactive way
- Fund projects that help put AMA Alliance policy into action by providing information or a service of value to your community
- Fund projects that will provide opportunities for ongoing involvement in a discussion of topics that are important to the family of medicine
Apply Before Your Event
Required Information
- Completed HPPG application, including description of program, description of how the program will promote AMA Alliance and county and state Alliance visibility, relevant AMA Alliance policy, and complete budget information.
- Alliance members will be notified of applications that are incomplete. All incomplete applications must be completed within two weeks of notification of missing information or they will not be considered.
- Grant applications must be submitted at least two weeks prior to the planned activity. Applications received for events occurring within two weeks of or after the event will not be considered.
How Will Projects Be Evaluated
Involve Your RPS/MSS Members and Medical Society
Alliances are strongly encouraged to include the spouses of resident physicians and medical students and medical society members in their projects. Both groups can be a great source of ideas and support for Alliance projects.
Note About Grant Awards
Although applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, it can still take several weeks for an application to be approved, a check processed, and mailed to the project coordinator. Please plan ahead when requesting program funding.
Also keep in mind that Alliances are limited to one grant award per calendar year and funding is never guaranteed. Coordinate with others in your Alliance to make sure things go smoothly.
