List items for Primary Care Provider Loan Repayment Program
Depending on availability of funds, funding opportunities are listed in the state of Iowa's grants management system called IowaGrants. The Primary Care Provider LRP funding opportunity is released as a request for proposal (RFP) that details the expectations and requirements for completing an application. All applications are completed and submitted within the IowaGrants system. Typically the RFP is posted annually in the fall with contracts beginning the following January. However, service credit begins when the contract period starts.
Once the application period has closed, applications are reviewed and awards are issued. Only eligible candidates who successfully submit the required documents and forms are considered for an award. Additionally, eligibility criteria may also include priority designations, which are noted in the RFP.
