Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
The purpose of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is to enhance the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of health services, and access to such services through the establishment of a broad base of scientific research and through the promotion of improvements in clinical and health system practice. AHRQ invests in research that generates evidence, tools and strategies for frontline clinicians to deliver high-quality, safe, high-value healthcare. AHRQ also uses data and analytics to help healthcare decision makers understand how the US healthcare system is working and where there are opportunities for improvement
American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) - Fellowship Directory
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) maintains a database of fellowships in a variety of disciplines that are available for family medicine graduates. Fellowship programs are searchable by location, program type, community setting, and duration.
Area Health Education Centers (AHEC)
The Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) program was developed to recruit, train, and retain a health professions workforce committed to underserved populations. The AHEC program helps bring the resources of academic medicine to address local community health needs. The purpose of the AHEC program is to meet the needs of the communities they serve through robust community-academic partnerships, with a focus on exposure, education, and training of the current and future health care workforce, such as the development of an AHEC Scholars program.
Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program
The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program supports a national network of medical institutions that speeds the translation of research discoveries into improved care. Currently, more than 60 leading medical institutions across the nation receive CTSA Program funding. The institutions offer expertise, resources and partnerships at the national and local levels to improve the health of individuals and communities. The CTSA Program also nurtures the field of translational science through education, training and career support at all levels. Learn more about the advantages of working with your local CTSA
Family Physicians Inquiries Network (FPIN)
Family Physicians Inquiries Network (FPIN) is a nonprofit membership organization offering scholarship, quality education, and professional development opportunities for students, residents, faculty, and fellows in primary care, with a focus on evidence-based medicine.
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) supports translational research and fostering collaborations among academic institutions that will improve the efficiency, quality and impact of the process for improving human health. A key goal in translational science is to transform the way research is done, making it faster, more efficient and more impactful. NCATS has information and resources for researchers to connect with staff, view funding opportunities and learn more about research activities.
National Institute for Health (NIH) - Research and Training
The National Institute for Health’s (NIH) mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability.NIH works to turn scientific discoveries into better health for all. As the largest public funder of biomedical and behavioral research in the world, NIH is the driving force behind decades of advances that improve health, revolutionize science, and serve society more broadly.
Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER)
The Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research’s (CIMER) aspiration is to improve mentoring relationships for trainees and mentors at all career stages and disciplines through the development, implementation and study of evidence-based and culturally-responsive interventions.
National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN)
The National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) Provides researchers across all career stages in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences with the evidence-based mentorship and professional development programming that emphasizes the benefits and challenges of diversity, inclusivity and culture.
this is not an exhaustive list of all opportunities available
BRC provides opportunities for all departments and residency programs (and the individuals within them) to engage family medicine leaders, researchers and each other. Mutually beneficial interactions under the BRC umbrella build research capacity along with the actual accomplishment of published and presented research and scholarship.

The mission of CASFM is to promote and actively contribute scholarship that advances the science of family medicine for the betterment of patients and their communities. It assures that the development, translation, and implementation of new knowledge rapidly becomes part of the fabric of family medicine through internally led writing initiatives such as white papers and manuscripts. CASFM has six work groups:
GGP seeks to equip family medicine and primary care researchers with the skills they need to successfully develop and submit grants for research funding. Once learned, these skills continue to help generate new funds for family medicine research and training, year after year.

The goal of the Survey School Fellowship is to build capacity in research that uses survey methodology. The Fellowship includes opportunities for:
- Learning about survey research methodology and best practices in questionnaire item design
- Deliberate practice in developing research questions and relevant survey items
- Mentorship to support Fellows in developing competence in survey methodology
By the end of the Fellowship, each Fellow will have created a research proposal that uses survey methodology, including a set of questionnaire items designed according to best practices.
The Fellowship takes place over one full year, with three in-person educational sessions. These sessions are held in conjunction with the NAPCRG and STFM annual meetings, as follows:
- Session 1 at NAPCRG (Fall)
- Session 2 at STFM (Spring)
- Session 3 at NAPCRG (Following Fall)
