Special Project RFAs

The Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) Council approved funds again this year to support special projects at the participating institutions.  JAMP has made significant progress in meeting the program's goal to support economically disadvantaged students pursuing a medical education but there is still much to do to ensure that current and future participants are successful.

To assist in building stronger programs the JAMP Council has approved funds to be used to support recruitment and retention of undergraduate students.   Applicants will need to submit the appropriate “Request for Application” (RFA) for one or more of the following program and initiatives.
