## What the grant funds

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Primary Care Training and Enhancement-Language and Disability Access (PCTE-LDA) program.

The program has two focus areas: Focus Area: Language Assistance for Individuals with LEP Supports individuals with LEP by training primary care medical students, physician assistant students, or medical residents to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health information and services.

Medical students would be required to participate in a minimum two-week clinical rotation.
