Existing law establishes the Office of Science, Innovation and Technology in the Office of the Governor and requires the Director of the Office to implement the Graduate Medical Education Grant Program. (NRS 223.600, 223.610) Existing law: (1) requires the Office to establish and administer the Program to award grants to institutions in this State seeking to create, expand or retain programs for residency training and postdoctoral fellowships for physicians; (2) creates the Account for the Graduate Medical Education Grant Program, administered by the Director; and (3) creates the Advisory Council on Graduate Medical Education to evaluate applications and make recommendations for such grants. (NRS 223.631-223.639) Sections 3-7 of this bill transfer the Advisory Council and the duties to administer the Program and the Account from the Office to the Department of Health and Human Services. Sections 1.5 and 2 of this bill make conforming changes to remove the Program and the Advisory Council from the duties required to be performed by the Director. Section 1 of this bill prohibits an institution that receives a grant through the Program from eliminating or reducing the size of a program for residency training and postdoctoral fellowships without the approval of the Department. Sections 3 and 6 expand the grants that may be made from the Account under the Program to include grants to institutions which operate programs for residency training that are training a number of residents that exceeds the number of full-time equivalent residents for which the institution receives certain payments from Medicare. Section 6 authorizes the Department to award limited grants to assist in building administrative and operational capacity for a new program for residency training and postdoctoral fellowships and recruiting personnel essential to the operation of such a program. Section 6 also establishes the criteria for prioritizing the awarding of grants. Section 7.7 of this bill requires the Department, in collaboration with the Advisory Council, to explore ways to use federal financial participation in Medicaid to support programs for residency training and postdoctoral fellowships. Section 7.3 makes a conforming change to require the Director of the Department to administer section 7.7 in the same manner as other provisions governing Medicaid. Section 8 of this bill makes an appropriation to the Account for the Program.
