The program goals are to:

  • Support research of value to the practicing family physician
  • Encourage proposals by junior investigators
  • Fund pilot studies

JGAP applications are accepted twice a year:
  • December 1, 2009 - For the first review cycle of 2010
  • June 1, 2010 - For the second review cycle of 2010

Special Notice: The Research Committee especially encourages submission of proposals on topics applicable to the Patient Centered Medical Home. The PCMH has been selected as a priority topic for research in 2010.
