  • Congressional offices have begun releasing deadlines for FY26 Community Project Funding (CPF) requests in the House.
  • While guidance has not yet been released by the House Appropriations Committee, colleges of osteopathic medicine (COMs) are encouraged to consider submitting a CPF request. These requests (aka earmarks) can support healthcare, education and other allowable investments subject to the guidelines provided by the House.
  • COMs should check with their House members for participation and eligibility requirements and deadlines.
  • A submitted request does not guarantee funding, but many COMs have received funding over the years so don’t miss this opportunity!
