What information does a training site need to collect to apply for MERC Fund grants?
The training site or the teaching program must provide the sponsoring institution with the number of FTE (fulltime equivalent) trainees that train at the site. The training site must provide the sponsoring institution or teaching program with the name and address of the facility where training was completed, a billing/accounting address (when it differs from the facility address), a contact person, and the facility National Provider Identification Number (NPI) and MN Medical Assistance Identification Number (MAID). Due to statutory constraints, a site that does not supply its sponsoring institution with its identification number will not receive any funds from the MERC Fund.
