Ohio Council of Medical School Deans
In 2008, the Ohio Council of Medical School Deans, with support from The Ohio State University, started GRC. The Council supports the collaboration and work of all seven of Ohio’s Colleges of Medicine. GRC is a part of the Council and enhances collaboration between the Deans and their government relations staff.
Medicaid Technical Assistance & Policy Program
The Medicaid Technical Assistance and Policy Program (MedTAPP) is a state-university partnership led by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM). MedTAPP utilizes the academic expertise found across Ohio’s colleges of medicine and both public and private universities to enhance healthcare quality for nearly three million Ohioans insured through Medicaid.
In SFY 2025, ODM and other state agencies committed over $34 million in project funding aimed at improving the health care of Ohio’s Medicaid members. Projects funded through MedTAPP focus on research, quality improvement, and workforce development targeting the Medicaid population. The GRC serves as the administrator of MedTAPP, providing project development, management, data analysis and visualization, and financial administration.
MedTAPP Inventory
Join our online community of academic and clinical experts to provide technical assistance and consultation to the Ohio Medicaid Program. Academic faculty, staff, and clinical professionals are encouraged to join the MedTAPP Inventory as experts in their field to inform and advise MedTAPP projects. ODM and the GRC searches the database to identify potential research and evaluation partners in areas such as maternal, infant, and family health, behavioral health and substance use disorder, chronic conditions, and Medicaid population assessments.
By joining, you will become part of a statewide network of academic partners, sponsors, and providers who are making a difference in the lives of Ohioans. Additionally, you may have opportunities to share your findings and contribute to academic publishing, furthering the impact of your work and advancing healthcare quality for Medicaid members. You can receive notices of funding opportunities and can upload documents like CVs and resumes, facilitating seamless collaboration and engagement with the Ohio Medicaid Program.
