Independent professional or graduate institutions and programs eligible for grants under subsection (a) are the following:

The Secretary shall not award more than 1 grant under this section in any fiscal year to any institution of higher education.
The president or chancellor of the institution may decide which graduate or professional school or qualified graduate program will receive funds under the grant in any 1 fiscal year, if the allocation of funds among the schools or programs is delineated in the application for funds submitted to the Secretary under this section.
Subject to subsection (g), of the amount appropriated to carry out this section for any fiscal year—

No institution that is eligible for and receives an award under section 1102a, 1136a, or 1136b of this title for a fiscal year shall be eligible to apply for a grant, or receive grant funds, under this section for the same fiscal year.
