Final Funding Priorities for Special Project Grants to Schools of 
Public Health for Fiscal Year 1994

    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announces 
the final funding priorities for fiscal year (FY) 1994 Special Projects 
Grants to Schools of Public Health funded under the authority of 
section 762, title VII of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by 
the Health Professions Education Extension Amendments of 1992, Public 
Law 102-408, dated October 13, 1992.

Purpose

    Section 762 of the Public Health Service Act (the Act), as amended, 
authorizes the Secretary to award grants to accredited schools of 
public health for the costs of planning, developing, demonstrating, 
operating, and evaluating projects that are in furtherance of the goals 
established by the Secretary for the year 2000 in the area of:
    (1) Preventive medicine;
    (2) Health promotion and disease prevention;
    (3) Improving access to and quality of health services in medically 
underserved communities; or
    (4) Reducing the incidence of domestic violence.

Final Funding Priorities

    A notice which announced this grant cycle was published in the 
Federal Register on February 17, 1994 at 59 FR 8009, and proposed two 
funding priorities. No comments were received during the 30 day comment 
period. Therefore, the priorities remain as proposed. The final 
priorities are shown below.
    A funding priority will be given to programs which demonstrate 
either substantial progress over the last three years or a significant 
experience of ten or more years in enrolling and graduating trainees 
from those minority or low-income populations identified as at risk of 
poor health outcomes.
    A funding priority will also be given for projects that address the 
program purpose of reducing the incidence of domestic violence.
