SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Program Background and Objectives

    Pub. L. 104-134 provides funds for grants under the authority of 
Section 1610 of the PHS Act. Section 1610(b) provides that the amount 
of any grant may not exceed 80 percent of the cost of the project for 
which the grant is made unless the project is located in an area 
determined by the Secretary to be an urban or rural poverty area, in 
which case the grant may cover up to 100 percent of such costs. (Urban 
or rural poverty area is defined as a medically underserved area 
designated by the Secretary (42 CFR 51c.102).) To determine if the 
proposed project location is in a medically underserved area, the 
applicant may contact the Analysis and Reporting Branch, Division of 
Facilities Compliance and Recovery, (301) 443-4303. However, before a 
determination can be made, the census tract of the facility must be 
known. Appendix III provides the telephone numbers for regional offices 
of the Census Bureau. The regional offices can provide information 
about census tracts.

Availability of Funds

    A total of $10,000,000 is available in FY 1996 to be awarded in the 
following categories:

A--Health Care for Women

    Construction or modernization of an outpatient medical facility 
located apart from a hospital or conversion of an existing facility to 
an outpatient facility which will provide services for women with 
diverse socioeconomic and medical needs and which serves medically 
underserved populations. Approximately $3.3 million is available to 
fund between one and six projects in this category.

B--Rural Health Care

    Construction or modernization of an outpatient medical facility 
located apart from a hospital or conversion of an existing facility to 
an outpatient facility which will serve medically underserved 
populations and will improve rural health care access. Approximately 
$3.3 million is available to fund between one and six projects in this 
category.

C--Oral Health Care

    Construction or modernization of an oral health care facility 
located apart from a hospital or conversion of an existing facility to 
an oral health care facility providing dental services to medically and 
dentally underserved populations, which also conducts oral health 
services research. Approximately $3.3 million is available to fund 
between one and six projects in this category.

Eligible Applicants

    To be eligible, an applicant must:
    (1) Be a public or private non-profit entity;
    (2) Have a source of funding to meet the non-Federal portion of the 
eligible construction cost; and
    (3) Have title to a building site or have a lease which includes 
the time of construction plus 20 years of operation, or have a written 
commitment to acquire such title or lease within 3 months from the date 
of the grant award.
    In addition to the above general eligibility criteria, the 
following applies to specific categories:

A--Women's Health Care

    The applicant must serve a socio-economically diverse population of 
women with diverse health needs.

B--Rural Health Care

    The applicant must meet one of the three requirements stated below.
    (1) The proposed project is NOT located in a Metropolitan 
Statistical Area as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. A 
list of the cities and counties that are designated as Metropolitan 
Statistical Areas is included in Appendix I. IF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS 
LOCATED IN ONE OF THESE AREAS, IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM 
unless it meets one of the other two criteria listed below.

[[Page 30078]]

    (2) Some Metropolitan Statistical Areas on the list are extremely 
large. Therefore, these areas have been divided into rural and urban 
census tracts. Included in Appendix II is a list of these Metropolitan 
Statistical Areas and the rural census tracts in each area. IF THE 
PROPOSED PROJECT IS LOCATED WITHIN ONE OF THESE CENSUS TRACTS, IT IS 
ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM.

(IF THE APPLICANT IS ELIGIBLE UNDER THIS CRITERION, THE COUNTY AND 
CENSUS TRACT MUST BE LISTED UNDER ITEM #5 ON THE FACE PAGE OF THE 
APPLICATION OR THE APPLICATION WILL BE RETURNED. Appendix III provides 
the telephone numbers for regional offices of the Census Bureau. The 
appropriate office can provide information about census tracts.)

    (3) The proposed project will be constituted to exclusively provide 
services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers in rural areas and is 
supported under Section 329 of the Public Health Service Act. These 
projects are eligible regardless of the urban or rural location.

C--Oral Health Care

    (1) The applicant must be a dental school, post-graduate training 
(residency) institution, a local health department clinic, or a 
community based care organization;
    (2) The applicant must operate an ongoing program of oral health 
services research; and
    (3) The proposed project must result in the provision of outpatient 
oral health services needed by a medically and dentally underserved 
population.
    APPLICANTS MAY ONLY REQUEST FUNDING FOR ONE CATEGORY. Further, 
applicants must agree in writing to provide:
    (1) An assurance (referred to as the community services assurance) 
that, at all times after such application is approved, the facility or 
portion thereof to be constructed or renovated will be made available 
to persons residing or employed in the area served by the facility who 
need the services offered by the facility, in accordance with 42 CFR 
Part 124, Subpart G; and
    (2) An assurance (referred to as the uncompensated services 
assurance) that a reasonable volume of services will be available to 
persons unable to pay for care in the facility or the portion thereof 
which is to be constructed or renovated, in accordance with 42 CFR Part 
124, Subpart F (OMB Clearance Number 0915-0077). THIS OBLIGATION 
CONTINUES IN PERPETUITY.
    In addition, before grant funds can be released, the grantee must:
    (1) Record the notice of the Federal interest and grant recovery 
rights as described in section 1622 of the PHS Act at its local land 
records office; and
    (2) Obtain a statement from the lessor (if the property is to be 
leased) that it is understood that there will be a notice of the 
Federal interest and grant recovery rights at the local land records 
office.

Evaluation Criteria

    Applicants must meet the following criteria. Projects will be 
reviewed on a competitive basis by an objective review committee based 
on an assessment of how well applicants meet the evaluation criteria:
    (1) Clarity of defined service program goals and objectives; degree 
to which the specific activities required to accomplish the service 
goals of the proposed project are defined;
    (2) Degree to which the needs assessment justifies the scope of 
services proposed by the project, including the number of persons to be 
served. Adequacy of documentation that the proposed project will result 
in the provision of services to a population that is medically 
underserved (and, for Oral Health Care projects, dentally underserved);
    (3) Adequacy of the description of the quality and scope of medical 
care (or, for Oral Health Care projects, dental care); strength of the 
qualifications of the staff to ensure appropriate care of patients;
    (4) Degree to which (a) needs of racial and ethnic minorities have 
been considered, and (b) efforts will be made to meet such needs;
    (5) Strength of documentation that services to be provided will be 
accessible and available to the target population; criteria include 
proximate location of the project to the target population; local 
transportation availability and assistance; hours of operation; and 
outreach activities;
    (6) The appropriateness of the project design, facility 
construction/renovation plans and schematic drawings, and timeframes 
for initiation through completion of the project;
    (7) The reasonableness and justification for the itemized costs in 
the construction budget;
    (8) The ability of the applicant to provide more than the minimally 
required matching amount of the cost for the construction project;
    (9) Adequacy of reimbursement sources and other funding sources 
sufficient to support program operations and to maintain the ongoing 
financial viability of the project after the construction has been 
completed;
    (10) Strength of demonstration of the applicant's intent to 
maintain the portion of the facility receiving this Federal assistance 
for the purpose of the grant for a period of at least 20 years; and
    (11) Degree to which the applicant qualifies for one of the three 
categories designated in ``Availability of Funds.''
    In addition to the above general evaluation criteria, the applicant 
will be evaluated on the following specific criteria:

A--Women's Health Care

    (1) Degree to which the project will provide services to low income 
population minority groups such as, African Americans, Hispanics, 
Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Asian and Pacific Islanders and 
will serve a diverse socio-economic group including elderly women, 
homeless women, and adolescent women.
    (2) Appropriateness of how the diverse health needs of women will 
be met, including HIV disease, mental health, maternal health, heart 
disease, diabetes, cancers, substance abuse, and violence related 
health needs.

B--Rural Health Care

    No specific criteria, the applicant should respond to the 11 
general evaluation criteria.

C--Oral Health Clinic

    (1) Adequacy of assurances which enhance coordination and 
continuity of care for the target population through collaboration and

Allowable Costs

    A successful applicant under this Notice must spend funds it 
receives according to the approved application and budget; the 
authorizing legislation; terms and conditions of the grant award; the 
regulations of the Department and PHS applicable to grants; the 
applicable Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular for public 
and private non-profit grantees; and Appendix II of the PHS Grants 
Policy Statement applicable to construction.

State Offices of Rural Health

    Category B applicants should notify their State Office of Rural 
Health of their intent to apply for this grant program. The State 
Office can provide information on rural health care needs within the 
State.

Other Award Information

    Grants awarded under this notice are subject to the provisions of 
Executive Order 12372, as implemented under 45 CFR Part 100, which 
allows States the option of setting up a system for reviewing 
applications within their States for assistance under certain Federal 
programs. The application packages to be made available by HRSA will 
contain a listing of States which have chosen to set up such a review 
system and will provide a point of contact in the States for the 
review. Applicants (other than Federally recognized Indian tribal 
governments) should contact their State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) 
as early as possible to alert them to the prospective applications and 
receive any necessary instructions on the State process. For proposed 
projects serving more than one State, the applicant is advised to 
contact the SPOC of each affected State. The due date for State process 
recommendations is 60 days after the application deadline date for new 
and competing awards. The HRSA does not guarantee that it will 
accommodate or explain its responses to State process recommendations 
received after the due date.
    PHS strongly encourages all grant and contract recipients to 
provide a smoke-free workplace and to promote the nonuse of all tobacco 
products. In addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 
1994, prohibits smoking in certain facilities (or in some cases, any 
portion of a facility) in which regular or routine education, library, 
day care, health care, or early childhood development services are 
provided to children.
    The PHS is committed to achieving the health promotion and disease 
prevention objectives of Healthy People 2000, a PHS-led national 
activity for setting priority areas. The program announcement, 
``Project Grants for Renovation or Construction of Non-Acute Health 
Care Facilities,'' is related to the priority areas of maternal health, 
oral health, and services to underserved populations. Potential 
applicants may obtain a copy of Healthy People 2000 (Full Report: Stock 
No. 017-001-00474-0) or Healthy People 2000 (Summary Report: Stock No. 
017-001-00473-1) through the Superintendent of Documents, Government 
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (Telephone (202) 783-3238).

Use of metric units in application plans, design, and project 
construction

    Per Executive Order 12770, July 1991, all construction projects 
funded in whole or in part with Federal funds must use System 
International (SI) Metric Units. Usage shall conform to Federal 
Standard 376B, Preferred Metric Units for General Use by the Federal 
Government. Applicants must use this system (SI) for planning, 
estimating, design and construction phases of Federally supported 
projects.
