Rural Health Outreach and Rural Network Development Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health Policy announces that fiscal year 
1997 funds are available for grants under the Rural Health Outreach, 
Network Development, and Telemedicine Grant Program. This announcement 
deals with the Rural Outreach and Rural Network Development aspects of 
the program. The Telemedicine grants will be announced separately.
    Two kinds of projects will be funded under this announcement: (1) 
Rural Outreach Grants for the development of innovative new service 
delivery systems in rural areas where support is provided for the 
actual delivery of new services or enhancement of existing services, 
and (2) Rural Network Development Grants for the planning and 
development of vertically integrated networks in rural areas where the 
emphasis is placed not on the actual delivery of services, but on 
efforts to restructure the delivery system in rural communities. Funds 
were appropriated for these grants under Public Law 104-208. The grants 
are authorized by Section 330A of the Public Health Service Act as 
amended by the Health Centers Consolidation Act of 1996, Public Law 
104-299.
    Applicants may not apply for both the Rural Outreach Grants and the 
Rural Network Development Grants.
    NATIONAL HEALTH OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR 2000: The Public Health 
Service (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 Rural Health 
Outreach, Network Development, and Telemedicine Grant Program is 
related to the priority areas for health promotion, health protection 
and preventive services. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of 
Healthy People 2000 (Full Report: Stock No. 017-001-00474-C) Or Healthy 
People (Summary Report: Stock No. 017-001-00473-1) through the 
Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, 
D.C. 20402-9325 (Telephone (202)783-3238).

FUNDS AVAILABLE: Appropriations for FY 1997 include $16 million to 
support Rural Outreach and Rural Network Development Grants. Of this 
amount, it is anticipated that about $8 million will be available to 
support 40 new Rural

[[Page 65582]]

Outreach Grant awards and $8 million to support about 40 Rural Network 
Development awards. The budget period for new projects will begin 
September 30, 1997.
    Individual grant awards under this notice will be limited to a 
total amount of $200,000 (direct and indirect costs) per year. 
Applications for smaller amounts are encouraged. Applicants may propose 
project periods for up to three years, but the duration of projects is 
contingent upon the availability of funds. Applicants are advised that 
continued funding of grants beyond the one year period covered by this 
announcement is contingent upon the appropriation of funds for the 
program and assessment of grantee performance. No project will be 
supported for more than three years.

DUE DATES: Applications for the program must be received by the close 
of business on March 31, 1997. Completed applications must be sent to 
HRSA GRANTS APPLICATION CENTER, 40 West Gude Drive, Suite 100,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The two categories of grants offered under 
this program, Rural Outreach Grants and Rural Network Development 
Grants, have a common purpose as stated in the authorizing legislation 
cited above. That purpose is ``to coordinate, restrain the cost of, and 
improve the quality of essential health care services in rural areas, 
including preventive and emergency services, through the development of 
integrated health care delivery systems or networks in rural areas and 
regions.'' The two types of grants available through this announcement 
are different approaches to achieve the same goals.

Rural Outreach Grants

    These grants are very similar to the outreach projects awarded by 
the Office of Rural Health Policy over the past six years. They will 
support the development of innovative new health service delivery 
systems in rural areas that lack basic services. Grants will be awarded 
to support the actual delivery of new services. They may also be 
awarded to support activities that will expand access to or increase 
utilization of existing services. Programs in preventive health care, 
health education, quality improvement, emergency care and other 
services may be supported through the program. Applicants may propose 
projects to address the needs of a wide range of rural population 
groups including the poor, the elderly, adolescents, rural minority 
populations, pregnant women and children, populations with special 
health care needs, etc. Projects should be responsive to the special 
cultural and linguistic needs of specific populations. The grants may 
not be used to support planning activities.
    A central goal of the Rural Outreach Grants is to better coordinate 
services through the development of new service delivery systems. In 
furtherance of this goal, participation in the program requires the 
formation of a service delivery network of three or more health care 
organizations, or a combination of three or more health care and social 
service organizations. At least one of the entities must be a health 
care service delivery organization. Individual members of the Rural 
Outreach Grant network might include such entities as physicians, 
hospitals, public health agencies, emergency care providers, mental 
health centers, Rural Health Clinics, social service agencies, health 
professions schools, other educational institutions, community and 
migrant health centers, civic organizations, dental providers, etc. 
There must be a memorandum of agreement or other documented 
arrangements to ensure effective collaboration among members of the 
service delivery network. Although applicants for the program must be 
nonprofit or public entities, other network members may be for-profit 
organizations.
    The roles and responsibilities of each member of a Rural Outreach 
Grant network must be clearly defined and each must contribute 
significantly to the goals of the project. The local community must be 
involved in the project and committed to the goals of the network.
    Review Considerations:
    Applications for the Rural Outreach Grant Program will be evaluated 
on the basis of the following criteria:
    1. The extent to which the applicant has documented and justified 
the need(s) for the proposed project. 20 Points
    2. The extent to which the applicant has proposed innovative new 
approaches for meeting the health care needs of the community and 
developed measurable goals and objectives for carrying out the project. 
20 Points
    3. The extent to which the applicant has clearly defined the roles 
and responsibilities of each member of the network and demonstrated the

[[Page 65583]]

experience and expertise needed to manage the project. 20 Points
    4. The level of local commitment and involvement with the project, 
as evidenced by the extent of cost participation on the part of the 
applicant, members of the network, and other organizations; letters of 
support from community leaders and organizations; and the feasibility 
of plans to sustain the project after Federal grant support is ended. 
15 Points
    5. The reasonableness of the budget that is proposed for the 
project. 15 Points
    6. The extent to which the applicant has developed a realistic and 
workable plan for evaluating the project and the applicant's plan for 
disseminating information about the project. 10 Points

Rural Network Development Grants

    These grants will support the development of vertically integrated 
health care networks in rural areas or regions of the country. 
Vertically integrated networks are defined as networks consisting of 
different types of providers (e.g., hospital, long-term care facility, 
rural health clinics) as opposed to horizontally integrated networks 
composed of only one type of provider (e.g., hospitals only). The 
grants will support both planning and developmental activities to 
assist providers and the rural communities they serve in restructuring 
the local health care delivery system. Vertically integrated networks 
may entail more formal relationships among the members than the 
networks envisioned for the Rural Outreach Grants. Also, the activities 
supported by these grants do not need to involve the actual delivery of 
services. Instead, it is expected that most activities will be aimed at 
developing and strengthening the organizational capabilities of the 
networks.
    Like the outreach networks, vertically integrated networks 
supported under these grants must be composed of three or more health 
care providers or other entities that provide or support the delivery 
of health care services. All of the members of a network may not be 
owned by one entity. While social service providers may be part of a 
network, the grants will not support networks for the exclusive 
provision of social services. The members of a network must have a 
strong existing commitment to the network's goals and objectives and 
some history of prior collaboration before applying for the grant. 
Unlike the Rural Outreach Grants, the program will not support projects 
where the members have never collaborated in the past.
    Although applicants for the program must be nonprofit or public 
entities, profit-making organizations may be members of a vertically 
integrated network. The local community must be involved in the project 
and committed to the goals of the network.
    Review Considerations:
    Applications for the Rural Network Development Grant Program will 
be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
1. Purpose and Benefits--10 Points
    A. The strength of the applicant's description of the goals of the 
network and the problems and needs that will be addressed by the grant.
    B. The extent to which the applicant has demonstrated the potential 
benefits of the project that will accrue to the communities and 
populations in the network service area.
2. Activities--15 Points
    A. The extent to which the specific activities and functions to be 
supported by the grant will contribute to the overall goals of the 
network.
3. Self-Sustainability--20 Points
    A. The extent to which the applicant's plan for continuing the 
project is likely to result in a self-sustaining network at the 
conclusion of the Federal grant.
4. Current Status and Capability--15 Points
    A. The strength of organizational relationships between members of 
the network and the strength of governance arrangements for the 
network.
    B. The extent of previous collaboration between members of the 
network.
5. Commitment--15 Points
    A. The level of commitment and active involvement in the grant 
project as evidenced by the network members'' allocation of time, 
capital, cash and in-kind contributions and other resources needed for 
the project.
    B. The extent of personal commitment to the project from the 
network leadership staff including leadership staff employed by each of 
the individual members of the network.
6. Community Involvement--20 Points
    A. The extent to which the local communities to be served by the 
network and the grant project are involved with the planning and 
ongoing operations of the network.
7. Budget--5 Points
    A. The reasonableness of the budget proposed for the project and 
the strength of the applicant's justification of the need for Federal 
funds.

Eligible Applications

    The grant recipient must be a nonprofit or public entity which 
meets the requirements stated below. Applicants that meet one of these 
requirements are eligible for one or both of the grant opportunities 
described in this notice.
    (1) The applicant's central administrative headquarters where the 
grant will be managed 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 the application kit. If your organization's central 
administrative headquarters is located in one of these areas, you are 
not eligible for the program unless you meet one of the other two 
criteria listed below.

(Note to former applicants: The list of metropolitan statistical 
areas has been updated from previous years. Please check your status 
using the enclosed list.)

    (2) Some Metropolitan Statistical Areas on the list are extremely 
large. We have divided these areas into rural and urban census tracts. 
Appendix I provides a list of these large Metropolitan Statistical 
Areas and the rural census tracts in each area. If your central 
administrative headquarters is located within one of these census 
tracts, you are eligible for the two grant opportunities.

(If you are eligible under this criterion, you must list your county 
and census tract under item #5 on the face page of the application 
or your application will be returned. If you do not know your census 
tract, appendix II provides the telephone numbers for regional 
offices of the census bureau. You should call the appropriate office 
to determine your census tract.)

    (3) Your organization is constituted exclusively to provide 
services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers in rural areas and is 
supported under Section 329 of the Public Health Service Act. These 
organizations are eligible regardless of the urban or rural location of 
their administrative headquarters.
    In addition to the above criteria, applicants must be capable of 
receiving the grant funds directly and must have the capability to 
manage the project. This means that applicants must be able to exercise 
administrative and program direction over the grant project; must be 
responsible for hiring and managing the project staff; must have the 
administrative and accounting capabilities to manage the grant funds;

[[Page 65584]]

and must have some permanent staff at the time a grant award is made. 
Further, applicants must have an Employer Identification Number from 
the Internal Revenue Service at the time of the grant award and other 
proof of organizational viability that may be requested by the Grants 
Management Office.
    Applicants from the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
Islands, the Territories of the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, 
the Compact of Free Association Jurisdiction of the Republic of the 
Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the Federated States of 
Micronesia are eligible to apply.

Applications That Do Not Meet the Requirements Stated Above Will 
Not Be Reviewed

    Current Rural Health Services Outreach grantees may not apply for 
funds to support the same project. Any new proposal they submit must 
have a different focus from the project that is currently receiving 
support.

Preference Points

    The authorizing legislation gives preference for both programs to 
applications from networks that include: (1) a majority of the health 
care providers serving in the area or region to be served by the 
network; (2) any federally qualified health centers, rural health 
clinics, and local public health departments serving in the area or 
region; (3) outpatient mental health providers serving in the area or 
region; (4) appropriate social service providers, such as agencies on 
aging, school systems, and providers under the women, infants and 
children program, to improve access to and coordination of health care 
services.
    A total of 10 preference points will be added to the review score 
of each approved application that includes any of the above mentioned 
preferences, agencies, or providers. Applicants for either type of 
grant offered under this announcement are eligible to receive the 
preference points.
    The HRSA hopes to achieve a geographic balance in making new awards 
under this announcement. Therefore, HRSA will consider geographic 
coverage when deciding which approved applications to fund. With 
respect to the Rural Network Development Grants only, HRSA will also 
consider the balance between grants to newly emerging networks where 
planning is the major activity, and grants to more advanced networks.

Other Information

    For both types of grants, at least 50 percent of the funds awarded 
must be spent in rural areas or for the benefit of rural communities. 
Grant funds may not be used for purchase, construction or renovation of 
real property. The grants will not support projects that are solely for 
the purchase of equipment or vehicles.
    Applicants are required to participate in the cost of grant 
supported projects. Cost participation may be in cash or in-kind. In-
kind contributions might include donated staff time, donated space or 
equipment, donated vehicles, or other non-cash resources.
    Applicants are advised that the entire application may not exceed 
70 pages in length including the project and budget narratives, face 
page, all forms, appendices, attachments and letters of support. Each 
page of the application must be numbered consecutively. All 
applications must be computer generated or typewritten in print 
measuring at least 12 characters (scalable or nonscalable font) per 
inch and legible. Margins must be no less than 1 inch on the top and 
\1/2\ inch on the bottom and left and right sides.
    In order to allow the Office of Rural Health Policy to plan for the 
objective review process, applicants are encouraged to notify the 
Office in writing of their intent to apply and the program they are 
applying for. This notification serves to inform the Office of 
anticipated numbers of applications which may be submitted. The address 
is: Office of Rural Health Policy, Health Resources and Services 
Administration, Parklawn Building, Room 9-05, Rockville, Md., 20857, or 
Fax # 301/443-2803. If notification is offered, it should be received 
no later that February 15.

Smoke-free Workplaces

    The PHS strongly encourages all grant recipients to provide a 
smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use 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.

Public Health System Impact Statement

    This program is subject to the Public Health System Reporting 
Requirements. Reporting requirements have been approved by the Office 
of Management and Budget--# 0937-0195. Under these requirements, the 
community-based nongovernmental applicant must prepare and submit a 
Public Health System Impact Statement (PHSIS). The PHSIS is intended to 
provide information to State and local health officials to keep them 
apprised of proposed health services grant applications submitted by 
community-based organizations within their jurisdictions.
    Community-based non-governmental applicants are required to submit 
the following information to the head of the appropriate State and 
local health agencies in the area(s) to be impacted no later than the 
Federal application receipt due date:
    a. A copy of the face page of the application (SF 424).
    b. An abstract of the project not to exceed one page, which 
provides:
    (1) A description of the population to be served;
    (2) A summary of the services to be provided;
    (3) A description of the coordination planned with the appropriate 
State or local health agencies.

Executive Order 12372

    This grant program has been determined to be a program which is 
subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12372 concerning 
intergovernmental review of Federal programs by appropriate health 
planning agencies as implemented by 45 CFR part 100. Executive Order 
12372 allows States the option of setting up a system for reviewing 
applications from within their States for assistance under certain 
Federal programs. Applicants (other than Federally-recognized Indian 
tribal governments) should contact their State Single Point of Contact 
(SPOCs), a list of which will be included in the application kit, 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. All SPOC recommendations 
should be submitted to Larry Poole, Office of Grants Management, Bureau 
of Primary Health Care, 4350 East West Highway, 11th Floor, Bethesda, 
Maryland 20814, (301)594-4260. The due date for State process 
recommendations is 60 days after the application deadline of March 31, 
1997 for competing applications. The granting agency does not guarantee 
to ``accommodate or explain'' State process recommendations it receives 
after that date. (See Part 148 of the PHS Grants Administration Manual, 
Intergovernmental Review of PHS Programs under Executive Order 12372,

[[Page 65585]]

and 45 CFR Part 100 for a description of the review process and 
requirements.
    Applicants are required to notify their State Office of Rural 
Health (or other appropriate State entity) of their intent to apply for 
this grant program and to consult with such agency regarding the 
content of the application. The State Office can provide information 
and technical assistance. A list of State Offices of Rural Health is 
included with the application kit.
