Programs for Fiscal Year 1998

    Grants for Primary Care Training programs are authorized under 
sections 747 (a) and (b), 748, 750 and 751, title VII of the Public 
Health Service Act, as amended by the Health Professions Education

Proposed Review Criterion

    The following criterion is proposed to be added to the existing 
review criteria established in 61 FR 52034 on October 4, 1996:
    ``5. Project impact/influence in shaping the curriculum, program, 
department, institution and the community.''

[[Page 46503]]

    The review criterion is proposed in this combined notice, rather 
than individual program announcements, to provide consistent review of 
all primary care medical education grant applications. An announcement 
will be made in the HRSA Preview for grant programs which will conduct 
competitive cycles in FY 1998.
    The comment period is 30 days. All comments received on or before 
October 3, 1997 will be considered before the final review criteria are 
established. Written comments should be addressed to: Enrique 
Fernandez, M.D., Division of Medicine, Bureau of Health Professions, 
Health Resources and Services Administration, Parklawn Building, Room 
9A-20, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857, Telephone : (301) 
443-1467, FAX: (301) 443-8890.
    All comments received will be available for public inspection and 
copying at the Division of Medicine, at the above address, weekdays 
(Federal holidays excepted) between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00
