Availability of Funds Announced in the HRSA Preview
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration.
ACTION: General notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA announces the availability of funds in the HRSA Preview
for Summer 2001. This edition of the HRSA Preview is a comprehensive
review of HRSA's Fiscal Year 2002 competitive grant programs.
The purpose of the HRSA Preview is to provide the general public
with a single source of program and application information related to
the Agency's competitive grant offerings. The HRSA Preview is designed
to replace the multiple Federal Register notices which traditionally
advertised the availability of HRSA's discretionary funds for its
various programs. It should be noted that additional program
initiatives responsive to new or emerging issues in the health care
area and unanticipated at the time of publication of the HRSA Preview
may be announced through the Federal Register from time to time.
Requirements appearing elsewhere in the Federal Register are not
changed by this notice.
This notice contains nearly all of the content of the HRSA Preview.
The HRSA Preview contains a description of competitive and other grant
programs scheduled for awards in Fiscal Year 2002, and includes
instructions on how to contact the Agency for information and receive
application kits for all programs. Specifically, the following
information is included in the HRSA Preview: (1) Program title; (2)
legislative authority; (3) purpose; (4) eligibility; (5) funding
priorities and/or preferences; (6) estimated dollar amount of
competition; (7) estimated number of awards; (8) estimated project
period; (9) Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
identification number; (10) application availability date; (11) letter
of intent deadline (if any); (12) application deadline; (13) projected
award date; and (14) programmatic contact, with telephone and e-mail
addresses. Certain other information, including how to obtain and use
the HRSA Preview and grant terminology, can also be found in the HRSA
Preview.
Dated: July 31, 2001.

number at 1-877-477-2123 (1-877-HRSA-123). The HRSA Preview may also be
accessed on HRSA's web site at http://www.hrsa.gov/grants.htm.
How To Use and Obtain Copies of the HRSA Preview
It is recommended that you read the introductory materials,
terminology section, and individual program category descriptions
before contacting the toll-free number: 1-877-477-2123 (1-877-HRSA-
123). Likewise, we urge applicants to fully assess their eligibility
for grants before requesting kits. As a general rule, no more than one
kit per category will be mailed to applicants.
To Obtain a Copy of the HRSA Preview
To have your name and address added to or deleted from the HRSA
Preview mailing list, call the toll free number above or send a message
by e-mail to [email protected].
To Obtain an Application Kit
Applications kits differ depending on the grant program. Determine
which kit(s) you wish to receive and call 1-877-477-2123 to be placed
on the mailing list. Be sure to provide the information specialist with
both the CFDA number and the title of the grant program. You may also
request application kits using the e-mail address above. Application
kits are generally available 60 days prior to application deadline. If
kits are available earlier, they will be mailed immediately. The
guidance contained in the various kits contains detailed instructions,
background on the grant program, and other information, such as the
applicability of Executive Order 12372 and 45 CFR Part 100, and
additional information pertinent to the intergovernmental review
process, as appropriate.
World Wide Web Access
The HRSA Preview is available on the HRSA homepage via the World
Wide Web at: http://www.hrsa.gov/grants.htm. You can download this
issue in Adobe Acrobat format.
Application materials are also available for downloading for some
HRSA programs. HRSA's goal is to post application forms and materials
for all programs in future cycles.
You can register online to be sent grant application materials by
following the instructions on the web page. Your mailing information
will be added to our database and materials will be sent to you as they
become available.
Grant Terminology
Application Deadlines
Applications will be considered on time if they are received on or
before the established deadline, or postmarked on or before the
deadline given in the program announcement or in the application kit
materials. Applications sent to any address other than that specified
in the application guidance are subject to being returned.
Authorization
The citation of the law authorizing the various grant programs is
provided immediately following the title of the programs.
CFDA Number
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) is a Government-
wide compendium of Federal programs, projects, services, and activities
which
[[Page 42040]]
provide assistance. Programs listed therein are given a CFDA Number. Be
sure to use both the CFDA number and the title of the grant program
when requesting an application kit. Note that CFDA numbers with alpha
suffixes have different titles than the same CFDA numbers without
suffixes.
Cooperative Agreement
A financial assistance mechanism (grant) used when substantial
Federal programmatic involvement with the recipient is anticipated by
the funding agency during performance of the project. The nature of
that involvement will always be specified in the offering or
application guidance materials.
Eligibility
The status an entity must possess to be considered for a grant.
Authorizing legislation and programmatic regulations specify
eligibility for individual grant programs, and eligibility may be
further restricted for programmatic reasons. In general, assistance is
provided to nonprofit organizations and institutions, State and local
governments and their agencies, and occasionally to individuals. For-
profit organizations are eligible to receive awards under financial
assistance programs unless specifically excluded by legislation. Under
the President's initiative, faith-based organizations that are
otherwise eligible and believe they can contribute to HRSA's program
objectives are urged to consider these grant offerings.
Funding Availability and Estimated Amount of Competition
The funding level listed is provided only as an estimate, and is
subject to the availability of funds, congressional action, and
changing program priorities.
Funding Priorities and/or Preferences
Funding preferences, priorities, and special considerations may
come from legislation, regulations, or HRSA program leadership
decisions. They are not the same as review criteria. Funding
preferences are any objective factors that would be used to place a
grant application ahead of others without the preference on a list of
applicants recommended for funding by a review committee. Some programs
give preference to organizations which have specific capabilities such
as telemedicine networking, or have established relationships with
managed care organizations. Funding priorities are factors that cause a
grant application to receive a fixed amount of extra rating points--
which may similarly affect the order of applicants on a funding list.
Special considerations are other factors considered in making funding
decisions that are neither review criteria, preferences, or priorities,
e.g., ensuring that there is an equitable geographic distribution of
grant recipients, or meeting requirements for urban and rural
proportions.
Key Offices
The Grants Management Office serves as the focal point for
questions concerning business matters. In the HRSA Preview, the
highlighted section at the head of each program indicates the
appropriate grants management office for each program area and the main
telephone number for the office.
Letter of Intent
To help in planning the application review process, many HRSA
programs request a letter of intent from the applicant in advance of
the application deadline. Letters of intent are neither binding nor
mandatory. Details on where to send letters can be found in the
guidance materials contained in the application kit.
Matching Requirements
Several HRSA programs require a matching amount, or percentage of
the total project support, to come from sources other than Federal
funds. Matching requirements are generally mandated in the authorizing
legislation for specific categories. Also, matching or other cost-
sharing requirements may be administratively required by the awarding
office. Such requirements are set forth in the application kit.
Project Period
The total time for which support of a discretionary project has
been programmatically approved. The project period usually consists of
a series of budget periods of one-year duration. Once approved through
initial review, continuation of each successive budget period is
subject to satisfactory performance, availability of funds, and program
priorities.
Review Criteria
The following are generic review criteria applicable to HRSA
programs:
That the estimated costs to the Government of the project
are reasonable considering the level and complexity of activity and the
anticipated results.
That project personnel or prospective fellows are well
qualified by training and/or experience for the support sought, and the
applicant organization or the organization to provide training to a
fellow have adequate facilities and manpower.
That, insofar as practical, the proposed activities
(scientific or other), if well executed, are capable of attaining
project objectives.
That the project objectives are capable of achieving the
specific program objectives defined in the program announcement and the
proposed results are measurable.
That the method for evaluating proposed results includes
criteria for determining the extent to which the program has achieved
its stated objectives and the extent to which the accomplishment of
objectives can be attributed to the program.
That, in so far as practical, the proposed activities,
when accomplished, are replicable, national in scope and include plans
for broad dissemination.
The specific review criteria used to review and rank applications
are included in the individual guidance material provided with the
application kits. Applicants should pay strict attention to addressing
these criteria, as they are the basis upon which their applications
will be judged by the reviewers.
Technical Assistance
A contact person is listed for each program and his/her e-mail
address and telephone number provided. Some programs have scheduled
workshops and conference calls as indicated in the HRSA Preview. If you
have questions concerning individual programs or the availability of
technical assistance, please contact the person listed. Also check your
application materials and the HRSA web site at http://www.hrsa.gov/ for
the latest technical assistance information.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where Do I Submit Grant Applications?
The address for submitting your grant application will be shown in
the guidance document included in the application kit.
2. How Do I Learn More About a Particular Grant Program?
If you want to know more about a program before you request an
application kit, an e-mail/telephone contact is listed. This contact
person can provide information concerning the specific program's
purpose, scope and goals, and eligibility criteria. Usually, you will
be encouraged to request the application kit so that you will have
clear, comprehensive, and accurate
[[Page 42041]]
information available to you. When requesting application materials,
you must state the CFDA Number and title of the program. The
application kit lists telephone numbers for a program expert and a
grants management specialist who will provide information about your
program of interest if you are unable to find the information within
the written materials provided.
In general, the program contact person provides information about
the specific grant offering and its purpose, and the grants management
specialist provides information about the grant mechanism and business
matters, though their responsibilities often overlap.
Information specialists at the toll-free number administer mailings
and provide only basic information.
3. The Dates Listed in the HRSA Preview and the Dates in the
Application Kit Do Not Agree. How Do I Know Which Is Correct?
HRSA Preview dates for application kit availability and application
receipt deadlines are based upon the best known information at the time
of publication, often nine months in advance of the competitive cycle.
Occasionally, the grant cycle does not begin as projected and dates
must be adjusted. The deadline date stated in your application kit is
generally correct. If the application kit has been made available and
subsequently the date changes, notification of the change will be
mailed to known recipients of the application kit, and also posted on
the HRSA home page.
4. Are Programs Announced in the HRSA Preview Ever Canceled?
Infrequently, announced programs may be withdrawn from competition.
If this occurs, a cancellation notice will be provided through the HRSA
Preview at the HRSA homepage at http://www.hrsa.dhhs.gov. If
practicable, an attempt will be made to notify those who have requested
a kit for the canceled program by mail.
If you have questions, please contact Jeanne Conley of the Grants
Policy Branch at (301) 443-4972 ([email protected]).

funds in the rural area, be in complete control in the planning,
program management and financial management of the project; and, the
urban parent organization assures the Office of Rural Health Policy in
writing that, for this project, they will exert no control over or
demand collaboration with the rural entity; or (2) the organization
must be constituted exclusively to provide services to migrant and
seasonal farm workers in rural areas and supported under Section 330(g)
of the Public Health Service Act (these organizations are eligible
regardless of the urban or rural location of the administrative
headquarters); or (3) the project services will be delivered on
Federally-designated tribal lands. For all grants, not less than 50
percent of the award must be spent in a rural area or to provide
services to residents of rural areas.
Funding Priorities and/or Preferences: Funding preference may be
given to applicant 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; or (4) appropriate social service providers, such as agencies
on aging, school systems, and providers under the women, infants, and
children program (WIC), to improve access to and coordination of health
care services.

Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities Program--Competing Continuations
93.151A
Legislative Authority: Section 330 of the Public Health Services
Act, 42 U.S.C. 254b.
Purpose: The purpose of the Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities
(HSHC) program is to increase access to comprehensive primary and
preventive health care to underserved children, adolescents, and
families. Grants made under the HSHC program are awarded to public and
private nonprofit community-based health care entities for the
development and operation of school-based health centers (SBHCs). The
HSHC programs and other Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC)-supported
SBHC programs in the school or on school grounds on a full-time basis
provide comprehensive primary and preventive health care services
including mental health, oral health, ancillary, and enabling services.
Theses services are culturally sensitive, appropriate, family oriented,
and tailored to meet the health care needs of youth, adolescents, and
the community. The array of provided services on-site is locally
determined by school principals, school boards, parents, and providers,
and referral arrangements are provided for services not available on-
site. No SBHC services are provided without fully informed parental
consent. By supporting educational efforts by making sure that children
are ready to learn, SBHCs are (1) Part of an integrated system of care
and provide continuity of care to assure after hours and year round
coverage, and (2) proven to provide access to confidential and
comprehensive preventive and primary health services. The BPHC is
opening the competition for Federal funds to provide services through
the HSHC Program. The goal of this competition is to provide the best
possible health care services to students and families; to ensure that
Federal funds are utilized most effectively and efficiently; and to
ensure that HSHC grantees are prepared and equipped to handle the
challenges of the future. Applications are due 120 days before the
expiration date.
Eligibility: Applicants are limited to currently funded programs
whose project periods expire in FY 2002 and new organizations proposing
to serve the same populations currently being served by these existing
programs.
Funding Priorities or Preferences: Final administrative funding
preferences are included in the application materials.
Special Considerations: Communication with Field Office staff is
essential for interested parties in deciding whether to pursue Federal
funding as a HSHC program. Technical assistance and detailed
information about each service area, such as census tracts, can be
obtained by contacting the HRSA Field Office.
Estimated Amount of This Competition: $2,700,000.
Estimated Number of Awards: 9.

Black Lung Clinics 93.965
Legislative Authority: Section 427(a) of the Black Lung Benefits
Reform Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C. 937(a).
Purpose: The primary purpose of the Black Lung Clinics grant
program is to provide treatment and rehabilitation for Black Lung
patients and others with occupationally-related pulmonary diseases. In
addition, individual grantee programs are expected to include case
finding and outreach, preventive and health promotion services,
education for patients and their families, and testing to determine
eligibility for Department of Labor or State benefits. Although the
number of active coal miners has decreased substantially because of
mechanization, there has been an increase in the number of retired coal
miners with the disease and in the number of pulmonary patients from
other occupations. A current objective of the program is to expand
outreach so that more of the eligible population is made aware of the
services offered by the grantee clinics.
Eligibility: Health clinics that provide diagnosis, treatment, and
rehabilitation of active and retired coal miners with respiratory and
pulmonary impairments are eligible.
Funding Priorities and/or Preferences: Priority will be given to
clinics that provide a combination of services, i.e., outreach,
testing, treatment, and rehabilitation.
Review Criteria: Final review criteria are included in the
application kit.
