DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Part C Early Intervention Services Grant

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Non-competitive Program Expansion Supplemental Award.

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

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will 
be providing temporary critical HIV medical care and treatment services 
through GLH Magnolia Medical Clinic to avoid a disruption of HIV 
clinical care to clients in Bolivar, Sunflower and Washington counties 
in Mississippi.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Intended recipient of the award: GLH Magnolia Medical Clinic, 
Greenwood, Mississippi.
    Amount of the award: $97,500 to ensure ongoing clinical services to 
the target population.
    Authority: Section 2651 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 
300ff-51.
    CFDA Number: 93.918.
    Project period: The period of supplemental support is from 
September 1, 2008, to December 31, 2008.
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: Critical funding 
for HIV medical care and treatment services to clients in Bolivar, 
Sunflower and Washington Counties in Mississippi will be continued 
through a noncompetitive program expansion supplement to an existing 
grant award to GLH Magnolia Medical Clinic in Greenwood, Mississippi. 
This is a

temporary award because the previous grant recipient serving this 
population notified HRSA that it would not continue in the program 
after the fiscal year (FY) 2008 award was made. GLH Magnolia Medical 
clinic is the best qualified grantee for this supplement, since it 
serves many of the former grantee's patients and is the closest Part C 
Program to the former grantee. Further funding beyond December 31, 
2008, for this service area will be competitively awarded during the 
next Part C HIV Early Intervention Service (EIS) competing application 
process for FY 2009.
