SUMMARY: Additional grant funds were provided to two Health Center 
Program award recipients in Las Vegas, Nevada and Washington, District 
of Columbia with periods of performance ending in fiscal year (FY) 2020 
to extend their periods of performance by up to 4 months to ensure the 
ongoing delivery of services until a new competitive award could be 
made.

Director, Office of Policy and Program Development, Bureau of Primary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
