supplemental funding for all PMHCA current award recipients in a manner

consistent funding over a consistent timeframe.

    Justification: HRSA is issuing non-competitive supplemental funds 
in FY 2024 for all PMHCA award recipients to continue to address 
behavioral health needs among children and adolescents. HRSA will offer 
supplemental funding for all 54 PMHCA current award recipients in a 
manner that will ensure that, as a result of all PMHCA funding provided 
over the past two fiscal years, all award recipients will be offered 
consistent funding over a consistent timeframe. If PMHCA current award 
recipients decline supplemental funding, that declined funding will be 
distributed among remaining recipients as allowable. Supplemental 
funding will be awarded through three consecutive actions:
     First Action: Offer supplemental funding of $158,000 to 29 
PMHCA recipients who will then be tracked with new U4A grant numbers; 
these award recipients will continue to be tracked separately for their 
ARP (Pub. L. 117-2) funding.
     Second Action: Offer supplemental funding of $158,000 to 
25 PMHCA recipients who are already tracked with U4C grant numbers.
     Third Action: Offer supplemental funding of $255,000 to 
the 19 PMHCA recipients that did not receive these supplemental funds 
in FY 2023, who are tracked under the new U4A grant numbers issued in 
the First Action.
    PMHCA program award recipients will continue to expand the reach 
and capacity of PMHCA programs started in FY 2022 to provide training 
and tele-consult support to pediatric primary care providers as well as 
to providers in other settings, including emergency departments and 
educational agencies and schools.
    The above activities are within the original scope of the PMHCA 
program (HRSA-23-081, HRSA-22-121, and HRSA-21-122).

Administrator.
