How to apply...
Application Procedure:
Application kits (i.e., application instructions, necessary forms, and application review criteria) and additional guidance are available through the HRSA Grants Application Center (GAC). To receive a complete application kit, contact the GAC at 1-877-HRSA-123. Information will also be available at: www.hrsa.gov under "State Planning Grants Program." No new competitive grant applications are anticipated in FY 2003.
Note: Each program will indicate whether applications are to be submitted to the Federal headquarters, regional or local office, or to a State or local government office.
Award Procedure:
Each of the applications will undergo an eligibility and conformance review by Federal staff at the State Planning Grants Program Office. Applications that have passed the eligibility and conformance review will be assigned to members of an Objective Review Committee (ORC) that will review them based on the evaluation criteria listed in the application guidance. The results of the ORC reviews will be shared with the HRSA Administrator and Secretary of HHS, who will make the final decisions.
Note: Grant payments may be made by a letter of credit, advance by Treasury check, or reimbursement by Treasury check.
Awards may be made by the headquarters office directly to the applicant, an agency field office, a regional office,
or by an authorized county office. The assistance may pass through the initial applicant for further distribution by
intermediate level applicants to groups or individuals in the private sector.
