Health Resources and Services

Administration

Final Review Criteria for Cooperative

Agreements for Basic/Core Area

Health Education Centers Programs

and Model State-Supported Area

Health Education Centers Programs

for Fiscal Year 1995

The Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) announces the

final review criteria for fiscal year (FY)

1995 Cooperative Agreements for Basic/

Core Area Health Education Centers

(AHEC) Programs authorized under

section 746(a)(1) and Model StateSupported Area Health Education

Centers Programs authorized under

section 746(a)(3), title VII of the Public

Health Service Act, as amended by the

Health Professions Education Extension

Amendments of 1992, Public Law 102–

408, dated October 13, 1992.

Purpose and Eligibility

In general, an area health education

centers program shall be a cooperative

program of one or more allopathic or

osteopathic medical schools and one or

more public or nonprofit private

regional area health education centers.

Section 746(a)(1) of the PHS Act

authorizes Federal assistance to schools

of allopathic or osteopathic medicine

which have cooperative arrangements

with one or more public or nonprofit

private area health education centers for

the planning, development and

operation of area health education

centers programs.

To be eligible to receive support for

an area health education centers

cooperative agreement, the applicant

must be a public or nonprofit private

accredited school of allopathic or

osteopathic medicine or consortium of

such schools, or the parent institution

on behalf of such school(s).

Section 746(a)(3) authorizes Federal

assistance to any school of allopathic or

osteopathic medicine that is operating

an area health education centers

program and that is not receiving

financial assistance under section

746(a)(1), title VII of the PHS Act.

The statutory authority for the Model

State-Supported AHEC Program

contains explicit language regarding

activities and agreements between the

medical and osteopathic schools which

develop AHEC programs and the freestanding, community-based area health

education centers which provide

training sites and resources for the

activities. To accomplish these specific

tasks, a system of subcontracts is

developed between the health

professions schools and the

independent AHEC centers in the

communities. The principal objective of

the legislation for the Model StateSupported AHEC Program is to

encourage State coordination and

support for AHEC activities.

Review Criteria

The program announcement,

published in the Federal Register at 59

FR 67303 on December 29, 1994,

proposed two additional review criteria

for this program. No comments were

received during the 30 day comment

period. Therefore, the review criteria

remain as proposed and are included as

the last two criteria in the list below.

These review criteria apply to the Basic/

Core AHEC Programs, section 746(a)(1)

and the Model State-Supported AHEC

Programs, section 746(a)(3).

The review of applications will take

into consideration the following criteria:

1. The degree to which the proposed

project adequately provides for the

program requirements set forth in

sections 746(a)(1) and 746(a)(3);

2. The capability of the applicant to

carry out the proposed project

activities in a cost-efficient manner;

3. The extent of the need of the area to

be served by the proposed area health

education center;

4. The potential of the proposed AHEC

program and participating centers to

continue on a self-sustaining basis;

and

5. The extent to which the proposed

project adequately responds to AHEC

Program performance measures and

outcome indicators.
