availability of funds, and program

priorities.

Competing continuation applications

may be invited upon expiration of the

initial funding period. Any awards

made subsequent to the initial 3-year

project period would be expected to

demonstrate the feasibility of adding

sites to the Network.

Review Criteria

Applications will be screened by

MCHB staff for completeness and

programmatic responsiveness to the

program guidance. Those judged to be

incomplete or non-responsive will be

returned to the applicant without

review.

Applications that are complete and

responsive to the guidance will be

evaluated for scientific and technical

merit by an appropriate peer review

group specifically convened for this

solicitation and in accordance with

HRSA grants management policies and

procedures. As part of the initial merit

review, all applications will receive a

written critique. All applications

recommended for approval will be

discussed fully by the ad hoc peer

review group and assigned a priority

score for funding.

Applications will be reviewed for

scientific and technical merit using a set

of criteria covering the following areas:

(1) Quality of plan for the

establishment of the cooperative

regional research center and the nature

and technical quality of the

investigations proposed;

(2) Principal investigator’s

documented history of leadership in the

conduct of complex multi-site clinical

trials and observational investigations

and substantial publication record in

the field of emergency medical services;

(3) Infrastructure to conduct research;

(4) Collaboration between hospital

emergency departments and regional

center;

(5) Administrative and management

plan;

(6) Budget. Budget requests should be

commensurate with the complexities

involved in what is being proposed and

carefully justified;

(7) Positive evaluation of pre-award

site visits to all applicants.

Final criteria used to review and rank

applications for this competition are

included in the application kit.

Applicants should pay strict attention to

addressing these criteria, as they are the

basis upon which their applications will

be judged.

Paperwork Reduction Act

If the cooperative agreements

described in this announcement involve

data collection activities that fall under

the purview of the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, OMB clearance will be

sought prior to collection of data.

Executive Order 12372

This program has been determined to

be a program which is subject to the

provisions of Executive Order 12372

concerning intergovernmental review of

Federal programs by appropriate health

planning agencies, as implemented by

45 CFR part 100. Executive Order 12372

allows States the option of setting up a

system for reviewing applications from

within their States for assistance under

certain Federal programs. The

application packages to be made

available under this notice will contain

a listing of States which have chosen to

set up such a review system and will

provide a single point of contact (SPOC)

in the States for review. Applicants

(other than federally-recognized Indian

tribal governments) should contact their

State SPECS as early as possible to alert

them to the prospective applications

and receive any necessary instructions

on the State process. For proposed

projects serving more than one State, the

applicant is advised to contact the SPOC

of each affected State. The due date for

State process recommendations is 60

days after the application deadline for

new and competing awards. The

granting agency does not guarantee to

‘‘accommodate or explain’’ for State

process recommendations it receives

after that date. (See part 148,

Intergovernmental Review of PHS

Programs under Executive Order 12372

and 45 CFR part 100 for a description

of the review process and requirements).

provide specific areas of child and

adolescent trauma treatment and

services. Up to 12 awards will be made

Practice Program, which will assume

primary responsibility for implementing

effective treatment and service delivery

approaches for child trauma in

community and specialty service

settings.

Eligibility: Domestic public and

private nonprofit entities can apply.

Availability of Funds: Approximately

$2,500,000 will be available for Category

I. Approximately $3,000,000 will be

will be available, with the average

award ranging from $250,000 to

$340,000. These amounts are per budget

year and total costs include direct and

indirect costs.

Period of Support: For all categories,

applicants should request support for

three years and provide a separate

budget for each year.

Public Health System Reporting

Requirements: The Public Health

System Impact Statement (PHSIS) is

intended to keep State and local health

officials apprised of proposed health

Community-based nongovernmental

service providers who are not

transmitting their applications through

the State must submit a PHSIS to the

head(s) of the appropriate State and

local health agencies in the area(s) to be

affected not later than the pertinent

receipt date for applications. This

PHSIS consists of the following

information:

a. A copy of the face page of the

application (Standard form 424).

b. A summary of the project (PHSIS),

not to exceed one page, which provides:

(1) A description of the population to

prohibits smoking in certain facilities

(or in some cases, any portion of a
