Rural Health Services Outreach Grant

Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services

Administration, PHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds.

SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health

Policy, Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA), announces that

applications are being accepted for

Rural Health Services Outreach

Demonstration Grants to expand or

enhance the availability of essential

health services in rural areas. Grants for

these projects are authorized under

Section 301 of the Public Health Service

Act.

This program announcement for the

above stated program is subject to the

appropriation of funds for this activity.

Applicants are advised that this

program announcement is a contingency

action being taken to assure that should

funds become available for this purpose,

awards can be made in a timely fashion

consistent with the needs of the

program. At this time, given a

continuing resolution and the absence

of FY 1996 appropriations for this

program, the amount of funds available

cannot be estimated.

NATIONAL HEALTH OBJECTIVES FOR THE

YEAR 2000: The Health Resources &

Services Administration (HRSA) is

committed to achieving the health

promotion and disease prevention

objectives of Healthy People 2000, a

Public Health Service (PHS) national

activity for setting priority areas. The

Rural Health Services Outreach program

is related to the priority areas for health

promotion, health protection and

preventive services. Potential applicants

may obtain a copy of Healthy People

2000 (Full Report: Stock No. 017–001–

00474–C) or Healthy People 2000

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Eligible Applicants

The grant recipient must be a

nonprofit or public entity which meets

one of the three requirements stated

below.

(1) The applicant’s central

administrative headquarters where the

grant will be managed is not located in

a Metropolitan Statistical Area as

defined by the Office of Management

and Budget. A list of the cities and

counties that are designated as

Metropolitan Statistical Areas is

included in the application kit. If your

organization’s central administrative

headquarters is located in one of these

areas, you are not eligible for the

program unless you meet one of the

other two criteria listed below.

(2) Some Metropolitan Statistical

Areas on the list are extremely large. We

have divided these areas into rural and

urban census tracts. Appendix I

provides a list of these Metropolitan

Statistical Areas and the rural census

tracts in each area. If your central

administrative headquarters is located

within one of these census tracts, you

are eligible for the program.

(IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER THIS

CRITERION, YOU MUST LIST YOUR

COUNTY AND CENSUS TRACT

UNDER ITEM #8 ON THE FACE PAGE

OF THE APPLICATION OR YOUR

APPLICATION WILL BE RETURNED. If

you do not know your census tract,

Appendix II provides the telephone

numbers for regional offices of the

Census Bureau. You should call the

appropriate office to determine your

census tract.)

(3) Your organization is constituted

exclusively to provide services to

migrant and seasonal farmworkers in

rural areas and is supported under

Section 329 of the Public Health Service

Act. These organizations are eligible

regardless of the urban or rural location

of their administrative headquarters.

In addition to meeting one of the

above criteria, the applicant must be

capable of receiving the grant funds

directly and must have the capability to

manage the project. This means that the

applicant organization must be able to

exercise administrative and program

direction over the grant project; must be

responsible for hiring and managing the

project staff; must have the

administrative and accounting

capabilities to manage the grant funds;

and must have some permanent staff at

the time a grant award is made. Further,

the applicant organization must have an

Employer Identification Number from

the Internal Revenue Service at the time

of the grant award and other proof of

organizational viability that may be

requested by the Grants Management

Office.

Applicants from the 50 United States,

the District of Columbia, the

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana

Islands, the Territories of the Virgin

Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the

Compact of Free Association

Jurisdictions of the Republic of the

Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau,

and the Federated States of Micronesia,

are eligible to apply.

Applications from organizations that

do not meet one of the three

requirements described above will not

be reviewed.

Current Rural Health Services

Outreach grantees who are in the last

year of their projects may not reapply

for funds to support the same project.

Any new proposal they submit must

have a different focus from the project

that is currently being funded.

Program Objectives

The purpose of the program is to

support projects that demonstrate new

and innovative models of outreach and

health care services delivery in rural

areas that lack basic health services.

Grants will be awarded either for the

direct provision of health services to

rural populations that are not currently

receiving them, or to enable access to

and utilization of existing services.

Applicants may propose projects to

address the needs of a wide range of

rural population groups, including the

poor, the elderly, the disabled, pregnant

women, infants, adolescents, rural

minority populations, and rural

populations with special health care

needs. Projects should be responsive to

the special cultural and linguistic needs

of specific populations.

A central goal of the demonstration

program is to develop new and

innovative models for more effective

integration and coordination of health

services in rural areas. It is hoped that

some of these models will prove

significant in solving rural health

problems throughout the country. In

order to better integrate the provision of

health services in rural areas,

participation in the program requires
64170 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 240 / Thursday, December 14, 1995 / Notices

the formation of consortium

arrangements among three or more

separate and distinct entities to carry

out the demonstration projects.

A consortium must be composed of

three or more health care organizations,

or a combination of three or more health

care and social service organizations. At

least one of the entities must be a health

care service delivery organization.

Individual members of a consortium

might include such entities as hospitals,

public health agencies, Area Health

Education Centers, home health

providers, mental health centers,

substance abuse service providers, rural

health clinics, social service agencies,

health profession schools, local school

districts, emergency service providers,

community and migrant health centers,

civic organizations, etc. Although

applicants for the program must be

nonprofit or public entities, other

consortium members may be for-profit

organizations.

The roles and responsibilities of each

member organization must be clearly

defined and each must contribute

significantly to the goals of the project.

The process used to ensure compliance

with the consortium requirement

includes two steps: (1) making sure that

at least three organizations, including

the applicant, are identified, and that

each is a separate legal entity, and (2)

ensuring that each member plays a

substantial part in accomplishing the

objectives of the project.

Applicants are encouraged to develop

projects to address specific areas of need

in their communities. Need can be

established through a formal needs

assessment or by population specific

demographic data. The following are

examples of project focus areas that can

be supported through this program:

1. Projects that bring ambulatory and

mental health care to unserved or

underserved rural areas or populations.

The HRSA has a special priority to

establish primary care programs along

the U.S./Mexican border.

2. Projects that provide, or make

possible the provision, of emergency

medical services within rural areas that

lack these services.

3. The creation of new integrated

networks of providers to deliver

ambulatory care when such networks

appear likely to improve access to

health care or its quality. The HRSA is

especially interested in networks that

may become a part of managed care

systems in rural areas.

4. Projects that provide services that

enable rural populations to better utilize

existing health services, including those

involving the use of community

outreach workers.

5. Projects that provide training for

health care professionals and workers,

including community outreach workers,

when such training may be

demonstrated to be likely to lead to

higher quality services or more

accessible services in rural areas.

6. Projects that enhance the health

and safety of farmers, farm families, and

migrant and seasonal farm workers

through direct services.

7. Projects that address the needs of

rural minority populations.

8. Projects that train rural people in

disease prevention and health

promotion, when such training

addresses critical needs of the area.

9. Telecommunication and

telemedicine projects.

10. Projects on adolescent health and

on school-based programs.

The focus areas listed above are

examples only. All projects must

address the demonstrated needs of the

community.

Review Consideration

Grant applications will be evaluated

on the basis of the following criteria:

1. The extent to which the applicant

has documented and justified the

need(s) for the proposed project.

2. The extent to which the applicant

has proposed new approaches that will

meet the health care needs of the

community and has developed

measurable goals and objectives for

carrying out the project.

3. The extent to which the applicant

has clearly defined the roles and

responsibilities of each member of the

consortium and demonstrated the

experience and expertise needed to

manage the project.

4. The level of local commitment and

involvement with the project, as

evidenced by: (1) the extent of cost

participation on the part of the

applicant, members of the consortium,

and other organizations; (2) letters of

support from community leaders and

organizations; and, (3) the feasibility of

plans to sustain the project after federal

grant support is ended.

5. The reasonableness of the budget

that is proposed for the project.

6. The extent to which the applicant

has developed a realistic and workable

plan for evaluating the project and for

disseminating information about the

project.

Geographic Considerations

The HRSA hopes to expand the

outreach program into geographic areas

not currently served by the program.

Consequently, HRSA will consider

geographic coverage when deciding

which approved applications to fund.

Other Information

Grantees will be required to use at

least 85 percent of the total amount

awarded for outreach and care services,

as opposed to administrative costs. At

least 50 percent of the funds awarded

must be spent in rural areas. This is a

demonstration program that will not

support projects that are solely or

predominantly designed for the

purchase of equipment or vehicles. The

purchase of equipment and vehicles

may not represent more than 40 percent

of the total federal share of a proposal.

Grant funds may not be used for

purchase, construction or renovation of

real property or to support the delivery

of inpatient services.

Applicants are advised that the entire

application may not exceed 70 pages in

length including the project and budget

narratives, face page, all forms,

appendices, attachments and letters of

support. Applications that exceed the 70

page limit will not receive

consideration. All applications must be

typewritten and legible. Margins must

be no less than 1⁄2 inch on all sides.

Public Health System Impact Statement

This program is subject to the Public

Health System Reporting Requirements.

Reporting requirements have been

approved by the Office of Management

and Budget—# 0937–0195. Under these

requirements, the community-based

nongovernmental applicant must

prepare and submit a Public Health

System Impact Statement (PHSIS). The

PHSIS is intended to provide

information to state and local health

officials to keep them apprised of

proposed health services grant

applications submitted by communitybased nongovernmental organizations

within their jurisdictions.

Community-based non-governmental

applicants are required to submit the

following information to the head of the

appropriate state and local health

agencies in the area(s) to be impacted no

later than the Federal application

receipt due date:

a. A copy of the face page of the

application (SF 424).

b. A summary of the project not to

exceed one page, which provides:

(1) A description of the population to

be served.

(2) A summary of the services to be

provided.

(3) A description of the coordination

planned with the appropriate state or

local health agencies.

Office of Inspector General

Program Exclusions: November 1995

AGENCY: Office of Inspector General,

HHS.

ACTION: Notice of program exclusions.

During the month of November 1995,

the HHS Office of Inspector General

imposed exclusions in the cases set

forth below. When an exclusion is

imposed, no program payment is made

to anyone for any items or services

(other than an emergency item or

service not provided in a hospital

emergency room) furnished, ordered or

prescribed by an excluded party under

the Medicare, Medicaid, Maternal and

Child Health Services Block Grant and

Block Grants to States for Social

Services programs. In addition, no

program payment is made to any

business or facility, e.g., a hospital, that

submits bills for payment for items or

services provided by an excluded party.

Program beneficiaries remain free to

decide for themselves whether they will

continue to use the services of an

excluded party even though no program

payments will be made for items and

services provided by that excluded

party. The exclusions have national

effect and also apply to all Executive

Branch procurement and nonprocurement programs and activities.
