Health Resources and Services

Administration

Program Announcement and Proposed

Review Criteria for Grants for Geriatric

Education Centers for Fiscal Year 1995

The Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) announces the

acceptance of applications for fiscal year

(FY) 1995, Grants for Geriatric

Education Centers under the authority

of section 777(a) of the Public Health

Service Act, as amended by the Health

Professions Education Extension

Amendments of 1992, Pub. L. 102–408,

dated October 13, 1992. Comments are

invited on the proposed review criteria.

Approximately $6,000,000 will be

available in FY 1995 for this program.

Total continuation support

recommended is $4,100,000. It is

anticipated that $1,900,000 will be

available to support 13 competing

awards averaging $145,000.

Applicants should apply for direct

costs of no more than $100,000 (for

single institutions) and no more than

$150,000 (for consortia of three of more

institutions) for the first year of funding.

Eligibility

Section 777(a) of the PHS Act

authorizes the award of grants to

accredited health professions schools as

defined by section 799(1), or programs

for the training of physician assistants

as defined by section 799(3), or schools

of allied health as defined in section

799(4), or schools of nursing as defined

by section 853(2).

Applicants must be located in the

United States, the Commonwealth of

Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the

Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin

Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the

Republic of Palau, the Republic of the

Marshall Islands, or the Federated States

of Micronesia.

To receive support, applicants must

meet the requirements of regulations as

set forth in 42 CFR part 57, subpart 00.

The initial period of Federal support

should not exceed 3 years. Projects may

recompete for an additional 3 years.

Purpose

Grants may be awarded to support the

development of collaborative

arrangements involving several health

professions schools and health care

facilities. These arrangements, called

Geriatric Education Centers (GECs), are

established to facilitate training of

health professional faculty, students,

and practitioners in the diagnosis,

treatment, and prevention of disease,

disability, and other health problems of

the aged. Health professionals include

allopathic physicians, osteopathic

physicians, dentists, optometrists,

podiatrists, pharmacists, nurses, nurse

practitioners, physician assistants,

chiropractors, clinical psychologists,

health administrators, and allied health

professionals.

Projects supported under these grants

must offer training involving four or

more health professions, one of which

must be allopathic or osteopathic

medicine. Projects must address one or

more of the statutory purposes listed

below:

(a) Improve the training of health

professionals in geriatrics;

(b) Develop and disseminate curricula

relating to the treatment of the health

problems of elderly individuals;

(c) Expand and strengthen instruction

in methods of such treatment;

(d) Support the training and retraining

of faculty to provide such instruction;

(e) Support continuing education of

health professionals and allied health

professionals who provide such

treatment; and

(f) Establish new affiliations with

nursing homes, chronic and acute

disease hospitals, ambulatory care

centers, and senior centers in order to

provide students with clinical training

in geriatric medicine.

Grant supported projects may be

designed to accomplish the statutory

purposes in a variety of ways,

emphasizing interdisciplinary/

multidisciplinary, and disciplinespecific approaches to the development

of geriatric education resources. For

example:

• Health professions schools within a

single academic health center, or a

consortium of several educational

institutions, may share their educational

resources and expertise through a

Geriatric Education Center to extend a

broad range of multidisciplinary

educational services outward to other

institutions, faculty, facilities and

practitioners within a geographic area

defined by the applicant.

• Educational institutions that have

limited geriatric education resources

and which traditionally have had

linkages to a geographic area where

substantial geriatric education needs

exist, may seek to establish a Geriatric

Education Center. Such a center could

be designed to enhance and expand the

capability of collaborating professional

schools to provide geriatric education

resources in the geographic area in

need.

• Projects may support the

development of Geriatric Education

Centers designed to focus on

multidisciplinary geriatric education

emphasizing high priority services and

high risk groups among the elderly,

minority aging, or other special

concerns.

National Health Objectives for the Year

2000

The Public Health Service (PHS) urges

applicants to submit work plans that

address specific objectives of Healthy

People 2000. Potential applicants may

obtain a copy of Healthy People 2000

(Full Report; Stock No. 017–001–00474–

0) or Healthy People 2000 (Summary

Report; Stock No. 017–001–00473–1)

through the Superintendent of

Documents, Government Printing

Office, Washington, D.C. 20402–9325

(Telephone 202–783–3238).

Education and Service Linkage

As part of its long-range planning,

HRSA will be targeting its efforts to

strengthening linkages between U.S.

Public Health Service supported

education programs and programs

which provide comprehensive primary

care services to the underserved.

Smoke-Free Workplace

The Public Health Service strongly

encourages all grant recipients to

provide a smoke-free workplace and

promote the non-use of all tobacco

products. This is consistent with the

PHS mission to protect and advance the

physical and mental health of the

American people.

Established and Proposed Review

Criteria

The following review criteria have

been established in 42 CFR part 57,

subpart OO and will be considered in

the review of applications:

(1) The degree to which the proposed

project adequately provides for the

project requirements;

(2) The extent to which the rationale

and specific objectives of the project are

based upon a needs assessment of the

status of geriatrics training in the

institutions to be assisted and/or the

geographic area to be served;

(3) The ability of the project to

achieve the project objectives within the

proposed geographic area;

(4) The adequacy of educational

facilities and clinical training settings to

accomplish objectives;
