efficacy of somatic cell and gene therapy

products. This limited access may, in

the long term, unduly restrict progress

in the field of somatic cell and gene

therapy in the United States.

To obtain more information, FDA

would like to discuss several issues

related to the limited access to ancillary

components on the development of

somatic cell and gene therapies,

including: (1) What are the ancillary

components that are most critical to

somatic cell and gene therapy trials? (2)

What are the main reasons for the lack

of availability of ancillary components?

(3) Are there alternate suppliers of

ancillary components? and (4) What is

the impact of the limited supply of

ancillary components on somatic cell

and gene therapy development?

FDA is soliciting public testimony

from biomedical researchers, university

faculty and administrators,

biotechnology associations, other

Federal and government agencies, and

other individuals and organizations

with relevant information concerning

limited access to critical ancillary

componets for gene therapy and somatic

cell therapy manufacturing. FDA also

solicits testimony, in particular, from

affected individuals and consumer

organizations. All interested parties are

invited to participate in the meeting.

Every effort will be made to

accommodate each person who wants to

participate in the public meeting.

However, because presentations will be

limited to the first 30 minutes of the

meeting, the time allotted for each

presentation will be restricted to 5

minutes. Due to the time limitations of

the meeting, all requests may not be

granted. Therefore, each person who

wants to participate in the meeting is

encouraged, by close of business on

February 27, 1995, to do the following:

(1) File a written request of participation

containing the name, address, phone

number, facsimile number, affiliation, if

any, of the participant, and topic of the

presentation, and (2) submit a copy or

summary of their presentation. The

requested information, including the

written notice of participation, may be

submitted to the Dockets Management

Branch (address above). After the

presentations, the remainder of the

meeting will be used to allow for

discussion.

Before the meeting, CBER will

determine the schedule for the

presenters. A schedule of the presenters

will be filed with the Dockets

Management Branch (address above)

and mailed or FAX’ed to each

participant before the meeting.

Interested persons attending the meeting

who did not request an opportunity to

make a presentation or those who did

request an opportunity to make a

presentation but due to the time

limitations were not granted the request

will be given the opportunity to make

an oral presentation at the conclusion

the meeting, as time permits.

FDA will consider information

presented and discussed at the meeting

in the developing of future points to

consider and regulatory and guidance

documents, and in identifying topics for

future discussion.

Transcripts of the public meeting may

be requested in writing from the

Freedom of Information Office (HFI–35),

D. Criteria for Evaluation

Applicants will be evaluated against

the following criteria:

considered for scholarship awards based

on their desired career goals and how

these goals relate to current Indian

health manpower needs. Applications

for each health career category are

reviewed and ranked separately.

2. Academic performance. Applicants

are rated according to their academic

performance as evidenced by transcripts

and faculty evaluations. In cases where

a particular applicant’s school has a

policy not to rank students

academically, faculty members are

asked to provide a personal judgment of

the applicant’s achievement. Health

Professions applicants with a

cumulative GPA below 2.0 are not

eligible to apply.

3. Faculty/employer

recommendations. Applicants are rated

according to evaluations by faculty

members and current and/or former

employers regarding the applicant’s

potential in the chosen health related

professions.

4. Stated reasons for asking for the

scholarship and stated career goals.

Applicants must provide a brief written

explanation of reasons for asking for the

scholarship and of career goals. The

applicant’s narrative will be judged on

content and how well it is written.

5. Applicants who are closest to

graduation or completion are awarded

first. For example, senior and junior

applicants under the Health Professions

Pregraduate Scholarship receive funding

before freshmen and sophomores.

E. Priority Categories

Regulations at 42 CFR 36.304 provide

that the IHS shall, from time to time,

publish a list of health professions

eligible for consideration for the award

of Indian Health Professions Preparatory

SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health

Policy, Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA), Public Health

Service, Department of Health and

Human Services, announces the

availability of funds in Fiscal Year (FY)

1995 for a grant to support the

development of a rural regional Trauma

and Emergency Medical Services (EMS)

System in South Central Florida for a

one year project period. The successful

applicant will develop a plan to

integrate existing rural emergency

services (EMS), local community

hospitals, a metropolitan tertiary care

center/level I trauma center and its

medical helicopter to develop a

regionalized system of care. This project

is intended to serve as a model for other

rural, underserved areas of the United

States.

Authority

The award will be made from funds

appropriated under Pub. L. 103–333

(HHS Appropriation Act for FY 1995).

The Senate Committee on

Appropriations Report 103–318,

included a set-aside to support the Rural

Regional Trauma and EMS System

Demonstration Project under the FY

1995 appropriations to support

Outreach grants. Grants for these

projects are authorized under Section

301 of the Public Health Service Act.

Eligible Applicants

Justification for Other Than Full and

Open Competition

In the Senate Committee on

Appropriations Report 103–318, the

Senate directed this demonstration

project grant award to be made only to

an entity located in South Central

Florida. Specifically, the eligible

applicant must be located either in an

urban-based, level I trauma hospital in

Florida, or in one of the Florida counties

comprising the demonstration grant

service area (Okeechobee, Highlands,

Hendry, DeSoto, Glades, or Hardee

County). The applicant can be a public

or private, not-for profit entity. The

Department agrees that this set-aside

will further program objectives.

Funds Available

An estimated total award of up to

$600,000 will be available to support a

single grant project for a one-year grant

period.

Cost Participation

Cost participation serves as an

indicator of community and

institutional support for the project and

the likelihood that the project will

continue after Federal grant support has

ended. The successful applicant must

share in the project costs by providing

equipment, personnel, building space,

indirect costs, other in-kind

contributions, or cash.

considered as meeting the deadline if

they are either (1) received on or before

the deadline date; or (2) postmarked on

or before the deadline date and received

in time for orderly processing.

Applicants must obtain a legible dated

receipt from a commercial carrier or the

U.S. Postal Service in lieu of a

postmark. Private metered postmarks

will not be acceptable as proof of timely

mailing. Late applications will be

returned to the sender.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Program Objectives

The purpose of the Rural Regional

Trauma and EMS System Demonstration

Project is to support the development of

a regional trauma and EMS system to

serve rural communities. The successful

applicant will integrate existing rural

prehospital providers (EMS), local

community hospitals, and rural

community providers, with a

metropolitan tertiary care center/level I

trauma center and its aeromedical

transport services, into a services

network that is capable of improving

emergency services to rural populations.

Specifically, these rural populations are

located in the Florida counties of

Okeechobee, Highlands, Hendry,

DeSoto, Glades, and Hardee; and are

comprised of medically underserved

populations, such as migrant laborers

and Native Americans. Currently these

populations do not receive timely,

comprehensive trauma care.

Consistent with the requirements of

the Rural Health Outreach Program,

under which this demonstration project

is funded, all qualified applicants must

develop consortia of three or more

participatory entities, each of which

must play an active contributory role in
