15294 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 1995 / Notices

a total of 14,068 organs were recovered

for transplant from 4,277 cadaveric

donors. Also during that year 2,564

patients died while waiting for an organ.

In the last 2 years the cadaveric donor

rate has increased slightly from

approximately 4,500 to 4,800 donors per

year. Currently there are over 37,000

people registered on the Organ

Procurement and Transplantation

Network’s transplant waiting list.

In an effort to improve the

procurement process and the organ

donor rate at the 850 hospitals

mentioned above, two (2) grants will be

awarded for projects which focus on

increasing donation at these hospitals;

in particular, hospitals with 150 beds or

more. The grantee will be required to

develop and implement a methodology

with the objective of producing at least

one solid organ donor at no fewer than

50 percent of the identified hospitals

located in the designated organ

procurement organization (OPO) service

area.

Availability of Funds

Pending the availability of funds, up

to $100,000 is available for the grant

program in fiscal year (FY) 1995. Two

(2) grants for $50,000 each will be

awarded. Applicants are requested to

propose a two-year plan specifying the

work to be done each year. Funding for

the second year (an additional $50,000)

will be contingent on the availability of

funds and progress toward objectives.

Based on the applications received, the

program may decide to award just one

grant in this fiscal year for an amount

not to exceed $100,000. See the

Application Evaluation Criteria section

for additional information on funding.

Eligible Applicants

The grant program is open to organ

procurement organizations (OPOs) and

other private nonprofit entities involved

with organ donation and

transplantation.

Joint applications of two or more

eligible entities may be submitted, e.g.,

an OPO and a non-OPO, or two OPOs.

In such instances, one entity must be

designated as the grantee institution on

the application. If a non-OPO wishes to

apply for a grant under this grant

program, it must have a written

cooperative agreement with the

designated OPO for the non-donor

hospitals identified in the project.

Preference will be given to those

proposals involving a large number of

hospitals that have the greatest potential

of generating at least one solid organ

donor.

Additional Information

A listing of non-donor hospitals

having characteristics similar to donor

hospitals within individual OPO service

areas is available upon request. Copies

of the study by Anne Klassen of the

Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and

Public Health are also available.

Requests should be directed to Mr.

Remy Aronoff or Ms. Philomena Green

at (301) 443–7577.

Application Evaluation Criteria

Grant applications will be evaluated

by a review committee according to the

following criteria:

• Consistency with the program

objective and the extent to which the

program objective will be met through

the proposed project;

• Appropriateness and adequacy of

the proposed method(s);

• Appropriateness of the work plan

and schedule for organizing and

completing the project;

• Capability of the organization to

complete the project as proposed;

• Adequacy of supporting

documentation justifying the proposal;

• Reasonableness of the budget; and

• Qualifications of the project

director and staff.

Final funding decisions for these

grants are the responsibility of the

Director, BHRD. Preference will be

given to those proposals involving a

large number of non-donor hospitals

that have the greatest potential of

generating at least one solid organ

donor. This means approved

applications involving a large number or

percentage of the non-donor hospitals in

an individual OPO service area may be

considered for funding ahead of

approved applications involving a

smaller number or percentage of nondonor hospitals in an individual OPO

service area.

Allowable Costs

The basis for determining the

allowability and allocability of costs

charged to PHS grants is set forth in 45

CFR part 74, subpart Q. The three

separate sets of cost principles

prescribed for recipients of grants for

OPOs and other private nonprofit

entities are: OMB Circular A–21 for

institutions of higher education; 45 CFR

part 74, Appendix E for hospitals; and

OMB Circular A–122 for nonprofit

organizations.

Other Award Information

Grants awarded under this Notice are

subject to the provisions of Executive

Order 12372, as implemented by 45 CFR

part 100, which allows States the option

of setting up a system for reviewing

applications within their State for

assistance under certain Federal

programs. The application packages

made available by HRSA will contain a

listing of States that have chosen to set

up such a review system and will

provide a point of contact in the State

for the review. Applicants (other than

federally recognized Indian tribes)

should contact their State Single Point

of Contact (SPOC) and follow the

SPOC’s instructions prior to the

submission of an application. For

proposed projects serving more than one

State, the applicant is advised to contact

the SPOC of each affected State. The

SPOC has 60 days after the application

deadline date to submit its review

comments. The granting agency does

not guarantee to ‘‘accommodate or

explain’’ for State process

recommendations it receives after that

date.

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.

The Public Health Service urges

applicants to submit work plans that

address specific objectives of Healthy

People 2000. Potential applicants may

obtain a copy of Healthy People 2000
