For new programs evidence of pre-accreditation must be submitted on November 12, 1998. Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Midwifery programs must meet guidelines published in 42 CFR Chapter 1, 57-2401, Subpart Y and Appendix. This year BHPr has decided to use the Adobe Acrobat to publish the grants documents on the Web page. In order to download, view and print these grants documents, you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader which is appropriate for your operating system, i.e., Windows, Unix, Macintosh, etc. Notification is made in writing through a Notice of Grant Award issued from the Headquarters Office.
Appeals are available only to grantees.
Project purposes must be consistent with and promote the purpose identified in the Law. Need must be documented, and the capability of achieving project goals must be described. In making awards of grants under this Section, preference will be given to any qualified applicant with a project that will substantially benefit rural or underserved populations, or help meet public health nursing needs in State or local health departments. This preference will only be applied to applications that rank above the 20th percentile of applications recommended for approval. It is estimated that 80 noncompeting continuations and 31 new awards will be made in fiscal year 2001.
