Current through June 25, 2024
The MSDH may contact applicants for clarification of
						information presented in the proposal. The proposal review process is as
						follows:
The proposal will be reviewed by MSDH staff to determine
						if it meets the minimum requirements for consideration (including being
						received by the due date).
Proposals meeting minimum requirements for consideration
						will be reviewed and scored by two separate review committees (scoring will be
						based on pre-established evaluation criteria). One committee will be comprised
						of MSDH staff and the other comprised of the MQHC Grant Program Advisory
						Council. The two scores obtained from the independent reviews will be averaged
						for the proposal's final score. A minimum score of seventy (70) is required to
						be considered for funding.
The review committees will be informed of the applicants
						that did not meet the minimum requirements to be considered.
The Advisory Council will meet to vote on the
						recommendation to make to the MSDH regarding the awarding of grants to centers
						under the MQHC Grant Program.
The MSDH is not bound by the recommendation of the
						Advisory Council. When the MSDH does not follow the recommendation of the
						Advisory Council on the awarding of a grant, an appeal process is afforded
						applicants (refer to PART III, Section 3-6 (F) MQHC Grant Program Applicant
						Appeal Process).
If the MSDH does not accept the Advisory Council's
						recommendation regarding the awarding of a grant to a center under the MQHC
						Grant Program, the MSDH will provide a written statement to the Advisory
						Council detailing the reason(s) for not accepting the Advisory Council's
						recommendation.
Applicants will be notified in writing of the funding
						decision.
