After the award was issued, Trover
Health System and RHCA notified
HRSA that RHCA’s organizational
structure had changed to enable it to
carry out both administrative and
programmatic requirements. The two
parties requested that full responsibility
for the grant be transferred from Trover
Health System to RHCA. RHCA
provided documentation that it meets
Section 330 statutory and regulatory
requirements as well as applicable grant
management requirements.
