BILLING CODE 4164–01–P
Announcing Budget Period
Extensions with Funding for the Health
Center Program.
ACTION:
HRSA provided additional
grant funds during extended budget
periods to prevent interruptions in the
provision of critical health care services
for funded service areas until new
awards could be made to eligible
Service Area Competition (SAC)
applicants or HRSA could conduct an
orderly phase-out of Health Center
Program activities by the current award
recipients.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recipients of the Award: Health
Center Program award recipients for
service areas that were threatened with
a lapse in services due to service area reannouncement or transitioning award
recipients, as listed in Table 1.
Amount of Non-Competitive Awards:
33 awards for $17,248,966.
Period of Supplemental Funding:
Fiscal years 2016 and 2017.
CFDA Number: 93.224
SUMMARY:
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Authority: Section 330 of the Public
Health Service Act, as amended (42 U.S.C.
254b, as amended).
Health Resources and Services
Administration
Justification: Targeting the nation’s
high need populations and geographic
areas, the Health Center Program
currently funds nearly 1,400 health
centers that operate more than 11,000
service delivery sites in every state, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin.
Health Center Program
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
AGENCY:
Nearly 26 million people received
accessible, affordable, quality primary
health care services through the Health
Center Program award recipients in
2016.
Approximately one-third of Health
Center Program award recipients’
service areas are competed each year,
and each competition has the potential
to result in a change in award recipient.
SACs are also held prior to the current
grant’s project period end date when (1)
a grant is voluntarily relinquished, or (2)
a program noncompliance enforcement
action taken by HRSA terminates the
grant. If the SAC draws no fundable
applications, HRSA may extend the
current award recipient’s budget period
to ensure primary health care services
remain available while a new
competition is conducted for the service
area.
The amount of additional grant funds
is calculated by pro-rating HRSA’s
annual funding commitment to the
service area. Approximately 6 months is
required to announce and conduct a
SAC and select a new award recipient.
In all cases, current fiscal year funds are
used to extend the award recipient’s
existing budget period award. Through
these actions, award recipients receive
consistent levels of funding to support
uninterrupted primary health care
services to the nation’s underserved
populations and communities during
service area award recipient transition.
