    Rural Health Outreach and Rural Network Development Program
    
    AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
    
    ACTION: Notice of availability of funds.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Office of Rural Health Policy announces that fiscal year 
    1997 funds are available for grants under the Rural Health Outreach, 
    Network Development, and Telemedicine Grant Program. This announcement 
    deals with the Rural Outreach and Rural Network Development aspects of 
    the program. The Telemedicine grants will be announced separately.
        Two kinds of projects will be funded under this announcement: (1) 
    Rural Outreach Grants for the development of innovative new service 
    delivery systems in rural areas where support is provided for the 
    actual delivery of new services or enhancement of existing services, 
    and (2) Rural Network Development Grants for the planning and 
    development of vertically integrated networks in rural areas where the 
    emphasis is placed not on the actual delivery of services, but on 
    efforts to restructure the delivery system in rural communities. Funds 
    were appropriated for these grants under Public Law 104-208. The grants 
    are authorized by Section 330A of the Public Health Service Act as 
    amended by the Health Centers Consolidation Act of 1996, Public Law 
    104-299.
        Applicants may not apply for both the Rural Outreach Grants and the 
    Rural Network Development Grants.
        NATIONAL HEALTH OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR 2000: The Public Health 
    Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotion and 
    disease prevention objectives of Healthy People 2000, a PHS-led 
    national activity for setting priority areas. The Rural Health 
    Outreach, Network Development, and Telemedicine Grant Program is 
    related to the priority areas for health promotion, health protection 
    and preventive services. Potential applicants may obtain a copy of 
    Healthy People 2000 (Full Report: Stock No. 017-001-00474-C) Or Healthy 
    People (Summary Report: Stock No. 017-001-00473-1) through the 
    Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, 
    D.C. 20402-9325 (Telephone (202)783-3238).
    
    FUNDS AVAILABLE: Appropriations for FY 1997 include $16 million to 
    support Rural Outreach and Rural Network Development Grants. Of this 
    amount, it is anticipated that about $8 million will be available to 
    support 40 new Rural
    
    [[Page 65582]]
    
    Outreach Grant awards and $8 million to support about 40 Rural Network 
    Development awards. The budget period for new projects will begin 
    September 30, 1997.
        Individual grant awards under this notice will be limited to a 
    total amount of $200,000 (direct and indirect costs) per year. 
    Applications for smaller amounts are encouraged. Applicants may propose 
    project periods for up to three years, but the duration of projects is 
    contingent upon the availability of funds. Applicants are advised that 
    continued funding of grants beyond the one year period covered by this 
    announcement is contingent upon the appropriation of funds for the 
    program and assessment of grantee performance. No project will be 
    supported for more than three years.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The two categories of grants offered under 
    this program, Rural Outreach Grants and Rural Network Development 
    Grants, have a common purpose as stated in the authorizing legislation 
    cited above. That purpose is ``to coordinate, restrain the cost of, and 
    improve the quality of essential health care services in rural areas, 
    including preventive and emergency services, through the development of 
    integrated health care delivery systems or networks in rural areas and 
    regions.'' The two types of grants available through this announcement 
    are different approaches to achieve the same goals.
    
    Rural Outreach Grants
    
        These grants are very similar to the outreach projects awarded by 
    the Office of Rural Health Policy over the past six years. They will 
    support the development of innovative new health service delivery 
    systems in rural areas that lack basic services. Grants will be awarded 
    to support the actual delivery of new services. They may also be 
    awarded to support activities that will expand access to or increase 
    utilization of existing services. Programs in preventive health care, 
    health education, quality improvement, emergency care and other 
    services may be supported through the program. Applicants may propose 
    projects to address the needs of a wide range of rural population 
    groups including the poor, the elderly, adolescents, rural minority 
    populations, pregnant women and children, populations with special 
    health care needs, etc. Projects should be responsive to the special 
    cultural and linguistic needs of specific populations. The grants may 
    not be used to support planning activities.
        A central goal of the Rural Outreach Grants is to better coordinate 
    services through the development of new service delivery systems. In 
    furtherance of this goal, participation in the program requires the 
    formation of a service delivery network of three or more health care 
    organizations, or a combination of three or more health care and social 
    service organizations. At least one of the entities must be a health 
    care service delivery organization. Individual members of the Rural 
    Outreach Grant network might include such entities as physicians, 
    hospitals, public health agencies, emergency care providers, mental 
    health centers, Rural Health Clinics, social service agencies, health 
    professions schools, other educational institutions, community and 
    migrant health centers, civic organizations, dental providers, etc. 
    There must be a memorandum of agreement or other documented 
    arrangements to ensure effective collaboration among members of the 
    service delivery network. Although applicants for the program must be 
    nonprofit or public entities, other network members may be for-profit 
    organizations.
        The roles and responsibilities of each member of a Rural Outreach 
    Grant network must be clearly defined and each must contribute 
    significantly to the goals of the project. The local community must be 
    involved in the project and committed to the goals of the network.
        Review Considerations:
        Applications for the Rural Outreach Grant Program will be evaluated 
    on the basis of the following criteria:
        1. The extent to which the applicant has documented and justified 
    the need(s) for the proposed project. 20 Points
        2. The extent to which the applicant has proposed innovative new 
    approaches for meeting the health care needs of the community and 
    developed measurable goals and objectives for carrying out the project. 
    20 Points
        3. The extent to which the applicant has clearly defined the roles 
    and responsibilities of each member of the network and demonstrated the
    
    [[Page 65583]]
    
    experience and expertise needed to manage the project. 20 Points
        4. The level of local commitment and involvement with the project, 
    as evidenced by the extent of cost participation on the part of the 
    applicant, members of the network, and other organizations; letters of 
    support from community leaders and organizations; and the feasibility 
    of plans to sustain the project after Federal grant support is ended. 
    15 Points
        5. The reasonableness of the budget that is proposed for the 
    project. 15 Points
        6. The extent to which the applicant has developed a realistic and 
    workable plan for evaluating the project and the applicant's plan for 
    disseminating information about the project. 10 Points
    
    Rural Network Development Grants
    
        These grants will support the development of vertically integrated 
    health care networks in rural areas or regions of the country. 
    Vertically integrated networks are defined as networks consisting of 
    different types of providers (e.g., hospital, long-term care facility, 
    rural health clinics) as opposed to horizontally integrated networks 
    composed of only one type of provider (e.g., hospitals only). The 
    grants will support both planning and developmental activities to 
    assist providers and the rural communities they serve in restructuring 
    the local health care delivery system. Vertically integrated networks 
    may entail more formal relationships among the members than the 
    networks envisioned for the Rural Outreach Grants. Also, the activities 
    supported by these grants do not need to involve the actual delivery of 
    services. Instead, it is expected that most activities will be aimed at 
    developing and strengthening the organizational capabilities of the 
    networks.
        Like the outreach networks, vertically integrated networks 
    supported under these grants must be composed of three or more health 
    care providers or other entities that provide or support the delivery 
    of health care services. All of the members of a network may not be 
    owned by one entity. While social service providers may be part of a 
    network, the grants will not support networks for the exclusive 
    provision of social services. The members of a network must have a 
    strong existing commitment to the network's goals and objectives and 
    some history of prior collaboration before applying for the grant. 
    Unlike the Rural Outreach Grants, the program will not support projects 
    where the members have never collaborated in the past.
        Although applicants for the program must be nonprofit or public 
    entities, profit-making organizations may be members of a vertically 
    integrated network. The local community must be involved in the project 
    and committed to the goals of the network.
        Review Considerations:
        Applications for the Rural Network Development Grant Program will 
    be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
    1. Purpose and Benefits--10 Points
        A. The strength of the applicant's description of the goals of the 
    network and the problems and needs that will be addressed by the grant.
        B. The extent to which the applicant has demonstrated the potential 
    benefits of the project that will accrue to the communities and 
    populations in the network service area.
    2. Activities--15 Points
        A. The extent to which the specific activities and functions to be 
    supported by the grant will contribute to the overall goals of the 
    network.
    3. Self-Sustainability--20 Points
        A. The extent to which the applicant's plan for continuing the 
    project is likely to result in a self-sustaining network at the 
    conclusion of the Federal grant.
    4. Current Status and Capability--15 Points
        A. The strength of organizational relationships between members of 
    the network and the strength of governance arrangements for the 
    network.
        B. The extent of previous collaboration between members of the 
    network.
    5. Commitment--15 Points
        A. The level of commitment and active involvement in the grant 
    project as evidenced by the network members'' allocation of time, 
    capital, cash and in-kind contributions and other resources needed for 
    the project.
        B. The extent of personal commitment to the project from the 
    network leadership staff including leadership staff employed by each of 
    the individual members of the network.
    6. Community Involvement--20 Points
        A. The extent to which the local communities to be served by the 
    network and the grant project are involved with the planning and 
    ongoing operations of the network.
    7. Budget--5 Points
        A. The reasonableness of the budget proposed for the project and 
    the strength of the applicant's justification of the need for Federal 
    funds.
    
    Eligible Applications
    
        The grant recipient must be a nonprofit or public entity which 
    meets the requirements stated below. Applicants that meet one of these 
    requirements are eligible for one or both of the grant opportunities 
    described in this notice.
        (1) The applicant's central administrative headquarters where the 
    grant will be managed is not located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area 
    as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. A list of the cities 
    and counties that are designated as Metropolitan Statistical Areas is 
    included in the application kit. If your organization's central 
    administrative headquarters is located in one of these areas, you are 
    not eligible for the program unless you meet one of the other two 
    criteria listed below.
    
    (Note to former applicants: The list of metropolitan statistical 
    areas has been updated from previous years. Please check your status 
    using the enclosed list.)
    
        (2) Some Metropolitan Statistical Areas on the list are extremely 
    large. We have divided these areas into rural and urban census tracts. 
    Appendix I provides a list of these large Metropolitan Statistical 
    Areas and the rural census tracts in each area. If your central 
    administrative headquarters is located within one of these census 
    tracts, you are eligible for the two grant opportunities.
    
    (If you are eligible under this criterion, you must list your county 
    and census tract under item #5 on the face page of the application 
    or your application will be returned. If you do not know your census 
    tract, appendix II provides the telephone numbers for regional 
    offices of the census bureau. You should call the appropriate office 
    to determine your census tract.)
    
        (3) Your organization is constituted exclusively to provide 
    services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers in rural areas and is 
    supported under Section 329 of the Public Health Service Act. These 
    organizations are eligible regardless of the urban or rural location of 
    their administrative headquarters.
        In addition to the above criteria, applicants must be capable of 
    receiving the grant funds directly and must have the capability to 
    manage the project. This means that applicants must be able to exercise 
    administrative and program direction over the grant project; must be 
    responsible for hiring and managing the project staff; must have the 
    administrative and accounting capabilities to manage the grant funds;
    
    [[Page 65584]]
    
    and must have some permanent staff at the time a grant award is made. 
    Further, applicants must have an Employer Identification Number from 
    the Internal Revenue Service at the time of the grant award and other 
    proof of organizational viability that may be requested by the Grants 
    Management Office.
        Applicants from the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, the 
    Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
    Islands, the Territories of the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, 
    the Compact of Free Association Jurisdiction of the Republic of the 
    Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the Federated States of 
    Micronesia are eligible to apply.
    
    Applications That Do Not Meet the Requirements Stated Above Will 
    Not Be Reviewed
    
        Current Rural Health Services Outreach grantees may not apply for 
    funds to support the same project. Any new proposal they submit must 
    have a different focus from the project that is currently receiving 
    support.
    
    Preference Points
    
        The authorizing legislation gives preference for both programs to 
    applications from networks that include: (1) a majority of the health 
    care providers serving in the area or region to be served by the 
    network; (2) any federally qualified health centers, rural health 
    clinics, and local public health departments serving in the area or 
    region; (3) outpatient mental health providers serving in the area or 
    region; (4) appropriate social service providers, such as agencies on 
    aging, school systems, and providers under the women, infants and 
    children program, to improve access to and coordination of health care 
    services.
        A total of 10 preference points will be added to the review score 
    of each approved application that includes any of the above mentioned 
    preferences, agencies, or providers. Applicants for either type of 
    grant offered under this announcement are eligible to receive the 
    preference points.
        The HRSA hopes to achieve a geographic balance in making new awards 
    under this announcement. Therefore, HRSA will consider geographic 
    coverage when deciding which approved applications to fund. With 
    respect to the Rural Network Development Grants only, HRSA will also 
    consider the balance between grants to newly emerging networks where 
    planning is the major activity, and grants to more advanced networks.
    
    Other Information
    
        For both types of grants, at least 50 percent of the funds awarded 
    must be spent in rural areas or for the benefit of rural communities. 
    Grant funds may not be used for purchase, construction or renovation of 
    real property. The grants will not support projects that are solely for 
    the purchase of equipment or vehicles.
        Applicants are required to participate in the cost of grant 
    supported projects. Cost participation may be in cash or in-kind. In-
    kind contributions might include donated staff time, donated space or 
    equipment, donated vehicles, or other non-cash resources.
        Applicants are advised that the entire application may not exceed 
    70 pages in length including the project and budget narratives, face 
    page, all forms, appendices, attachments and letters of support. Each 
    page of the application must be numbered consecutively. All 
    applications must be computer generated or typewritten in print 
    measuring at least 12 characters (scalable or nonscalable font) per 
    inch and legible. Margins must be no less than 1 inch on the top and 
    \1/2\ inch on the bottom and left and right sides.
        In order to allow the Office of Rural Health Policy to plan for the 
    objective review process, applicants are encouraged to notify the 
    Office in writing of their intent to apply and the program they are 
    applying for. This notification serves to inform the Office of 
    anticipated numbers of applications which may be submitted. The address 
    is: Office of Rural Health Policy, Health Resources and Services 
    Administration, Parklawn Building, Room 9-05, Rockville, Md., 20857, or 
    Fax # 301/443-2803. If notification is offered, it should be received 
    no later that February 15.
    
    Smoke-free Workplaces
    
        The PHS strongly encourages all grant recipients to provide a 
    smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of all tobacco products. 
    In addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, 
    prohibits smoking in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion 
    of a facility) in which regular or routine education, library, day 
    care, health care or early childhood development services are provided 
    to children.
    
    Public Health System Impact Statement
    
        This program is subject to the Public Health System Reporting 
    Requirements. Reporting requirements have been approved by the Office 
    of Management and Budget--# 0937-0195. Under these requirements, the 
    community-based nongovernmental applicant must prepare and submit a 
    Public Health System Impact Statement (PHSIS). The PHSIS is intended to 
    provide information to State and local health officials to keep them 
    apprised of proposed health services grant applications submitted by 
    community-based organizations within their jurisdictions.
        Community-based non-governmental applicants are required to submit 
    the following information to the head of the appropriate State and 
    local health agencies in the area(s) to be impacted no later than the 
    Federal application receipt due date:
        a. A copy of the face page of the application (SF 424).
        b. An abstract of the project not to exceed one page, which 
    provides:
        (1) A description of the population to be served;
        (2) A summary of the services to be provided;
        (3) A description of the coordination planned with the appropriate 
    State or local health agencies.
    
    Executive Order 12372
    
        This grant program has been determined to be a program which is 
    subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12372 concerning 
    intergovernmental review of Federal programs by appropriate health 
    planning agencies as implemented by 45 CFR part 100. Executive Order 
    12372 allows States the option of setting up a system for reviewing 
    applications from within their States for assistance under certain 
    Federal programs. Applicants (other than Federally-recognized Indian 
    tribal governments) should contact their State Single Point of Contact 
    (SPOCs), a list of which will be included in the application kit, as 
    early as possible to alert them to the prospective applications and 
    receive any necessary instructions on the State process. For proposed 
    projects serving more than one State, the applicant is advised to 
    contact the SPOC of each affected State. All SPOC recommendations 
    should be submitted to Larry Poole, Office of Grants Management, Bureau 
    of Primary Health Care, 4350 East West Highway, 11th Floor, Bethesda, 
    Maryland 20814, (301)594-4260. The due date for State process 
    recommendations is 60 days after the application deadline of March 31, 
    1997 for competing applications. The granting agency does not guarantee 
    to ``accommodate or explain'' State process recommendations it receives 
    after that date. (See Part 148 of the PHS Grants Administration Manual, 
    Intergovernmental Review of PHS Programs under Executive Order 12372,
    
    [[Page 65585]]
    
    and 45 CFR Part 100 for a description of the review process and 
    requirements.
        Applicants are required to notify their State Office of Rural 
    Health (or other appropriate State entity) of their intent to apply for 
    this grant program and to consult with such agency regarding the 
    content of the application. The State Office can provide information 
    and technical assistance. A list of State Offices of Rural Health is 
    included with the application kit.
