Page 2

The HRSA requires applicants to electronically apply at the Grants.gov website. Furthermore, the agency also requires that the applicants comply with a two-tier application process, consisting of Phases 1 and 2. Phase 1 of the application process involves registration and application at the Grants.gov website, while Phase 2 requires the use of the HRSA Electronic Handbook(HRSA EHB).

The deadline for applications will be on October 12, 2011.

Interested applicants will be deemed eligible as long as they are an existing Health Care Program Grantee, and as long as they observe the following:

a) Come up with proposed projects within the application that will support alteration/renovation costs.

b) Request for funding that is less than or equal to $500,000

c) Propose alteration/renovation activities that will not begin before the award date (May 2012)

d) Proposed project will not be used to support space which will be rented to other entities for the purpose of generating profit

As described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, the Department of Health and Human Services perceives the Affordable Care Act grant as an opportunity to award funds to Health Center Programs for major facility improvement projects.

The Department of Health and Human Services, the branch of the government where the HRSA is under, is the primary provider of necessary human services in the US, especially to those who are financially challenged and are least capable of helping themselves.

The Affordable Care Act Capital Development - Immediate Facility Improvements Program is essential in keeping up with the HRSA's goal to improve the care systems of the community and to provide safe and quality care to isolated and medically vulnerable patients.
