Availability of the HRSA competitive grants preview--HRSA. General notice

HRSA announces the availability of the HRSA Competitive Grants Preview publication for Fall 1997. This edition of the Preview is a comprehensive review of HRSA's Fiscal Year 1998 programs. The purpose of the Preview is to provide the general public with a single source of program and application information related to the Agency's annual grant planning review. The Preview is designed to replace multiple Federal Register notices which traditionally advertised the availability of HRSA's discretionary funds for its various programs. In this edition of the Preview, HRSA's programs which provide funding for loan repayments and scholarships to individuals have been included in the section "Additional HRSA Programs." It should be noted that other program initiatives responsive to new or emerging issues in the health care area and unanticipated at the time of publication of the Preview, may be advertised through the Federal Register mechanism from time-to-time. Deadlines or other requirements appearing in the Federal Register are not changed by this notice. The Preview contains a description of competitive and additional programs scheduled for review in Fiscal Year 1998 and includes instructions on how to access the Agency for information and receive application kits for all programs announced. Specifically, the following information is included in the Preview: Program Title, Legislative Authority, Purpose, Eligibility, Estimated Amount of Competition, Estimated Number of Awards, Funding Priorities and/or Preferences, Projected Award Date, Application Deadline, Application Kit Availability, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) program identification number, and programmatic contact.
