§300ee–3 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of Health and Human Services can give grants to nonprofit groups made up of, or representing, health care providers to pay for training. The training must teach infection-control steps to lower spread of the agent that causes AIDS and teach how to care for and treat people with AIDS or related illnesses. Grants are allowed only where a similar program does not already serve the area or population. Applicants must submit a written application and give assurances the Secretary accepts. Recipients must provide at least $2 in non‑Federal money or donations for every $1 of Federal grant money. Federal funds or services paid or subsidized by the Federal Government cannot count toward that match. Money for these grants was authorized as needed for fiscal years 1989 through 1991. Defined term: Secretary = the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
