§1397m–3 Provision of Information Regarding, and Evaluations Of, Elder Justice Programs

Summary

To get a grant under this part, an applicant must agree to give the people doing the evaluation the information they need. If the grant is for the certified EHR technology grant program under section 1397m(b), the applicant must give the Secretary any information the Secretary needs for an evaluation or audit. The Secretary must set aside at least 2 percent of the money for each program under this part to help qualified groups do evaluations, but that does not apply to the certified EHR technology grant program under section 1397m(b). Groups that get this help must use it to do a validated evaluation of how well the funded activities worked. To get help, a group must apply to the Secretary with a proposal and other required information. By the date the Secretary sets, the group must send the evaluation results and any recommendations to the Secretary, the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Finance of the Senate. The Secretary will also evaluate the certified EHR technology grant program, including whether the grant money was spent only for its intended purposes, and will conduct appropriate audits of those grants.
