Summary
When someone who got a federal award asks, the Secretary of Health and Human Services can give them supplies, equipment, services, or assign HHS staff to help carry out the award. If HHS does this, it must reduce the award payments by the cost of the staff and the market value of the supplies or services, and use the withheld money to pay those costs.
