PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

Groups can apply for these grants or contracts by sending an application to the Secretary when and how the Secretary asks. The application must include needed information and a plan to evaluate the work. Grants can cover less than a whole state or region. Applicants must run or closely supervise the programs they fund, keep test results and medical records private (unless the patient agrees or data are anonymous), involve the community when appropriate in voluntary genetic testing or counseling programs, and set up money controls and accounting so federal funds are spent and tracked properly. When deciding awards for a given fiscal year, the Secretary must give extra consideration to applicants that had received grants or contracts in the preceding fiscal year to run comprehensive sickle cell centers or sickle cell screening and education clinics.
