42 U.S.C. § 300n–4a: Supplemental grants for…

Summary

The Secretary, through the CDC Director, can give demonstration grants to no more than 3 States that already get breast and cervical cancer funds. The grants pay for extra preventive services beyond the usual ones, such as blood pressure and cholesterol checks, health education, referrals and follow-up care for women who need medical treatment, and evaluation or monitoring of these activities. A State must provide these extra services only through groups that are already doing breast or cervical cancer screening under the main program. The law authorized $3,000,000 for fiscal year 1994 and whatever money is needed for 1995–2003. Those funds only apply in a year when the related breast and cervical cancer program gets at least $100,000,000 that year.
