42 U.S.C. § 300t: Development grants for…

Summary

Each year the Secretary must give a grant to every health systems agency that meets three rules: it has a formal designation agreement, it has a health systems plan (HSP) and an area implementation plan (AIP) reviewed by the Statewide Health Coordinating Council, and an official review finds it is organized, run, and doing its job satisfactorily. The money helps the agency start and keep an Area Health Service Development Fund to make grants and contracts allowed by law. The Secretary decides each grant amount after weighing the area's population, average family income, and the supply of health services, but no grant can be larger than $1 times the area's population. An agency must apply in the form the Secretary requires and get approval before getting a grant. Congress set exact funding amounts for certain years: $25,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1975; $75,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1976; $120,000,000 for each year ending September 30, 1977 and September 30, 1978; $20,000,000 for the year ending September 30, 1981; and $30,000,000 for the year ending September 30, 1982.
