-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA is announcing the reissuance of Fiscal Year 2009 Service
Area Competition--New and Competing Continuation Funding (HRSA
Announcement Numbers HRSA-09-095, HRSA-09-096, HRSA-09-097, and HRSA-
09-098). The HRSA Electronic Handbook (EHB) application deadline for
project periods beginning in November and December 2008 has been
changed and the list of available service areas has been updated.
The new EHB application deadline for HRSA-09-095 is May 9, 2008.
(The grants.gov application deadline of April 7, 2008 remains the
same.) All other requirements of HRSA-09-095 remain the same. Please
see the chart on pages 6 and 7 of the guidance for a complete listing
of all application deadlines.
In addition, corrections to two service areas listed in the Service
Area Competition guidance have been made. In Appendix F of the
guidance, Bismarck, ND, is incorrectly listed as an available service
area in fiscal year (FY) 2009. The correct service area that is
currently available in FY 2009 is Beulah, ND. Also, Clay, WV, is
incorrectly listed as an available service area in FY 2009. The correct
service area that is currently available in FY 2009 is Blacksville, WV.
Bismarck, ND and Clay, WV, are not available service areas for the FY
2009 Service Area Competition. For a complete listing of all available
service areas for the FY 2009 Service Area Competition funding
opportunity, please see Appendix F of the guidance.
DATES: The effective date of this amended Agency guidance is April 24,
2008.

supports more than 4,000 health care delivery sites, including

homeless centers, and public housing primary care centers. Health
centers serve clients that are primarily low-income and minorities, and
deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health
care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. Charges
for health care services are set according to income.
