PART 56--GRANTS FOR MIGRANT HEALTH SERVICES--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart B--Grants for Planning and Developing Migrant Health Centers
 
Sec. 56.203  Project elements.

    A project for planning and developing a migrant health center 
supported under this subpart must:
    (a) Determine (by survey or other appropriate means) the approximate 
number of (1) migratory agricultural workers and the members of their 
families, and (2) seasonal agricultural workers and the members of their 
families, within the proposed catchment area in the calendar year in 
which the grant is made and the period of time these workers and their 
families reside in the catchment area during such year.
    (b) Prepare an assessment of the need of the population proposed to 
be served by the migrant health center for the services set forth in 
Sec. 56.102(g)(1) of subpart A of this part. This assessment of need 
must, at a minimum, include the factors listed in Sec. 56.104(b)(3) (i)-
(iv).
    (c) Design a migrant health center program for such population, 
based on the assessment prepared pursuant to paragraph (b) of this 
section which indicates in detail how the proposed center will fulfill 
the needs identified in that assessment and meet the requirements of 
subpart C of this part.
    (d) Develop a plan for the implementation of the program designed 
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section. This implementation plan must 
provide for the time-phased recruitment and training of the personnel 
essential for the operation of a migrant health center and the gradual 
assumption of operational status of the project so that the project 
will, in the judgment of the Secretary, meet the requirements contained 
in subpart C of this part by the end of the project period.
    (e) Implement the plan developed pursuant to paragraph (d) of this 
section in accordance with such paragraph.
    (f) Make efforts to secure within the proposed catchment area of 
such center, to the extent possible, financial and professional 
assistance and support for the project.
    (g) Initiate and encourage continuing community involvement in the 
development and operation of the project through, for example, 
contributions or loans of cash, services, equipment, full-or part-time 
staff, space, materials, or facilities.
    (h) Provide for sufficient staff, qualified by training and 
experience, to carry out the project and establish standards and 
qualifications for personnel (including the project director).
    (i) Utilize, to the maximum extent feasible, other Federal, State, 
local, and private resources available for support of the project, prior 
to use of project funds under this subpart.
    (j) Provide the means for evaluating the project's progress in 
achievement of its specific objectives, and submit such progress reports 
on the project as the Secretary may from time to time request.
