         Subpart D_Grants for Venereal Disease Control Programs

 

Sec. 51b.407  How can grant funds be used?



    Grant funds awarded under this subpart may be used only for programs 

approved under section 318(c), and with respect to public information 

and education, those programs approved under section 318(b) of the Act. 

Unless specifically approved, grant funds shall not be used for 

performing diagnostic tests (other than gonorrhea screening tests), 

maintaining central registries, purchasing data processing equipment, or 

providing diagnostic and treatment facilities and services. The 

applicant must provide assurances, however, that these services will be 

available as needed as an adjunct to control program activities 

supported with grant funds. To obtain special approval for grant support 

of such activities, the grantee shall justify the exception to the 

satisfaction of the Secretary that funds for this purpose are necessary 

for the proper conduct of the program and are otherwise unavailable. 

Support of these services will generally be approved only in the 

following situations:

    (a) Special studies or demonstrations, (b) the support of 

developmental or start-up activity, or (c) the support of an essential 

service which will result in a savings to a detection or prevention 

activity supported by the grant. Unless otherwise approved, exceptions 

based on paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section are only allowed during 

one funding period. The grantee is expected to support these activities 

in subsequent funding periods.
