                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec. 51c.106  Amount of grant.



    (a) The amount of any award under this part will be determined by 

the Secretary on the basis of his estimate of the sum necessary for a 

designated portion of direct project costs plus an additional amount for 

indirect costs, if any, which will be calculated by the Secretary 

either:

    (1) On the basis of the estimate of the actual indirect costs 

reasonably related to the project; or

    (2) On the basis of a percentage of all, or a portion of, the 

estimated direct costs of the project when there are reasonable 

assurances that the use of such percentage will not exceed the 

approximate actual indirect costs. Such award may include an estimated 

provisional amount for indirect costs or for designated direct costs 

(such as fringe benefit rates) subject to upward (within the limits of 

available funds) as well as downward adjustments to actual costs when 

the amount properly expended by the grantee for provisional items has 

been determined by the Secretary: Provided, however, That no grant shall 

be made for an amount in excess of the total cost found necessary by the 

Secretary to carry out the project.

    (i) In determining the percentage of project costs to be borne by 

the grantee, factors which the Secretary will take into consideration 

will include the following:

    (A) The ability of the grantee to finance its share of project costs 

from non-Federal sources;

    (B) The need in the area served by the project for the services to 

be provided; and

    (C) The extent to which the project will provide services in an 

innovative manner which the Secretary desires to stimulate in the 

interest of developing more effective health service delivery systems on 

a regional or national basis.

    (ii) At any time after approval of an application under this part, 

the Secretary may retroactively agree to a percentage of project costs 

to be borne by the grantee lower than that determined pursuant to 

paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section where he finds that changed 

circumstances justify a smaller contribution.

    (iii) In determining the grantee's share of project costs, costs 

borne by Federal grant funds, or costs used to match other Federal 

grants, may not be included except as otherwise provided by law or 

regulations.

    (b) All grant awards shall be in writing, and shall set forth the 

amount of funds granted and the period for which support is recommended.

    (c) Neither the approval of any proj ect nor any grant award shall 

commit or obligate the United States in any way to make any additional, 

supplemental, continuation, or other award with respect to any approved 

project or portion thereof. For continuation support, grantees must make 

separate application.
