           Subpart B_Runaway and Homeless Youth Program Grant

 

Sec. 1351.19  What additional information should an applicant or grantee 

have about a Runaway and Homeless Youth Program grant?



    (a) Several other HHS rules and regulations apply to applicants for 

or recipients of Runaway and Homeless Youth Program grants. These 

include:

    (1) The provisions of 45 CFR part 74 pertaining to the 

Administration of Grants;

    (2) The provisions of 45 CFR part 16, Departmental Grants Appeal 

Process, and the provisions of Informal Grant Appeal Procedures 

(Indirect Costs) in volume 45 CFR part 75;

    (3) The provisions of 45 CFR part 80 and 45 CFR part 81 pertaining 

to nondiscrimination under programs receiving Federal assistance, and 

hearing procedures;

    (4) The provisions of 45 CFR part 84 pertaining to discrimination on 

the basis of handicap;

    (5) The provisions of 45 CFR part 46 pertaining to protection of 

human subjects.

    (b) Several program policies regarding confidentiality of 

information, treatment, conflict of interest and State protection apply 

to recipients of Runaway and Homeless Youth Program grants. These 

include:

    (1) Confidential information. All information including lists of 

names, addresses, photographs, and records of evaluation of individuals 

served by a runaway and homeless youth project shall be confidential and 

shall not be disclosed or transferred to any individual or to any public 

or private agency without written consent of the youth and family. Youth 

served by a runaway and homeless youth project shall have the right to 

review their records; to correct a record or file a statement of 

disagreement; and to be apprised of the individuals who have reviewed 

their records. Procedures shall be established for the training of 

project staff in the protection of these rights and for the secure 

storage of records.

    (2) Medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment. No youth shall 

be subject to medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment without 

the consent of the youth and family unless otherwise permitted by State 

law.

    (3) Conflict of interest. Employees or individuals participating in 

a program or project under the Act shall not use their positions for a 

purpose that is, or gives the appearance of being, motivated by a desire 

for private gain for themselves or others, particularly those with whom 

they have family, business or other ties.

    (4) State law protection. HHS policies regarding confidential 

information and experimentation and treatment shall not apply if HHS 

finds that State law is more protective of the rights of runaway or 

otherwise homeless youth.

    (c) Nothing in the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act or these 

regulations gives the Federal Government control over the staffing and 

personnel decisions regarding individuals hired by a runaway and 

homeless youth project receiving Federal funds.
