   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.
