Sec.  56.204  Grant evaluation and award.



    (a) Within the limits of funds determined by the Secretary to be 

available for such purpose, the Secretary may award grants under this 

subpart to applicants therefor which, in his judgment, will provide 

needed health services in a catchment area which will not be served by 

another project funded under this part and meet the applicable 

requirements of section 319(c)(1)(A) of the Act and this part, in 

accordance with priorities established pursuant to section 319(b) of the 

Act and Sec.  56.107 of subpart A of this part; Provided, That in the

to serve substantially the same catchment areas or where available funds 

are insufficient to fund all approvable applications within a priority 

category specified in Sec.  56.107,

    (1) Priority shall be given to applications submitted by community-

based organizations which are representative of the population to be 

served by the project. For purposes of this paragraph, an applicant 

shall be deemed to be such an organization if it provides a formal 

mechanism (such as membership on the organization's governing body or 

membership on an advisory body) which gives migratory seasonal 

agricultural workers and their families significant involvement in the 

formulation of the organization's policies; and

    (2) Where all such applicants are community-based organizations 

representative of the population to be served by the project, the 

Secretary shall award the grant to the applicants which will, in his 

judgment, best promote the purposes of section 319(c)(1)(A) of the Act 

and the applicable regulations of this part, taking into account with 

respect to each application:

    (i) The degree to which the proposed project satisfactorily provides 

for the elements set forth in Sec.  56.203;

    (ii) The administrative and management capability of the applicant;

    (iii) The extent to which community resources will be utilized in 

the project; and

    (iv) The degree to which the applicant intends to integrate services 

supported by a grant under this part with health services provided under 

other federally assisted health services or reimbursement programs or 

projects.

    (b) The Secretary shall award no more than two grants under this 

subpart for the same project.
