          Subpart A_Project Grants for Family Planning Services

 

Sec.  59.7  What criteria will the Department of Health and Human Services 

use to decide which family planning services projects to fund and in what 

amount?



    (a) Within the limits of funds available for these purposes, the 

Secretary may award grants for the establishment and operation of those 

projects which will in the Department's judgment best promote the 

purposes of section 1001 of the Act, taking into account:

    (1) The number of patients, and, in particular, the number of low-

income patients to be served;

    (2) The extent to which family planning services are needed locally;

    (3) The relative need of the applicant;

    (4) The capacity of the applicant to make rapid and effective use of 

the federal assistance;

    (5) The adequacy of the applicant's facilities and staff;

    (6) The relative availability of non-federal resources within the 

community to be served and the degree to which those resources are 

committed to the project; and

    (7) The degree to which the project plan adequately provides for the 

requirements set forth in these regulations.

    (b) The Secretary shall determine the amount of any award on the 

basis of his estimate of the sum necessary for the performance of the 

project. No grant may be made for less than 90 percent of the project's 

costs, as so estimated, unless the grant is to be made for a project 

which was supported, under section 1001, for less than 90 percent of its 

costs in fiscal year 1975. In that case, the grant shall not be for less 

than the percentage of costs covered by the grant in fiscal year 1975.

    (c) No grant may be made for an amount equal to 100 percent for the 

project's estimated costs.
