As published in the SAM.gov Assistance Listing.
Eligible applicants include public and private entities, including an Indian tribe or tribal organization (as those terms are defined at 25 U.S.C. 450b), faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. The law limits the site of eligible organizations to the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Although Tribes and tribal organizations may apply, they must meet all applicable requirements, including targeting of all children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) across the State for services. Applicants must have experience related to the “purpose” of the program, the effort must be family-staffed/run, and the effort must have a focus on health for CYSHCN (as defined by the MCH Bureau). For example, if an applicant is a family organization with a history of funding that is condition-specific or related to education, mental health or developmental disabilities, as with any applicant, evidence of health for the broad CYSHCN population must be evident in their application. Applicants MUST demonstrate that they have EXISTING and effective fiduciary, administrative and management systems. If a different fiduciary agency is needed, such as a university, activities must still be family-staffed/run for the entire grant period.
Intended beneficiaries: Unrestricted by Individual Type, Other and Unrestricted by Entity Type.
