September 8, 1970 - Vol. 4, No. 36S

 

A copy of GUIDELINES For Multi-Program Services Project Grants -
Regional Medical Programs Service is attached. “As noted in Section! ...

 

 

"The addition of Section 910 to Public Law 90-574,
the first extension of Public Law 89-239 which
established Regional Medical Programs, provided
a new grant authority designed to promote
interregional cooperation and facilitate the
funding of services needed by, or of substantial
use to, any two or more Regional Medical Programs."

Since both the legislation for extension of Regional Medical Programs
and the appropriations legislation for FY 1971 are still under consideration
by the Congress, it is not possible to know the extent to which it will be
possible to allocate grant funds for Milti-Program Services Project Grants;
nor to specifically identify the "areas of national concerns, needs, and
priorities" discussed under Purposes on page 2 in the Guidelines.
