DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Discretionary Grant Program
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Health and
Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of Single-Source Replacement Award to the Michigan
Public Health Institute.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA will be transferring the Michigan Family-to-Family Health
Information Center (F2F HIC) grant (H84MC09365) from the Family Center
for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (FCCYSHCN) in
Detroit, Michigan, to the Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) in
Okemos, Michigan, to ensure the continued provision of health
resources, financing, related services, and parent-to-parent support
for families with children and youth with special health care needs
(CYSHCN) in the state of Michigan.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Former Grantee of Record: Family Center for
Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs.
Original Grant Period: June 1, 2008, to May 31, 2013.
Replacement Awardee: The Michigan Public Health Institute.
Amount of Replacement Award: Up to $95,700 for the remainder of the
project period.
Period of Replacement Award: May 1, 2013, to May 31, 2013.
Authority: Section 501(c)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act, as
amended.
CFDA Number: 93.504.
Justification: The former grantee, FCCYSHCN, has relinquished the
F2F HIC grant due to internal oversight decisions. The former grantee
has requested that HRSA transfer the F2F HIC funds to a Michigan-based
family services agency in order to implement and carry out grant
activities originally proposed under the FCCYSHCN grant application.
The MPHI was chosen as the best qualified grantee for this
replacement award due to its capacity to provide an array of services
to the target population and its record of compliance and sound fiscal
management with other HHS grants. The MPHI has demonstrated its ability
to successfully implement the goals and objectives of the F2F HIC
project.
It is critical that the MPHI continue helping families of CYSHCN
gain access to information they need to make informed health care
decisions, be full partners in decision-making, and access needed
resources/referrals and financing for those services in the state of
Michigan. It is also imperative that the center continues to train and
support health care providers and other professionals in public and
private agencies who serve Michigan's CYSHCN, helping them better
understand the needs of children, youth, and their families.
This replacement award will ensure that an F2F HIC will be
accessible to families and professionals to continue providing
essential information and referral and support services to families
with CYSHCN throughout Michigan in a manner which avoids any disruption
of services.
