New Access Points (NAP) funding supports new health center service delivery sites that expand primary health care for underserved communities. We plan to make NAP awards in fiscal year (FY) 2025, if funding is available.
Phase 1 of NAP applications are due in Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. ET this FRIDAY (August 30). Phase 2 is due in HRSA's Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, September 30. You must submit in both Grants.gov and EHBs for your application to be considered.
The NAP technical assistance (TA) webpage has applicant resources. We will respond to your questions through the BPHC Contact Form.
Here are some common questions and answers that we will post (soon, shortly) on the NAP FAQ webpage.
-
How do I complete the SF-424 in Grants.gov if I have a current H80 award?You are applying as a satellite. For Type of Applicant (Box 2), you will check the "Revision" box, select "Other," and then type "Supplement." In Box 5b, enter your H80 grant number.
-
Should I include my current Health Center Program (H80) budget in my NAP budget?
No. The NAP budget should only include the revenue and expenses related to your proposed NAP project. This includes costs that will be charged to the NAP award and non-federal funds you plan to use to support the project. For example, include only personnel that support sites proposed on Form 5B: Service Sites in your NAP application. See the SF-424A (PDF) and Sample Budget Narrative resources on the NAP TA webpage for more information.
-
What address and service area do I use for a mobile site?
On Form 5B: Service Sites, list the address where you will park the mobile unit overnight. It can be parked at a site that is already in your scope of project. Also on Form 5B, you will enter the ZIP codes for the area that the mobile unit will serve (where most of your patients will come from). You do not have to include the ZIP code where the mobile unit is parked overnight if you will not use the mobile unit to serve patients in that ZIP code.
-
Do I have to include documentation in Attachment 12 if I propose a mobile site?
If the address for the mobile unit is within 1 mile of another health center's service site, you will need to provide the extra documentation detailed on pages 38-40 of the NAP NOFO (PDF) in Attachment 12. You do not need to provide extra documentation if the only sites within 1 mile of where your mobile unit is parked are your own sites. Based on your service area ZIP codes on Form 5B, if the Health Center Program serves 50% or more of the low-income population in your proposed service area, you will need to provide the extra documentation in Attachment 12.
-
What can I do if I submit my application in EHBs, and then realize I need to make a change?
If you submit your application early in EHBs, you may reopen and revise your application before the EHBs deadline. The EHBs Knowledge Base provides step-by-step instructions on the Reopen Submitted Applications webpage. Remember you must resubmit the reopened application in EHBs by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, September 30.
