During a National Association of Community Health Center (NACHC) Tele-Town Hall Meeting today, HHS Secretary Sebelius announced that the NAP PIN will be released the week of August 9th to fund 350 new community health centers for FY 2011 with $250 million of the $1 billion new health center dollars made available through the Affordable Care Act.
Additionally, Jim McRae announced that Expanded Medical Capacity PIN will be released “very shortly”. In response to a questioner who asked if IDS funding would continue and come out of the $1 billion Affordable Care Act allocation, Jim responded that it has been included in the “administration’s budget” but it still unknown.
As soon as the NAP is released, it will be available on this website or www.hrsa.gov.

For those health care organizations that want to take advantage of the new health reform funding for the FQHC Section 330 program, SGA has heard the next opportunity will occur in late July 2010 or early August 2010. HRSA will release a Policy Information Notice (PIN) that will contain the NAP application. We have also heard the application will be due in November, allowing a full 3 months to complete. That is the good news.
The bad news is that we have also heard that HRSA will not notify new grantees of their award until August 2011, meaning the soonest a new entity may access grant funding (and enhanced Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement) will be in the fall 2011.
