42 U.S.C. § 300ee–3 — Continuing education for health care providers

(a) In general The Secretary may make grants to nonprofit organizations made up of, or representing, health care providers. The grants help pay for projects that train those providers on: (1) infection-control methods to reduce the spread of the AIDS virus, and (2) how to care for and treat people who have AIDS or related illnesses. (b) Limitation The Secretary may only grant money under subsection (a) to a group that will serve a geographic area, or population, not already served by a substantially similar program. (c) Requirement of matching funds (1) The Secretary can't make a grant unless the applicant agrees to provide non-federal contributions -- cash or in-kind -- worth at least $2 for every $1 of federal grant money, toward the costs the grant covers. (2) Those non-federal contributions can be cash or in-kind items (like equipment, facilities, or services), fairly valued. But money the federal government provided, or services the federal government significantly funded or subsidized, can't count toward this match. (d) Requirement of application The Secretary can't make a grant unless: (1) an application is submitted; (2) the application gives assurances of compliance that satisfy the Secretary; and (3) the application is in whatever form, made in whatever manner, and contains whatever agreements, assurances, and information the Secretary decides are necessary. (e) Authorization of appropriations Whatever sums are necessary are authorized to be appropriated for this section, for each of fiscal years 1989 through 1991.
