The Secretary may grant money to nonprofit health-provider groups, to train providers in AIDS infection control and care. A grant only goes to groups serving an area or population not already covered by a similar program. Grantees must match every federal dollar with two non-federal dollars, and must submit an approved application.
(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.
The Secretary* of Health and Human Services (hereafter in this section referred to as the “Secretary”) may make grants to nonprofit organizations composed of, or representing, health care providers to assist in the payment of the costs of projects to train such providers concerning—
appropriate infection control procedures to reduce the transmission of the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome; and
the provision of care and treatment* to individuals with such syndrome or related illnesses.
The Secretary may make a grant under subsection (a) to an entity only if the entity will provide services under the grant in a geographic area, or to a population of individuals, not served by a program substantially similar to the program described in subsection (a).
The Secretary may not make a grant under subsection (a) unless the applicant for the grant agrees, with respect to the costs to be incurred by the applicant in carrying out the purpose described in such subsection, to make available, directly or through donations from public or private entities, non-Federal contributions (in cash or in kind under paragraph (2)) toward such costs in an amount equal to not less than $2 for each $1 of Federal funds provided in such payments.
Non-Federal contributions required in paragraph (1) may be in cash or in kind, fairly evaluated, including plant, equipment, or services. Amounts provided by the Federal Government, or services assisted or subsidized to any significant extent by the Federal Government, may not be included in determining the amount of such non-Federal contributions.
The Secretary may not make a grant under subsection (a) unless—
an application for the grant is submitted to the Secretary;
with respect to carrying out the purpose for which the grant is to be made, the application provides assurances of compliance satisfactory to the Secretary; and
the application otherwise is in such form, is made in such manner, and contains such agreements, assurances, and information as the Secretary determines to be necessary to carry out this section.
For the purpose of carrying out this section, there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each of the fiscal years 1989 through 1991.
