42 U.S.C. § 300ff–54 — Miscellaneous provisions

(a) Services for individuals with hemophilia — When funding early intervention services for people with hemophilia under section 300ff–51, the Secretary must channel those grants through the network of comprehensive hemophilia diagnostic and treatment centers. (b) Technical assistance — The Secretary may, directly or through grants or contracts, help nonprofit private entities apply for grants under section 300ff–51, and may help with the planning, development, and operation of programs run under that section. (c) Planning and development grants — The Secretary may give planning grants to public and nonprofit private entities to help them start providing early intervention services, or to expand their capacity to provide HIV/AIDS-related health services in low-income communities and underserved subpopulations — but this money cannot buy or improve land, or build or substantially improve (beyond minor remodeling) any building or facility. The Secretary can only award this money if the entity will use it to help qualify for a section 300ff–51 grant, and must give preference to entities providing primary care in rural areas or to underserved populations. An early-intervention-services planning grant cannot exceed $50,000; a capacity-development grant cannot exceed $150,000, and cannot run — including any renewal — for more than three years total. No more than 5 percent of the money appropriated each year under section 300ff–55 may be used to carry out this whole section.
