Footnotes

1. Services provided by a health center are defined at the awardee/designee level, not by individual site. Thus, not all services must be available at every health center service site; rather, health center patients must have reasonable access to the full complement of services offered by the center as a whole, either directly or through formal written established arrangements. Visit the Scope of Project website for further details, including services and column descriptors listed on Form 5A: Services Provided.

2. In accordance with 45 CFR 75.308(c)(1)(i), health centers must request prior approval from HRSA for a “Change in the scope or the objective of the project or program (even if there is no associated budget revision requiring prior written approval).” This prior approval requirement applies to the addition or deletion of a service site. These changes require prior approval from HRSA and must be submitted by the health center as a formal Change in Scope request. Visit the Scope of Project website for further details.
