Going After FQHC Grants:Review Criteria/Scoring Need Response
Impact Resources/Capabilities Support Requested 24. Competitive
Applications New Access Point Grants How is the this area
underserved? Where am I filling in the gap, complimenting other
FQHCs? Building Capacity Grant Program How does
construction/renovation/alteration expand capacity of health center
to increase patient volume? How does included technology support
the space and building capacity objective? Immediate Facility
Improvement What happens to health center operations if you are not
able to carry out projects proposed under IFI? How does proposed
technology connect to IFI project, or how can it be leveraged to
avoid service interruption? 25. Healthcare Human
