RM 00058

Request: $6,417,005
Committee Recommendation: $2,500,000

Overall assessment by individual reviewers: _Average

 

Critique: This application requesting $6.4 million for two years, was
reviewed in depth by two reviewers, one of whom had only the written’ word

to study and the other who had been on the site visit two years ago.: Both 7
reviewers were impressed-with the proposed projects that address a real

need in New York--namely, a better network among the clinics and the’ public
and private hospitals. But the reviewer who was a former site visitor was

also impressed with the improvements that had accrued in this program despite
phase-out and other uncertainties--the change in grantee, the quality of staff

‘leadership and the increased functioning of the Regional Advisory Group.

The Committee was concerned about the advisability of initiating projects that
needed at least two years funding which was requested; but they concluded that

-a number of the projects represented the culmination of several years planning

and development, that the projects were needed, and that other sources of funds
may be forthcoming if the initial efforts prove effective. The Committee felt
that additional staff were needed. In consideration of the population served .
by this RMP and their health needs, the quality of the proposed projects and
the improvement in the management and grantee-RAG relationships, the Committee
recommends that this application be approved at.$2.5 million level and that
this region be given a high priority for distribution of funds in the July-
August review. ,
