SUGGESTED DIFFERENTIAL DEFINITIONS OF COMPONENTS ‘OF
REGIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAMS ‘

PROGRAM DIRECTION AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

The central staff which is directly responsible, and the sub-regional

-or area staff which is indirectly responsible, to the chief administrative

officer of the Regional Medical Program (coordinator or director); and
those administrative and professional activities directly related to
carrying out those responsibilities, but not including the contribution,
in time or other costs, to approved and funded specific projects or
studies (as defined below). -

CENTRAL REGIONAL RESOURCE

 

Program components which are required for the development and support

of the Regional Medical Program, as approved, and which will continue

to require grant funds as their principal means of support for as long

as they serve the Program of which they are a part. This category can
inelude program evaluation units, data collection and processing resources ,
etc., as well as service activities designed for inmediate response to

a regional need (as opposed to establishment of permanent staff services
to meet continuing needs).

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Specifically definable planning activities which require a separate
allocation of funds for a sub-contract or other "purchase" of a planning
eapability or resource, which are time limited and intended to lead to
the development of one or more projects. These are sometimes administered
by the central staff, put do not require a permanent increase in staff

or represent a continuing cost to the Regional Medical Program.

OPERATIONAL PROJECTS

 

. Time-limited activities which, when completed, can be shown to have. . .

. Identified and met a continuing need in the Region
so that it can be expected to receive future support
from local funding resources, or ,

: Defined a program direction to be followed up by a2
new project approach, or have accomplished a short-
term Program goal, and will be terminated.
