SUBJECT: Inquiries Regarding Arthritis Activities and Funding

Due to repeated inquiry from the regions, I feel that we need an answer
for the following questions:

1. Can a region which competes for the $4.5 earmarked arthritis
dollars and which receives approval of the proposed activity
but is allocated either insufficient funding or no funding, then
include the approved activity in its subsequent applications for —
FY 75 funds?

2. Can a region which has determined arthritis activities to be one
of its targets, include such activities which have been through
the local review process as a part of their regular applications
for FY 75 funds?

3, If the answer to #2 is affirmative, would such proposals be
separated out of the regular applications for review by the ad
hoc national reviewers assembled for review of applications for
eaymarked funds? This could be managed well for the May 1 submissions,
but what would be the procedures for the July applications?
