When Can We Apply for 330 Funds General 330 and FQHC-LA Funding Questions Funding for new and expanded 330 programs depends upon annual congressional appropriations. Funding cycles can vary, however, historically, there have been two NAP and EMC funding cycles each year, one in May and one in December. How Can I Stay Abreast Of 330 Funding Opportunities Each year HRSA releases a preview of anticipated funding opportunities which can be viewed and downloaded at http://www.hrsa.gov/grants/preview/. You can sign up to receive an electronic copy of the preview each time it is released. You can search for federal funding opportunities at http://grants.gov/search/searchHome.do. New 330 funding opportunities will be posted to FACHC’s web site, www.fachc.org. What Steps Should We Take in Preparations for Submitting an Application for 330 Funding All new HRSA applicants are required to be submitted electronically through grants.gov. The process of registering and receiving approval may take up to four weeks. In order to register with Grants.gov, your organization will need a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number. A DUNS number is a unique nine-character identification number provided by the commercial company Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). If your organization is located in the United States, you can request and register for a DUNS number by calling 1-866-705-5711. If your organization is located outside of the United States, you can request and register for a DUNS number online at http://ccr.dnb.com/ccr/pages/CCRSearch.jsp Where Can I find Sample 330 Applications You can view examples of past 330 grant application guidance at http://www.fachc.org/mig_funding_archives1.htm. 330 application guidance is subject to change; therefore these examples should serve only to provide insight into the 330 requirements and criteria, which will change when a new competition is announced. Can We Apply for Both 330 Funding and FQHC-LA designation Yes, organizations may apply for FQHC-LA designation and 330 funding simultaneously. What Factors Should be Considered When Deciding Whether to Apply for FQHC -LA Designation or 330 Funding FQHC-LAs must be fully operational and meet all the FQHC program expectations at the time they submit their application. This includes having all staff, MIS, billing and other systems in place when they apply. Applicants for 330 funding do not necessarily have to have all of these systems in place at the time of their application; however they must have a clear and convincing plan for how they will be fully operational within 120 days of receiving their grant.
