FOR COMPETITIVE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES [i.e. Service Area Competition but not
budget renewals]:
As a result of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, applicants located
in counties or parishes in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi that have been
designated by either FEMA or the state Governor as "designated counties" for the
purposes of disaster assistance are automatically granted a deadline extension
for competitive funding opportunities until November 30, 2005 at 5:00 PM ET.
Other applicants who believe they have been adversely affected by Katrina and
will be unable to complete and submit a timely application should send a request
for an extension to Gail Lipton at glipton@... <mailto:glipton@...>.
These requests, which will be handled on an individual basis, should include the
guidance number, the location of the applicant, and specific information which
indicates why the agency is unable to meet the published deadline.
Note that applications will need to be submitted on paper to the HRSA Grants
Application Center address indicated in the guidance; electronic applications
past the initial deadline will not be accepted.
