Technical Assistance for Health Grants Act

HR 4874, the Technical Assistance for Health Grants Act, requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide tailored technical assistance to entities applying for or managing health grants under Section 2008 of the Social Security Act. It specifically mandates support for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, territories, and grantees running demonstration projects, including peer conferences and information sharing on best practices. The bill allocates $15 million for fiscal year 2024 to fund this assistance and requires annual reports to Congress on the nature of support provided. This law directly affects health grant recipients and aims to improve their ability to apply for, administer, and share knowledge about grant-funded projects. The changes take effect October 1, 2023.
