Proposed Project: Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) Application Forms: (OMB No. 0915-0285)—Revisions

HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care administers grants to Health Centers receiving funding under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and has an approval process for organizations seeking to qualify as Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look Alikes. These Health Centers and FQHC Look Alikes provide preventive and primary health care services to low-income and other vulnerable populations, regardless of their ability to pay and whether or not they have health insurance. Many Health Centers and FQHC Look-Alikes offer dental, mental health and substance abuse care.

HRSA uses the following application forms to administer Section 330 Health Centers grants and the FQHC Look Alike application process. These application forms are used by new and existing Health Centers and FQHC Look-Alikes to apply for grant and non-grant opportunities, renew their grant or non-grant opportunities or change their scope of project.

Estimates of annualized reporting burden are as follows:
