Viral Hepatitis Prevention and Control

Funds may be used for costs associated with establishing and maintaining a prevention and control program directed towards prevention of viral hepatitis infections and their manifestations. Recipients may only expend funds for reasonable policies, systems and program purposes including personnel, travel, supplies and services, such as reducing transmission of HAV, HBV and HCV, preventing and delaying the progress of chronic infection, as well as educating and training of the general public and health care providers. Recipients may not use funds for clinical care. Recipients may not generally use funding for the purchase of furniture or equipment. Any such proposed spending must be identified in the budget. The recipient must perform a substantial role in carrying out project objectives and not merely serve as a conduit for an award in another party or provider who is eligible.
