|---|---|---|
| Nov 4, 2024 3:28 PM | What is the desired use / intent of the EIS dollars given the SPOTS funding in 2025? Can you provide examples of what you have funded or would consider funding under this category? | Iowa Ryan White Part B does not anticipate awarding any funding in the EIS line item for the 2025-2026 grant year since previously funded EIS activities will be funded through the SPOTS grant moving forward. The line item will remain open in case future funding needs arise in this category. |
| Nov 4, 2024 3:30 PM | The RFA states that for Mental Health and Oral Health that services must be provided by a "professional licensed or authorized within the state of Iowa to render such services." If a RWPB client receives services licensed in a neighboring state, only licenesed in the neighboring state, is this allowable? | In order for the expense to be allowable, the provider needs to be licensed within the state they are providing services in. Therefore, if an Iowa client is receiving services in a neighboring state, the expense would be allowable if the provider is licensed in that state. As a reminder, services must be provided by an in-network provider unless services could not reasonably be obtained from an in-network provider. An exception to policy must be obtained in order to pay for out-of-network provider costs. |
| Nov 12, 2024 3:49 PM | If we can't secure a draft of the FY25 subcontract from our institution, is there any alternative documentation that can be submitted? | If a draft subcontract cannot by obtained at the time you submit your RFA, alternatives can be discussed during the negotiation process. |
