Memorandum
Assumptions: The proposed legislation provides no funding source for the grant awards that will be designed and implemented in conjunction with the Coalition and Clinical Advisory Team. Until the grant program is designed and recommendations of the Coalition and Clinical Advisory team are incorporated, a projection of needed resources is not feasible.
Additionally, the impact of evaluation requirements for community initiatives should be considered as well. Typically, evaluation is funded at 10% of the overall award. These costs would need to be anticipated and built into funding sources identified by the Advisory Team. Additional funding may be needed in future years to implement activities in the state plan and to implement the lessons learned from the demonstration projects and to support evaluation of programming moving forward.
