Version History
| Version | Modification Description | Updated Date |
|---|---|---|
| Amendment I: Additional Updates The purpose of this amendment is to include the updates as listed below. •Any applicant who downloaded the application package prior to March 24, 2021 (3/24/2021) must restart their application package due to a mandatory update to the HHS Checklist in the required application package forms in Grants.gov. Restarting the application process is required because the HHS Checklist will be removed from the application package on March 24, 2021. NOTE: Once the applicant logs into Workspace, there will be a warning informing them that the application forms have changed for the NOFO they are applying for. •Applicants should also note that implementation and enforcement of the PLGHA Standard Provision is waived effective immediately. This change is due to the Presidential Memorandum, “Memorandum on Protecting Women’s Health at Home and Abroad,” signed on January 28, 2021, which revoked the January 23, 2017, Presidential Memorandum implementing the PLGHA policy, and thereby rescinded the PLGHA Policy. Accordingly, CDC confirms that the Funding Restriction referring to the United States Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, and the Administrative and National Policy Requirement AR-35: Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance, which were included in the original publication, have been removed and are no longer applicable to this NOFO. •Applicants should also note that a Letter of Intent (LOI) is not requested or required as part of the application for this NOFO. Applicants do not need to submit an LOI. |
