Expanding COVID-19 Vaccination Funding Applications
Expanding COVID-19 Vaccination Funding Applications
Health centers have until Sunday, January 8, 2023, to submit information about Expanding COVID-19 Vaccination (ECV) planned activities and costs in HRSA’s Electronic Handbooks (EHBs). See the ECV technical assistance (TA) webpage for submission guidance, steps to add your H8G grant to your EHBs portfolio, and other resources. We’ll add recordings of the question and answer session for award recipients and last week’s office hour as soon as we can.
Review the frequently asked questions, which we will continue to update. We will add this question and more this week:
Can I reallocate salaries to ECV from another funding source, in order to support ECV activities?
Because ECV funds are for new and additional COVID-19 vaccination-related activities, you cannot use ECV funds to support COVID-19 vaccination-related activities that are already planned under another funding source. However, if personnel are not working on COVID-19 vaccination-related activities, you may reallocate those salaries to ECV instead of the original funding source (e.g., H8F, H80) to pay those individuals to engage in new or additional COVID-19 vaccination-related activities. Charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. The records must support the distribution of the employee’s salary or wages among specific activities or costs. Your system of internal controls should include processes to review after-the-fact interim charges made to a federal award based on budget estimates (45 CFR §75.430(i)(1)). Please contact your Grants Management Specialist with specific questions related to reallocating salaries.
HRSA’s final ECV office hour is next week. Given the short timeline, attending is the most efficient way for you to get the answers you need.
