| Submitted Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 19, 2024 1:25 PM | On the Core membership workbook, under the hospital tab it asks about Health Care Associated Infections (HAI) Coordinator. Can you clarify if this is for their individual facility or for the coalition? | In regard to the HAI contact in the membership workbooks, it is not required that each facility list the HAI contact - as they are already listed in EMResource. But the workbook does ask if the main and secondary contact listed for each hospital is also the HAI contact. This question can simply be marked as yes or no. Unrelated to this application, the HAI contact for each hospital must be provided in EMResource, and must be updated within 10 days of a change in personnel. |
| Jan 6, 2025 2:26 PM | Within the public health budget justification do we need to list each service area member who may submit staff time in the personnel tab or can we submit a lump sum for service area members? For example, $20,000 for service area public health agencies. | Within the Personnel tab of each of the 3 budget justification workbooks (CRI, EMS, & PHEP), the applicant should list each person that will be funded from the grant. All detail shall reside in these budget justification workbooks. When the budget justification workbooks are complete, summary information from the Budget Summary tab shall be entered into the IowaGrants portion of the application titled “PHEP, EMS, CRI Preparedness Budget”. No justification shall be required in IowaGrants if the budget justification workbooks are filled out completely. |
| Jan 7, 2025 10:39 AM | Are the limitations on indirects applicable to respondents of the RFP? | See Section 2 of the RFP. Specifically, 2.04 near the bottom of Page 31. Item B Cost Restrictions discusses limits on Indirect and Administrative Costs. |
