Funds shall be used for the support of faculty, interns, residents and other employees; for supplies, equipment and incidental expenses as may be needed for the program; and for construction and renovation of new family practice offices utilized in approved programs. Applications also may be submitted to the Department of Health by an approved family practice residency program or an approved general rotating internship program or by a hospital to request funds for planning of a family practice residency program or a general rotating internship program.

(2) Applicants may obtain application forms and instructions from the director of the Missouri Department of Health. The deadline for submission of the completed applications will be at the discretion of the director of the Department of Health annually.

(3) Approval of any application will be based on an analysis of these factors-the potential effectiveness of the proposed project in carrying out activities authorized in section 191.585, RSMo (1987); the extent of responsiveness to the project requirements, guidelines and application requirements; the administrative and management capability of the applicant to carry out the proposed project in a cost-effective manner; and the qualifications of the proposed staff and faculty of the unit.

(5) One (1) year following receipt of each grant award the recipient organization shall provide the Missouri Department of Health a written narrative status evaluation of the program for which the grant was received.
