For awards under SNAP (other than those to foreign organizations and Federal institutions), the 3-year retention period will be calculated from the date the FSR for the entire competitive segment is submitted. Those grantees must retain the records pertinent to the entire competitive segment for 3 years from the date the FSR is submitted to NIH. Foreign organizations and Federal institutions must retain records for 3 years from the date of submission of the annual FSR to NIH. See 45 CFR 74.53 and 92.42 for exceptions and qualifications to the 3-year retention requirement (e.g., if any litigation, claim, financial management review, or audit is started before the expiration of the 3-year period, the records must be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings involving the records have been resolved and final action taken). Those sections also specify the retention period for other types of grant-related records, including F&A cost proposals and property records. See 45 CFR 74.48 and 92.36 for record retention and access requirements for contracts under grants. In accordance with 45 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 74.53(e), the HHS Inspector General, the U.S. Comptroller General, or any of their duly authorized representatives have the right of timely and unrestricted access to any books, documents, papers, or other records of recipients that are pertinent to awards in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, transcripts, and copies of such documents.

93.938 COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS TO SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAMS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HIV AND OTHER IMPORTANT HEALTH PROBLEMS

(SHEPSA)

FEDERAL AGENCY:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services

AUTHORIZATION:

Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C 241(a) & 243(b).
OBJECTIVES:

To improve the health and well-being of youth and prepare them to be healthy adults.

TYPES OF ASSISTANCE:

PROJECT GRANTS

USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS:

Cooperative Agreement funds may be used to support personnel, purchase equipment, supplies, services, and travel directly related to the program activities and consistent with the scope of this program. Cooperative agreement funds are used to help schools prevent sexual risk behaviors that result in HIV infection, especially among youth who are at highest risk. For example, cooperative agreement recipients implement and integrate effective policies and educational strategies to reduce risk behaviors that lead to HIV infection among youth; implement strategies to reduce disparities among sub-populations of youth disproportionately affected by HIV infection and other health problems related to sexual risk behaviors; evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of strategies to reduce risks for HIV infection among youth in schools for the purposes of programmatic improvement and long-range planning. CDC believes that the specific scope and content of HIV education programs in schools should be locally determined and should be consistent with parental and community values. CDC supports local decision-making by providing sound scientific information to grantees who work directly with schools, communities,

and parents. Funds may be expended for written materials, pictorials, audiovisuals, questionnaires or survey instruments, and educational group sessions related to HIV education for youth, school, and college populations if approved in accordance with the document "Content of AIDS-Related Written Materials, Pictorials, Audiovisuals, Questionnaires, Survey Instruments, and Educational Sessions in Centers for Disease Control Assistance Programs." Cooperative agreement funds are also used to build state education and state health agency partnership and capacity to implement and coordinate school health programs across agencies and within schools. The expected outcome of this effort is to help schools reduce chronic disease risk factors, including tobacco use, poor nutrition, and physical inactivity. For example, cooperative agreement recipients implement and integrate effective policies, environmental changes, and educational strategies to reduce unhealthy behaviors; leverage resources to avoid duplication at the state and local levels; evaluate school health capacity-building efforts while implementing effective strategies to reduce priority health risks. Funds may not be used to conduct research projects, provide direct delivery of patient care or treatment services, and purchase or disseminate condoms. Although public health may have an assurance role in clinical testing and screening, funds are not to be used to provide clinical testing or screening services. Funds may not be used for purchasing computer equipment, office equipment or furnishing, renting or leasing office space, or to support construction or renovation unless specifically approved.
