General Information

As a Grantee, you can initiate a Prior Approval (PA) Request when a current grant award needs updates. As part of the Prior Approval Request, complete budget information on the structured forms in the EHBs. After completing the forms, submit your request to HRSA for review and approval. Examples of changes that can be made to grants include carrying funds over to a new year, an extension with or without additional funds, and approval of draw-down funds.
