Healthy Tomorrows FAQs

For new applications, grantees need to be register with Grants.gov. This is a requirement for new application submissions. To register, visit Grants.gov. Grantees will no longer have to submit information about their non-competing continuation applications in Grants.gov. The application will be submitted entirely in the Electronic Handbooks. For assistance with registration, contact the help desk or by phone at (800) 518-4726.

Post-Award Performance Reports are due 120 days after the close of the grant year, which is usually the end of February. The final-year Performance Report is due 90 days after the official end of the project period for the Healthy Tomorrows grant.

2. If you submitted your new grant electronically, review the data you provided on the financial forms and make any changes based on the notice of grant award and other changes as approved by your Federal MCHB Project Officer.

3. If you submitted your new grant electronically, review the information provided in the abstract (Form 6 or 8) and the project summary data form (Form 7) and make any changes that were approved by your Federal MCHB Project Officer.

The Financial Status Report is due to HRSA no later than 90 days after the completion of the budget period. The budget period for HTPCP grants is March 1 - Feb 28.

Requests to carryover unobligated balances should be submitted electronically as Prior Approval requests in EHB with the Federal Financial Report (FFR) within 90 days after the completion of the budget period. The Federal Financial Report form SF 425 consolidates two previously used forms, the Payment Management System Quarterly Report form, PSC 272, and the Financial Status Report, SF 269. If there is no carryover request at the time of FFR submission, you have 30 days to submit the request electronically in EHB. This request still must be submitted within 90 days after the completion of the budget period. You may request a carryover if you have unspent funds from the previous funding period that you wish to spend in the current funding period. Carryover requests may only be submitted from the previous year's budget funds to spend in the current budget year. 

If you have additional questions, please contact your Grants Management Specialist. The name and contact information for your Grants Management Specialist is listed on Page 2 of your Notice of Grant Award.

Submit a prior approval request in EHB. The prior approval request is a request initiated by the grantee to change grant related information. In the past these requests were submitted on paper or via email. Prior approval requests include project director change, carryover of unobligated balances, extension of project period with or without funds, re-budgeting administrative supplements, and other changes such as grantee names or deviation from terms. 

The project director or other user with administrator or grant users privileges in the grant handbook will manage user privileges for prior approval requests. Grantee users with privileges to edit or submit prior approval requests in the grant handbook will log into the EHBs and begin the request. The grantee will complete required forms in the fields and the Web based form then upload completed required documents as attachments in the EHB. 

Once all required fields have been completed and validated and all documents have been uploaded into the EHBs the grantee will submit the request to HRSA. HRSA program and grants office personnel will review the request and either approve, disapprove or request more information. Grantee users will receive an electronic notification of HRSA's decision. If the request is returned for changes make the appropriate changes and resubmit the request through the EHB. Once the request is approved HRSA will complete the process and deliver any related documentation such as a revised Notice of Grant award or NGA.
