We've been working on three Phase 2's here and got the very confusing email from HRSA. One of our department contacts was able to get through to her contact at HRSA and got the following response:

If you've submitted phase 1 grant applications you should have received this warning this morning. It's not clear when decisions will be made regarding changes, or how much additional time will be given to finalize the applications. One the changes they have to deal with is that the reauthorization of the primary care cluster in the health care reform bill utilizes five year grants, rather than three year as is the current practice.

This was from the government contact for STFM ("Teachers in Family Medicine"). We're still scrambling here trying to figure exactly what is affected.

Can anyone in RESADM land shed light on this message just received from
HRSA?  The links don't provide any information about this.

* * * URGENT MESSAGE * * *

Please take no further action on your Phase 2 application. This funding
opportunity announcement will be reissued to reflect changes in the
authorizing legislation as a result of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. As additional information becomes available, it
will be posted on the HRSA internet
(http://www.hrsa.gov/grants/default.htm), as well as the BHPr recovery
website (http://www.bhpr.hrsa.gov/recovery/).
