HRSA Grant Application Center
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Rockville,
Maryland
Legin operates the Grants Application Center (GAC)
for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
The GAC have Call Centers that serve as a single
point of contact for potential grantees requesting
application kits and related information concern-ing
specific grants. Both centers duplicate and distribute
thousands of applica-tion materials per year received
from potential grantees. To support the Call Centers
and process the grantee related information, Legin
has designed, deve-loped, and implemented database
systems that track the incoming calls on a daily
basis and track the grantee application packages
through the various steps of the preparation and
distribution process. Legin developed and imple-mented
stringent quality assurance processes and procedures
to ensure the accuracy and security of the application
materials.
Legin manages the HRSA GAC for four (4) Bureaus
and three (3) Offices. Ann-ually, the HRSA GAC receives
and mails 10,000 to 12,000 application kits. The
GAC receives approximately 15,000 competing applications
for grants in response to program announcements
and 3,500 non-competing applications. Legin installed
and operates a Call Center telephone system that
can handle up to 250 calls per hour. Currently,
telephone calls range between 30 to 50 calls per
day. In addition, Legin provides assistance to applicants
in downloading application information from the
Internet. The GAC maintains both hard copy documents
and electronic copies of the grant applications.

DOE as well as 1,600 outside peer reviewers. Legin
tracks all grant data into a secure information
database, and screens documents for processing.
Legin maintains the DOE SBIR mailing list database
of 16,000 small businesses and notifies the mailing
list addressees of the program solicitation announcements
and mails program information including solicitations
to all requestors. Provides assistance in the various
phases of the preparation and distribution of the
program solicitations and abstracts of awarded Phase
I and Phase II grants including posting the documents
and award listings on the SBIR/STTR Web page.

of over 1200 Phase I and over 200 Phase II grant
applications. Legin maintains the DOE SBIR/STTR

that contain records of all SBIR and STTR submissions.
All incoming Phase I and Phase II grant application
submissions are logged in the database and are updated
to reflect the stages and results of the evaluation.
The evaluation process includes mailing over 2200
review packages and monitoring the completion of
the peer review process to assure adherence to the
evaluation schedule. Quality control measures are
incorporated to ensure a fair and impartial competition.
