Application for DSHS FY2023 Tuberculosis (TB) State Grant Funding with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)
Submitted For: Candy Blair Submitted By: Christian Jimenez
Department: Health Care  
Request Type: CONSENT

Information
Department Action
Attached for approval is the FY2023 Inter-Local Application and budget for DSHS TB state funds for the one-year grant period 09/01/2022 – 08/31/2023. Total award amount is $299,599.00 to support our county’s TB prevention and control activities. The county match required for the funding is $59,920.00 and will be met by using existing employee personnel salaries. Due to the grant application deadline being 02/22/2022, the application was submitted to DSHS in a timely manner and needs approval.

Once the contract is executed, the Health Department will use the funds towards the salaries of five existing TB program staff members to include a Registered Nurse, (2) Health Care Analysts, a TB Outreach worker, and a Medical Assistant. In addition, the FY2023 DSHS TB funding allows for the addition of (1) new Functional Analyst position which will have a critical role in supporting the TB program. This position is in critical need for the program to continue to meet its reporting requirements and is requested to be included in the Health Department’s FY2023 general budget. If approved in this grant’s application, this would offset the need for the Health Department's budget request and eliminate the fiscal impact to the Health Department since this is a no-cost grant award to the county.
 
Other program costs such as mileage travel for training, and medical supplies are included in the budget for the grant to offset program costs.
 
I respectfully request approval of this contract renewal application.
