What the document says
“The Secretary may award grants, cooperative agreements and contracts and provide technical assistance to eligible entities to carry out subsection (a).”
New section 399H(b)(1) of the Public Health Service Act permits the Secretary to award grants, cooperative agreements and contracts, and to provide technical assistance, to carry out the program in subsection (a).
What the document actually says
“The Secretary may award grants, cooperative agreements and contracts and provide technical assistance to eligible entities to carry out subsection (a).”
That sentence, in plain words
The Secretary can hand out money to do this work. The Secretary can also give help and advice.
What this is about
A grant is money for a job. Some deals mean the government works right beside the group. Technical help is advice, not cash.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
