(a)  The applicant’s need for funds to continue its current level of operation.

(b)  The applicant’s long-term prospects for financial stability.

(c)  The quality of services provided.

(d)  The high-risk or underserved population groups currently being served by the applicant.

All of the above factors being present, clinics primarily serving population groups determined by the director to be medically underserved shall be entitled to first consideration in the allocation of grant funds.

The department shall adopt guidelines for establishment of grant-supported activities, including criteria for evaluation of each activity and monitoring to assure compliance with grant conditions and applicable regulations of the department. The guidelines shall be developed in consultation with the Primary Care Clinics Advisory Committee and other advisory committees and persons as the department determines are appropriate.
