Can grant money be used for treatment or medications such as asthma inhalers?
The guidelines emphasize illness prevention and diagnostic support in order to maximize the benefits allocated to the community through the grants. Hopefully, monies awarded to healthcare groups and facilities will allow those organizations to reallocate their own funds for other necessary programs, such as treatment and medications. For example, if a hospital is granted funds for an air filtration system, they could use their budget to provide treatment programs. If project proponents creatively include treatment or medication aspects to their projects and still meet the requirements of the guidelines, these projects will be considered for funding.
