How are the Regional Extension Center budgets structured?
In the first two years, recipients will use federal funding across two categories: core support and direct assistance support. Core support includes such activities as outreach and education, grant and program management, local workforce support, and participation peer-learning and knowledge transfer activities facilitated by the HITRC. Direct assistance support will be used for direct technical assistance to priority primary-care providers, and will be released quarterly based on the number of client providers that have achieved specific milestones within the preceding quarter.
