💡 Tips for applicants
- Contact the NY Department of Health early to clarify individual eligibility and credential requirements for your profession. This reduces application risk.
- Use the 36-month project period to plan sustainable service expansion. Show long-term impact, not just immediate implementation.

⚠️ Common mistakes
Failing to verify individual eligibility requirements before submitting; many assume "individual" applicants are eligible without checking credential or licensing requirements. Submitting generic project descriptions without local needs data; funders want evidence of specific primary care gaps. Underestimating the 36-month budget scope; incomplete or poorly justified multiyear costs weaken applications.
