L. THE APPLICATION PROCESS

The Application Checklist at Section O of this Bulletin lists every item that must be submitted for an application to be considered complete and is provided to assist applicants in reviewing the completeness of their application. Please note that certain documents must be dated after October 1, 2008, and you must use the current (Fiscal Year 2009) application cycle forms from this Bulletin

The application and the BCRSIS Banking Information Submission (banking form) must be submitted electronically by January 31, 2009 and all applicable items on the Checklist, plus a signed copy of the electronic application and BCRSIS banking form, must be postmarked not later than January 31, 2009. 

To access the online application, go to the following address:  https://lrpbcrs.hrsa.gov/

To access the electronic BCRSIS Banking Information Submission form, go to the following address: HTTPS://NIS.HRSA.GOV/BANKLOGIN.ASPX 

It is the applicant’s responsibility to submit a complete FY 2009 NHSC LRP application. Only applications with all required supporting documentation will be reviewed and processedSubmitted applications lacking all required supporting documentation will be deemed ineligible and will not be considered for a FY 2009 NHSC LRP contract award. 

NHSC LRP awards will be made to qualified applicants according to the funding preferences.  Qualified applicants with disadvantaged background/EFN status will be funded without regard to HPSA score.  Qualified applicants who apply to serve at an approved NHSC community site with a HPSA score of 17 and above will be funded next (on an ongoing basis).  If funding is still available, qualified applicants applying to serve at an approved site with a HPSA score below 17 will be funded, by decreasing HPSA score.  Therefore, it is in the best interest of the NHSC LRP applicant at a site with a HPSA score of 17 or above to submit a complete application as soon as possible.
