Justification: This non-competitive supplement will award $265,188
to New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation to fund the New York
City Poison Control Center (NYCPCC) to provide coverage of calls to the
toll-free Poison Help line originating from Puerto Rico from September
1, 2024, through August 31, 2025. The Poison Control Program ensures
that individuals can call a national toll-free Poison Help line (1-800-
222-1222) to connect to a local poison control center in a poisoning
emergency. As required by statute, calls to the Poison Help line must
be directed to poison control centers that are accredited. In the most
recent Notice of Funding Opportunity, HRSA-24-045, no application was
received to respond to calls from Puerto Rico. To ensure uninterrupted
poison control center coverage for Puerto Rico, HRSA identified NYCPCC
as an accredited center that is capable of responding to Puerto Rico's
approximately 5,000 calls annually. NYCPCC historically has been able
to provide temporary coverage for Puerto Rico's calls on an ad hoc
basis and has the qualifications, experience, and personnel to do so on
a longer-term basis. Funds will be used for project activities within
the scope of the current award (as announced in HRSA-24-045);
supplemental funds will support NYCPCC to provide coverage to calls to
the Poison Help line originating from Puerto Rico for a period of 1
year. Future funds for coverage for Puerto Rico may be made available
in a Notice of Funding Opportunity for a project period of September 1,
2025, to August 31, 2028, subject to the availability of funding for
the activity.
