NAP Sample Project Work Plan

For your New Access Points (NAP) application, you will complete a work plan in the Project Overview form in the Electronic Handbooks (EHBs).

What to do

Describe the activities that you will conduct over the 1-year period of performance.

Include action steps to:

• Start providing health care at all sites on Form 5B within 120 days of the award start date.
• Have each site open the number of hours per week listed on Form 5B.
• Provide all required and additional services proposed on Form 5A. You must provide mental health and substance use disorder services.
• Finalize formal arrangements for services to be provided by contract or referral.
• Comply with Health Center Program requirements. Use the Compliance Manual and Site Visit Protocol to assess your compliance. If you’re currently compliant, describe actions you’ll take to make sure new sites and services are compliant.

In EHBs, select “Add” to choose your activities under each focus area.

In addition to the required activities, you may select more activities or develop your own to fully outline your work plan.
