On
November 7th and 8th, Hurricane Katrina survivors joined urban planners,
architects, and affordable housing specialists in Baton Rouge to start
planning for the future of New Orleans. The Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) Community Forum on Rebuilding New
Orleans began with a bus tour of low to moderate income neighborhoods in New
Orleans, followed by a day and a half of discussions on housing plans and
affordability, environmental concerns, and economic equity. The forum's
working sessions gave dislocated residents a chance to express their
communities' needs and leading urban policy experts a chance to help lay a
foundation for lasting solutions.

Congress Urges Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to Address Payments for Residency Training at Non-Hospital Sites - More than 65 members of Congress sent a letter this month urging the CMS to extend a moratorium preventing CMS from denying Medicare payments related to resident physicians training in non-hospital settings. After the December 2004 expiration of a one-year moratorium on these payment denials, CMS has refused to provide teaching hospital payments for resident training in non-hospital settings when the supervising physician volunteers his/her time or receives nominal payments from the hospital. The letter also urges CMS to work with Congress to "further study and work together toward a clear and appropriate policy that will define 'all or substantially all' of the costs associated with training residents in non-hospital settings and encourage this valuable service." http://www.aamc.org/advocacy/markmcclellan110905.pdf
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Inspector General Releases 2006 Priorities - HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) has released its fiscal year 2006 "work plan" for all new and ongoing projects involving the health and human services agencies under its jurisdiction. The plan outlines projects that will examine the recipients of federal funds as well as the federal agencies and contractors charged with distributing those funds. Many institutions use this work plan to set compliance priorities. Among the new projects and areas of focus for next year: adjustments for graduate medical education payments; inpatient hospital payments for new technologies; outpatient department payments; implementation of clinical trials data bank; and the monitoring of extramural conflicts of interest at the National Institutes of Health. The OIG will also be devoting considerable effort to projects that examine Medicare Part D administration. http://www.oig.hhs.gov/publications/docs/workplan/2006/WorkPlanFY2006.pdf
Rural to Rural – New Website from the Rural School and Community - The website helps rural communities help other rural schools and communities in the wake of the Katrina and Rita disasters. The site allows rural people from across the country to help rural schools in the regions affected by the hurricane with their specific needs. The Rural Trust staff contacted the rural schools in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, learned of their losses, and helped them build a list of what they need to rebuild or fix their schools -- some of it money, some of it specific things like chairs and desks. A small, rural town in Maine sent a load of lumber to friends in Bogalusa, Louisiana, to use as needed. A group of schools in Vermont partnered with another parish in Louisiana to help fundraise for their needs.

Reproductive and Child Health
Grants –
Deadline: Open - Reproductive health care is the primary health

to safely carry and deliver babies, providing a trained midwife at delivery,
and preventing cervical cancer are examples of the kinds of work supported
by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Grant making is guided by
the principle that in order to achieve lasting, large-scale change,
philanthropic efforts must incorporate strategies to encourage effective
public investment and to leverage private sector market potential. Priority
is given to investments that serve as a catalyst to quicken the pace
of progress, and to efforts whose net effect is to augment, not supplant,
government funding streams.http://www.gatesfoundation.org/GlobalHealth/ReproductiveChildHealth/
