ONC posts Slides/Transcript on Regional Extension Centers Technical Call
Accessed on November 5, 2009, ONC posted the transcript and slides from the October 15, 2009  technical assistance call about the Regional Extension Center grant program. With final first-round applications due November 3, 2009 to those who received initial okay from their preliminary applications, the ONC expects to fund 20 to 25 centers according to the transcript. Awards for the first round are expected to be notified on December 11, 2009. Preliminary applications for the second round are due December 22, 2009. According to the transcript, ONC hopes to provide comments to those rejected ahead of that second round deadline, but encourages those rejected to apply again whether or not they have gotten specific comments back on the basis of their rejection.

ONC expects to soon post a list of those 11 REC applicants who have specifically requested they be posted on ONC site, and add others as those REC applicants request it. Meanwhile, e-Healthcare Marketing has posted several applicants that have been publicized, and will be accumulating a list of those from published accounts. Please add locations of those accounts in the comments section or send an email to the address listed in the About section of e-Healthcare Marketing.
