BOARD OF TRUSTEES

(June 15

Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, none; absent, Mr. Neal, Governor Thompson. Subcontract with St. Anthony Hospital (AHES), Medical Center

(22) On October 18, 1972, the Board of Trustees approved a contract between the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the University of Illinois to establish an Area Health Education System (AHES) in four Illinois planning regions. Under the terms of that contract, expenses incurred by the University for this purpose are reimbursable. In implementing the agreement, the board has approved several subcontracts with other organizations within the state. The chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended that a subcontract be executed during FY 1978 with St. Anthony Hospital, Rockford, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $19,000. The contract would specify that: 1. St. Anthony Hospital will plan, develop, and implement an emergency medical technician (paramedic) training program at Rockford. 2. St. Anthony will employ a full-time coordinator to direct the program, including selection of students, scheduling of classes, assignment of instructors, coordination of examinations, and evaluation of students. On July 21, 1976, the board authorized such a subcontract with St. Anthony Hospital for FY 1977, but the authority was not exercised because of a delay in the approval to use federal funds. Funds are available from the current contract with the federal government. Approval by federal officials has been requested. The vice president for administration and the vice president for academic affairs concur. I recommend approval, subject to approval of appropriate federal officials.

Subcontract with Carle Foundation Hospital (AHES), Medical Center

(23) On October 15, 1975, the Board of Trustees approved an agreement with the Carle Foundation Hospital, Urbana, Illinois, to develop a family practice residency program under the Area Health Education System contract. The authority to implement the agreement was not used in FY 1976 due to unforeseen delays. The dean of the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana-Champaign now has requested approval of a subcontract, under which the Carle Foundation Hospital provides up to 960 hours of professional services for graduate medical education program development for the period January 1, 1977, through June 30, 1977.1 The hospital will be reimbursed in an amount not to exceed $21,600. The chancellor at the Medical Center campus has recommended approval by the board in order to permit disbursement of funds to the Carle Foundation Hospital for services rendered. Federal funds are available from the Area Health Education System contract.

1 Carle t Foundation Hospital has been performing services for the University since January 1, 1977, without,a contract, but with the expectation of payment. Prior approval to execute an agreement covering the current arrangement was not sought because the project was erroneously classified as a research subcontract, which (under a March 12, 1959, action of the board) does not require board approval in advance.
