its own application criteria and process:

	Health Safety Net grants;
	Children's Health Project Connect grants;
	Medication Access RxRelief Virginia grants; and
	Mental Health grants funded through a new initiative, A New Lease on Life: Health for Virginians with Mental Illness.

Children's Health, Medication Access and A New Lease on Life grants:

Grants for Children's Health initiatives, Medication Access programs and A New Lease on Life: Health for Virginians with Mental Illness are awarded only in response to periodic requests for proposal.  For more information on those initiatives, visit the Children's Health, Medication Access and Mental Health areas of the VHCF website.
