Return Reference	Monitoring the use of grants in the U.S.	ReturnReference
Explanation	MHA as an assistance to our small and rural hospitals provides a pass-through payment for federal funds. The hospitals work with the massachusetts department of public health (DPH) to secure federal funding to support their quality initiatives. They apply through the DPH for the federal funding and set up a process whereby the funds are directed to MHA to be passed directly to the hospitals to fund their activities. The purpose of this pass-through, as allowed under the federal grant award rules, is to allow for an easier method to move the funding from the federal government to the providers without having to go through a second layer of state financial contracting. MHA is responsible for developing the final action reports to the federal government at the end of the contracting period.	Explanation
