Maryland Medical Group and the Johns Hopkins Institutions may each apply for a
Statewide Academic Health Center Public Health Grant in an amount that is equal to
$1,500,000 plus any amount that is available under § 13-1115(a)(2)(ii) of the Health -
General Article.
SECTION 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That notwithstanding §
13-1116 of the Health - General Article, in fiscal years 2001, 2002, and 2003, the
Johns Hopkins Institutions may not receive a Statewide Academic Health Center
Cancer Research Grant unless the grant will be used for the following purposes: (1) to
recruit high-quality faculty in the behavioral research, genetic epidemiology, cancer
epidemiology, molecular genetics of cancer, and viral vaccine development fields; (2)
retain high-quality faculty, including clinicians and researchers, who contribute to a
community-focused cancer research program; or (3) cancer surveillance and
epidemiology, including: (i) development of a comprehensive list of cancer-causing
agents; (ii) compilation and mapping of sources of exposure; (iii) a focus on the unique
cultural and other factors related to delays in treatment and lack of success in care
and treatment in underserved urban and rural communities; and (iv) improved
understanding of cancer risk factors and how they impact on the State's unique cancer
statistics. During fiscal years 2001, 2002, and 2003, the Johns Hopkins Institutions
may use no more than two-thirds of the funds received under a Statewide Academic
Health Center Cancer Research Grant for items (1) and (2) of this section. As a
condition of receiving a Statewide Academic Health Center Cancer Research Grant,
the Johns Hopkins Institutions shall agree to use any applicable information obtained
under item (3) of this section to enhance the Maryland Cancer Registry. In order to
receive a Statewide Academic Health Center Cancer Research Grant in fiscal years
2001, 2002, and 2003, the Johns Hopkins Institutions shall comply with the grant
application requirements of § 13-1116 of the Health - General Article. However, during

the Health - General Article shall be modified by the Department as necessary to
reflect the requirements of this section.

13-1117 of the Health - General Article, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
may not distribute a Statewide Academic Health Center Tobacco-Related Diseases
Research Grant in fiscal year 2001. In subsequent fiscal years, the Department may
distribute a Statewide Academic Health Center Tobacco-Related Diseases Research
Grant only if funds are specifically allocated for this purpose in the State budget. It is
the intent of the General Assembly that the Governor include funds in the State budget
for fiscal year 2002 that are specifically allocated for this purpose.
SECTION 5. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene may not distribute any grants to the University of Maryland
Medical Group under §§ 13-1114 through 13-1119 of the Health - General Article until
the following entities enter into and submit to the Department a Memorandum of

University of Maryland, Baltimore; (2) the University of Maryland School of Medicine;
(3) and the University of Maryland Medical System Corporation.
