The Department of Health Wadsworth Center, New York State Genetic Services Program is seeking approval to extend the current 24 contractors (see attached list) for up to another six months, from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014 so as to allow for release of the new Request For Application (RFA), review of the applications and issuance of new contracts that will have a multi-year time frame of July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2019.
