Part F Special Projects of National Significance Program
Cooperative Agreement Under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of Non-Competitive Supplemental Award of the Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program Part F Funds for the Special Projects of National
Significance (SPNS) Program's Enhancing Linkages to HIV Care and
Treatment in Jail Settings Initiative, Demonstration Sites. This
supplement will cover the time period from September 1, 2011, through
August 31, 2012.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Federal Register notice announces the non-competitive
extension with funds of the Enhancing Linkages to HIV Care and
Treatment in Jail Settings Initiative, Demonstration Sites (hereafter
referred to as the SPNS Enhancing Linkages Initiative) in order to
complete linkages to HIV medical care and support services for HIV
positive individuals returning from jail settings to the community,
follow-up data collection, analysis and dissemination of findings and
lessons learned. The findings generated by this Initiative are capable
of impacting service delivery systems and increasing linkages to
critical HIV care and support services if the model programs can be
adapted in jails and HIV service delivery settings across the United
States, as well as to demonstrate that HIV testing and linkage to care
in jail settings, and transitioning individuals to HIV care and
treatment in the community is feasible and effective.

U.S.C. 300ff-101.
CFDA Number: 93.928.
Project period: September 1, 2007, to August 31, 2011. The period
of support for the supplemental awards is from September 1, 2011 to
August 31, 2012.
Justification for the Exception to Competition
Critical funding for linkages to HIV medical care, treatment
services and supportive services to clients enrolled
[[Page 29254]]
in the SPNS Enhancing Linkages Initiative will be continued through a
non-competitive extension with funds to 10 existing grantees of record.
This is a one-time extension with Part F Funds, as the grant recipients
did not begin enrolling clients until late into the second year of the
project period due to delays in receiving required human subjects
research approvals. The SPNS Enhancing Linkages Initiative grantees are
the best qualified to ensure the continuity of care, and provide
critical services to the service population until all clients are
successfully transitioned to routine Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program care
and services.
