Notice of Supplemental Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Supplemental Funding Opportunity: Secretary's 
Minority AIDS Initiative Funding to Increase HIV Prevention and Care 
Service Delivery among Health Centers Serving High HIV Prevalence 
Jurisdictions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Funded in part by the Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative 
Fund (SMAIF), as set forth in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 
2014, Public Law 113-76, H.R. 3547-376, a supplemental funding 
opportunity will be available in June 2014, for certain existing Health 
Center Program grantees funded under Section 330 of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 254b). This supplemental 
funding opportunity is one facet of a partnership between the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and 
Services Administration, Bureau of Primary Health Care (HRSA, BPHC), 
which will encourage collaboration between Health Center Program 
grantees in geographic areas of high HIV/AIDS unmet need among racial/
ethnic minorities and state health departments to increase and improve 
HIV service delivery within their primary care programs.
    Under Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative Funding to Increase HIV 
Prevention and Care Service Delivery among Health Centers Serving High 
HIV Prevalence Jurisdictions (CDC-RFA-PS14-1410), CDC will fund 
approximately four state health departments through a competitive 
application process among nine state health departments (Alabama, 
California, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South 
Carolina, and Texas) that have been identified as eligible to apply for 
funding. State health department awardees must collaborate with Health 
Center Program grantees identified in their applications to increase 
and improve HIV service delivery among racial/ethnic minorities. Health 
Center Program grantees identified in awarded health department 
applications may subsequently apply for supplemental funding from HRSA 
for their participation in this collaboration.
    HRSA will award 12-24 supplemental awards ranging in amount from 
$250,000 to $500,000 to existing Health Center Program grantees 
identified by state health departments as collaborative partners in 
their applications for grant funding under Secretary's Minority AIDS 
Initiative Funding to Increase HIV Prevention and Care Service Delivery 
among Health Centers Serving High HIV Prevalence Jurisdictions (CDC-
RFA-PS14-1410). This supplemental funding will support activities 
currently in scope of health center projects, including health center 
workforce development, infrastructure development, HIV service delivery 
across the HIV care continuum, and the development of sustainable 
partnerships with state health departments.
