DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Non-competitive Fiscal Year 2017 Supplemental Funding Award Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program, Part F Special Projects of National
Significance
AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This non-competitive supplemental award to the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF), the Evaluation and Technical
Assistance Center (ETAC) for the Culturally Appropriate Interventions
of Outreach, Access and Retention among Latino/a Populations
initiative, will support the costs of analysis, publication, and
dissemination of findings and best practices learned from the
initiative.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award: UCSF (U90HA26507).
Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $100,000.
Period of Funding: September 1, 2017, through August 31, 2018.
CFDA Number: No. 93.928.
Authority: Public Health Service Act, Section 2691 (42 U.S.C.
300ff-101), as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Extension Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-87).
Justification: UCSF is currently conducting a multisite evaluation
and providing technical assistance to the ten demonstration sites
awarded under this initiative. The sites implement innovative
interventions that identify Latinos/as at high risk or living with HIV
in the United States, and improve their access, timely entry, and
retention in quality HIV primary care. This supplemental funding will
cover the costs of a special supplemental issue of a top-tier HIV/AIDS
journal containing findings from the initiative, and support additional
staff to assist in the analysis, publication, and dissemination of
[[Page 44816]]
findings, best practices, and lessons learned. The supported activity
includes the production of the required interventions manual for the
initiative documenting the ten intervention models employed by the
demonstration sites in order to promote the future replication of the
interventions by Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program recipients and other
health care providers. Not issuing this award would severely reduce the
impact of this initiative by limiting the analysis and dissemination of
best practices and lessons learned to HIV providers serving these
Latino/a subpopulations. This would weaken efforts to improve the
health outcomes for Latinos/as living with HIV in the United States.
