SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award: JSI (U69HA30144).
Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $300,000 in FY 2018.
Period of Funding: July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.
CFDA Number: No. 93.145.
Authority: Sections 2606 and 2654(b) of the Public Health Service
Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of
2009 (Pub. L. 111-87).
Justification: In 2016, JSI was awarded a 3-year cooperative
agreement under HRSA-16-082 RWHAP Integrated HIV Planning
Implementation (CFDA 93.145), authorized by Sections 2606 and 2654(b)
of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-87). The cooperative
agreement was established to provide technical assistance to RWHAP
Parts A and B recipients and their planning bodies regarding: (1) The
integration of HIV planning across prevention, care, and treatment
service delivery systems; and (2) the development, implementation,
monitoring, and evaluation of Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plans.
RWHAP Parts A and B recipients and planning bodies use Integrated Plans
to better inform and coordinate HIV prevention and care program
planning, resource allocation, and continuous quality improvement
efforts to meet the HIV service delivery needs within their
jurisdictions.
The proposed supplemental funding will provide RWHAP Parts A and B
recipients with additional technical assistance (TA) specifically
focused on resource allocation planning and implementation. These
additional TA activities will build upon data elements identified in
the Integrated Plan and provide jurisdictions with strategies, tools,
and resources to effectively allocate annual available resources to
prioritize HIV unmet needs. The TA activities will be directed at
addressing more efficient and proactive methods in the Priority Setting
and Resource Allocation (PSRA) process to increase the ability of
health care providers and systems to ensure people living with HIV are
linked to care, remain engaged in care, and achieve HIV viral
suppression.
