SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration's Bureau of
Health Resources Development (BHRD) will provide funding for new grant
applications during fiscal year 1994 to support innovative programs to
advance knowledge and skills in the delivery of health and support
services for people with HIV disease under the Special Projects of
National Significance (SPNS) program. The SPNS program is designed to
demonstrate and evaluate innovative and potentially replicable HIV
service delivery models. A complete Notice of Availability of Funds
(NOAF) will be published at a later date in the Federal Register giving
a full description of specific funding categories and their program
requirements. Proposals are being sought for HIV service delivery model
projects that demonstrate and evaluate: [1] Comprehensive primary care
service delivery systems for people with HIV within one of six distinct
environments or settings, including people in managed care plans,
people in capitated reimbursement systems, people in intermediate
levels of care, people in rural areas, adolescents and young adults
with symptomatic HIV disease, and women with HIV; [2] Coordinated
delivery of HIV health and support services to specific mobile
populations in the United States; [3] Reduction of cultural,
linguistic, and/or organizational barriers to care in a geographically
defined area targeting one of four specific populations (underserved
populations, ethnic groups, substance abuse, discrimination); and, [4]
Provider training and education models that develop, test, and evaluate
strategies for increasing, improving or updating knowledge about HIV
disease and its treatment for providers in three distinct provider
groups. Applicants may also request additional funds which will be
provided to one or more successful applicants to establish, either on
site or by subcontract, evaluation and dissemination center(s) to work
with all of the SPNS grantees funded under the HIV Service Delivery
Models Categories [1] through [4]. The purpose of this announcement is
to give advance notice to potential applicants of the amount of funding
and the estimated application deadline date.
