Opportunity Summary:
The AETC National Multicultural Center funding opportunity (HRSA-10-149) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen multicultural and cultural competency capacity across HIV care and training. The award supports one lead organization that will function as a national resource center for the AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) network and other stakeholders, with a focus on improving how HIV providers deliver care to diverse populations. The core idea is to raise the quality of HIV clinical services by improving providers cultural competency and by strengthening patient-provider communication in ways that reduce misunderstandings, increase trust, and improve engagement and outcomes for people with HIV.
Under this opportunity, the funded recipient is expected to take a national leadership role in developing, organizing, and disseminating cultural competency tools, training products, and curricula tailored to HIV/AIDS care providers. This includes creating practical training materials that can be used across the AETC network to enhance provider skills, particularly around culturally responsive communication and care delivery for communities that have historically experienced disparities in HIV outcomes. The center is also expected to help build and spread best practices in multicultural competency, serving as a hub that supports both the development of new resources and the broader sharing of existing knowledge.
A key structural component of the project is building a collaborative network that connects Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), their affiliates, and national organizations representing minority health care professionals. The purpose of this collaboration is to ensure that the training tools and outreach strategies are informed by the perspectives and expertise of institutions and professional groups closely connected to the communities most affected by HIV disparities. Through these partnerships, the center is expected to extend the reach of cultural competency training to targeted HIV care providers and to strengthen the relevance and credibility of the resulting curricula.
The project is also intended to work in close coordination with regional AETC programs. Rather than operating in isolation, the National Multicultural Center is positioned to support regional AETCs in delivering cultural competency training, helping them adapt materials, build training capacity, and implement consistent approaches across different geographic areas. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, HRSA typically maintains an active role in collaborating with the recipient on program direction, expectations, and deliverables, emphasizing coordination and shared responsibility for achieving the national goals of the program.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding level of $500,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It was posted March 5, 2010, and closed May 7, 2010, with an archive date of July 6, 2010. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 93.145 (AIDS Education and Training Centers), situating this award within the broader federal effort to support HIV workforce education and clinical training infrastructure.
Eligibility was broad in terms of organizational type: HRSA indicated that all interested entities could apply, including public and nonprofit private entities, schools and academic health sciences centers, and faith-based and community-based organizations. At the same time, HRSA set strict experience expectations. Applicants needed to demonstrate extensive background in health professional training and adult learning, cultural competency or cultural fluency, HIV disease, and program administration. Applications that did not clearly show experience in these areas would not be considered. Beyond subject-matter expertise, applicants were expected to be strongly capable in technology and dissemination, including being computer and internet savvy and able to manage information sharing and broad distribution of training resources.
