Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Capacity Building to Develop Standard Electronic Client Information Data Systems Parts C D" (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-135), was a discretionary grant competition run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It was categorized as a health-related funding activity and tied to CFDA 93.928, Special Projects of National Significance. The core aim was to strengthen the data infrastructure of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program providers so they could capture and report client-level information in a more standardized, reliable way.

The purpose of the initiative was specifically focused on organizations funded under Parts C and D of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment and Modernization Act of 2006. In practical terms, this meant supporting Ryan White-funded providers that deliver HIV primary care and related services to people living with HIV, particularly underserved populations, and helping them move toward more consistent electronic client information data systems. The emphasis on "standard electronic" systems points to improving how client data are collected, stored, managed, and ultimately reported so that grantees can meet federal reporting expectations more effectively and with better data quality.

A central driver of the opportunity was improving the ability of grantees to report client-level data to DHHS. Client-level reporting generally requires accurate, structured information on patients and the services they receive, which can be difficult when organizations rely on homegrown databases, fragmented tools, paper-heavy workflows, or systems that are not aligned to federal data elements. By investing in capacity building around electronic client information systems, the program sought to reduce inconsistency across grantees, support more uniform reporting, and strengthen the overall usefulness of the data for oversight, program improvement, and national-level understanding of service delivery.

Funding was offered as grants, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000 and an expected 100 awards, suggesting relatively modest awards distributed broadly to reach many service organizations. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for participation and made it easier for resource-constrained clinics and community-based providers to apply. Eligibility was limited to Ryan White Part C and Part D funded programs with experience delivering HIV primary care services to HIV-positive underserved individuals, reinforcing that the funds were intended for established providers actively serving the target populations rather than new entrants.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on November 25, 2008, with an original and current closing date of February 26, 2009, and it was later archived on February 28, 2009. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement online, HRSA directed them to contact the HRSA Call Center via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) or 301-998-7373. The listing also included an additional information link to the HRSA grants site where the full announcement details would have been available during the open period.
