Opportunity Summary:

The HIT Capacity Building Initiative for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Grantees (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-13-152) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) program (CFDA 93.928). The core purpose of the initiative is to help Ryan White Part B ADAP grantees strengthen their health information technology (HIT) systems so they can more effectively collect and report required ADAP data to HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). In practical terms, this funding is aimed at improving the electronic infrastructure behind ADAP data management, including both program-level (grantee-level) reporting and client-level reporting tied to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program requirements.

The opportunity sits within SPNS, a program designed to foster and test innovative approaches to HIV care that respond quickly to emerging needs among Ryan White-served clients. SPNS places emphasis not only on launching improvements, but also on evaluating how well they work. That includes examining design choices, implementation steps, system utilization, costs, and impacts on health-related outcomes, and then promoting dissemination of models that prove successful. A related SPNS priority reflected in this announcement is the development and adoption of more standardized electronic client information systems, so grantees can provide more complete, accurate, and timely data to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Under this specific initiative, eligible applicants are limited to current ADAP grantees funded through Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B Grants to States and Territories. Unlike prior HIT-related opportunities that may have been broader across multiple parts of the Ryan White program (including subgrantees), this solicitation is narrowly focused on Part B ADAP grantees. Awards are intended to support HIT capacity building that directly advances the collection and reporting of both ADAP grantee-level and client-level data. In other words, applications are expected to show that the proposed HIT investments will materially improve the applicant's ability to meet HAB reporting expectations for ADAP, not simply modernize technology in a general way.

Funding is designed to allow organizations to purchase qualified HIT systems or make targeted improvements that enhance existing systems used for ADAP data collection and reporting. The announcement makes clear that the work is not limited to procurement alone; award recipients must also evaluate and document the full system implementation process. That requirement signals that HRSA is looking for projects that can produce usable lessons about implementation, barriers, costs, and effective practices, which can then be shared and potentially replicated by other ADAP programs.

The expected number of awards is 20, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $75,000 to a ceiling of $100,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible ADAP grantees seeking to upgrade or replace systems. The opportunity was posted on December 18, 2012, with an application closing date of February 14, 2013, and an archive date of April 15, 2013.

For applicants or interested parties needing the official solicitation materials and full requirements, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal and directed technical access questions to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, 877-464-4772).
