Opportunity Summary:
The HIV Care Program Part A HIV Emergency Relief Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-13-155) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is designed to provide direct financial assistance to metropolitan areas that have been heavily impacted by the HIV epidemic, with the goal of strengthening or expanding community-based systems of HIV care for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A) and their families. Through a combination of formula and supplemental grant funding, the program supports local efforts to build and maintain a comprehensive continuum of high-quality HIV services that are consistent with federal treatment expectations and focused on improving access to care and health outcomes.
A central requirement of this program is that funded jurisdictions support a "comprehensive continuum of care." That continuum includes the 13 legislatively defined core medical services, along with appropriate support services that help clients access and stay engaged in HIV medical care. The intent is not only to provide clinical treatment, but also to address practical barriers that can prevent people from receiving consistent care, such as challenges with linkage to care, retention, adherence, and other issues that affect medical outcomes. Services should align with Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) HIV treatment guidelines (referenced in the notice via AIDSinfo, a federal HIV information portal at the time), emphasizing evidence-based, guideline-concordant HIV treatment and ongoing clinical management.
Eligibility is limited to existing Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part A jurisdictions that were classified as an Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) or Transitional Grant Area (TGA) in fiscal year 2007 and that continue to meet the statutory thresholds. For EMA eligibility, the area must have reported and confirmed more than 2,000 AIDS cases during the most recent five calendar years. For TGA eligibility, the area must have reported and confirmed at least 1,000 but fewer than 2,000 AIDS cases during that same type of five-year period. In addition to incidence thresholds, jurisdictions must also meet prevalence (living AIDS cases) requirements and must not have dropped below the required levels for three consecutive years. The prevalence threshold for an EMA is 3,000 living AIDS cases as of December 31 of the most recent year with available data; for a TGA, it is 1,500 living AIDS cases.
The opportunity anticipated making 52 awards under CFDA 93.914 (HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants). The grant notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. The public posting date was July 17, 2012, with an original closing date of September 21, 2012, later extended to October 22, 2012. The archive date is December 20, 2012. The announcement lists an award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically indicates that award amounts vary according to statutory formula calculations and program-specific determinations rather than a fixed minimum or maximum stated in the summary fields.
