Opportunity Summary:
The HIV Early Intervention Services (EIS Program) Existing Geographic Service Areas (EISEGA) grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-117) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C. It was released to solicit new applications and competing continuation applications for FY 2014 funding to support outpatient HIV early intervention and primary care services. The program is designed to focus on low-income and medically underserved people living with HIV/AIDS, with an emphasis on delivering care in an outpatient setting and helping clients enter and stay engaged in clinically appropriate HIV care as early as possible.
At its core, the Part C EIS program requires applicants to propose a comprehensive continuum of outpatient HIV primary care services within a defined service area. The required service continuum includes four major elements: (1) targeted HIV counseling, testing, and referral; (2) medical evaluation and clinical care; (3) other primary care services; and (4) referrals to other health services. The announcement also highlights an important program principle: while HIV primary care should ideally begin early in infection, clients may enter the program at any stage of HIV disease and at any point across the lifespan. In practical terms, this means programs are expected to be able to assess and serve people who are newly diagnosed as well as people who have long-standing HIV and may have more complex medical needs.
Eligibility is structured around maintaining or responsibly transitioning services within existing geographic service areas. The competition is open to three main groups: existing Part C EIS grantees whose project periods were ending April 30, 2014; new organizations seeking to replace a current grantee; and applicants proposing to serve open service areas identified by HRSA (referenced as Appendix B in the full announcement). For new organizations attempting to replace an incumbent grantee, HRSA requires a clear demonstration that the applicant will continue serving the existing patients and maintain continuity in target populations, service scope, and the service area. These applicants must explicitly identify the grantee they intend to replace, which underscores HRSA's priority of avoiding disruptions in care for current patients.
The opportunity allows a broad range of public and nonprofit private entities to apply, including state and local governments and their agencies, Indian Tribes and tribal organizations (with or without federal recognition), and community-based and faith-based organizations. The eligible entity types also include specific kinds of safety-net and specialized providers, such as Federally Qualified Health Centers, family planning grantees under section 1001 (other than states), comprehensive hemophilia diagnostic and treatment centers, rural health clinics, Indian Health Service-operated facilities (or those run under contract), and other clinics, hospitals, and health facilities providing early intervention services, including to people infected through intravenous drug use. In addition, nonprofit private entities that provide comprehensive primary care to populations at risk of HIV/AIDS, including community-based and faith-based organizations, are eligible.
A major compliance and readiness requirement in the announcement is Medicaid alignment and clinical licensure. Applicants must document Medicaid provider status, or they may document formal agreements with Medicaid providers to ensure delivery of all services covered under the Medicaid State plan. HRSA notes a limited exception: this requirement may be waived for free clinics that do not charge for services and do not accept reimbursement from Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance. Separately, all applicants must document that they are fully licensed to provide clinical services as required by state and/or local rules. Importantly, both Medicaid provider status (or acceptable arrangements/waiver circumstances) and licensure must already be in place before an application is submitted, signaling that HRSA expected applicants to be operationally ready rather than proposing to build basic capacity after award.
From a funding and timing perspective, HRSA anticipated making 11 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,918,515 under CFDA 93.918 (Grants to Provide Outpatient Early Intervention Services with Respect to HIV Disease). The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on January 14, 2014, with an application deadline of February 14, 2014, and an archive date of April 15, 2014. The listing shows award floor and ceiling amounts as 0, which typically indicates the announcement itself did not specify standardized per-award minimums or maximums in that summary field, rather than implying that awards would be zero.
For applicants needing help or access to the full announcement, HRSA directed inquiries to the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772; CallCenter@HRSA.GOV). Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a continuation and service-area stability funding mechanism meant to sustain and strengthen outpatient HIV primary care and early intervention services in established geographic areas, with clear expectations for comprehensive clinical service delivery, referral linkages, and readiness to operate within Medicaid and licensure requirements.
