Opportunity Summary:
The HIV Early Intervention Services (EIS) Program New Geographic Service Areas opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-171) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its main goal is to create and fund new Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C EIS sites in geographic areas that are not already supported by Part C EIS funding. The program is designed to strengthen and expand access to outpatient HIV primary medical care along with psychosocial and supportive services, with a strong emphasis on reaching people who are not currently connected to regular HIV medical care.
This opportunity specifically targets four groups of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA): individuals who are newly diagnosed or newly identified and not in care; individuals who were diagnosed previously but have never been in care; individuals who were in care at one time but have dropped out; and existing PLWHA clients who need ongoing services. For the purposes of this announcement, "not in care" or "out of care" is defined as having had no HIV medical services in the past 12 months. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help organizations find, engage, and re-engage people in consistent HIV medical care and related support services, which is critical for improving health outcomes and reducing HIV transmission risk through sustained treatment.
The announcement ties directly to President Obama’s 2011 World AIDS Day initiative, which called for expanding primary HIV medical care and support services for people living with HIV. That context matters because it signals the federal intent behind the funding: not simply maintaining services where they already exist, but pushing expansion into new areas and building capacity to bring disengaged patients back into care.
HRSA anticipated making about 10 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The maximum (ceiling) award amount listed is $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes the program more accessible to safety-net providers and community-based organizations that may not have additional non-federal funds available to meet a match.
The eligible applicant pool is broad but still focused on entities capable of delivering comprehensive outpatient early intervention services. Eligible applicants include public and nonprofit private entities in the United States and its territories that are not currently funded by Part C EIS. Examples of eligible applicants listed include state and local governments (city, township, county, special district), independent school districts, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The competition is also explicitly open to faith-based and community-based organizations, Tribes, and tribal organizations.
More specifically, HRSA describes eligible applicants as public or private nonprofit entities that fall into certain categories tied to the delivery of primary care or specialized services, such as federally qualified health centers; certain family planning grantees; comprehensive hemophilia diagnostic and treatment centers; rural health clinics; health facilities operated by or under contract with the Indian Health Service; community-based organizations, clinics, hospitals, and other facilities that provide early intervention services to people infected through intravenous drug use; and nonprofit private entities that provide comprehensive primary care services to populations at risk of HIV/AIDS (including faith-based and community-based organizations). This eligibility framing reinforces that the intent is to fund organizations already positioned to deliver clinical care and the wraparound supports needed to keep patients engaged.
Key administrative details include the original and current closing date of May 25, 2012, a posted and creation date of April 25, 2012, and an archive date of July 24, 2012, indicating this is a historical funding announcement rather than an open competition today. The program falls under CFDA 93.918, "Grants to Provide Outpatient Early Intervention Services with Respect to HIV Disease," and uses the grant funding instrument type under the health activity category.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement at the time, HRSA provided an online link through the HRSA grants site and offered support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and a toll-free phone line (877-464-4772).
