Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Jurisdictional Approach to Curing Hepatitis C among HIV/HCV Coinfected People of Color - State Health Departments Coordinating Center" (HRSA-16-195), is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It funds a single awardee to serve as a coordinating center that supports state or jurisdiction-level efforts aimed at improving hepatitis C virus (HCV) outcomes specifically for people of color who are coinfected with HIV and HCV. The overall purpose is to strengthen how jurisdictions find, link, treat, and ultimately cure hepatitis C in this population by improving systems, coordination, and technical support rather than just delivering isolated services.
The program is built around four main goals. First, it seeks to increase jurisdiction-level capacity to provide comprehensive HCV screening, care, and treatment for people who are coinfected with HIV and HCV. In practical terms, this means helping health departments and their partners improve the infrastructure and processes needed to identify coinfected individuals, confirm diagnoses, connect them to providers, and ensure continuity of care across settings. Second, it aims to increase the number of HIV/HCV coinfected people who are actually diagnosed with hepatitis C, started on treatment, and cured. This is a results-focused goal that centers on moving people successfully through the full care continuum, from testing and confirmation to treatment initiation and sustained virologic response (cure).
Third, the coordinating center is expected to identify what jurisdictions need in order to meet the first two goals and provide technical assistance to help them get there. Technical assistance can include sharing best practices, helping jurisdictions troubleshoot barriers (such as fragmented referral systems, limited treatment access, or gaps in data sharing), supporting workflow redesign, and building cross-program collaborations between HIV and hepatitis programs. The fourth goal is to develop a plan to evaluate the program's impact. That means designing an evaluation approach that can credibly measure whether capacity increased and whether more people were diagnosed, treated, and cured, while also documenting implementation lessons that other jurisdictions could replicate.
A key feature of this opportunity is coordination with existing national partners and evaluation infrastructure. The description notes that NASTAD will work closely with the Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center (ETAC) for the related demonstration project funded under HRSA-16-188. This signals that the coordinating center will not operate in isolation; it will align with a broader initiative and collaborate on technical assistance and evaluation planning so that efforts across jurisdictions are consistent, measurable, and mutually reinforcing.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in the project. The opportunity lists eligibility for nonprofit organizations, including those with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The CFDA number is 93.928, and HRSA anticipated making one award. The posting shows a creation date of September 12, 2016, with an original closing date of September 19, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which usually means the ceiling was not specified in that particular listing or was to be determined through the official notice and related budget guidance.
Overall, this opportunity is about creating a central hub that helps health departments improve real-world hepatitis C cure outcomes among HIV/HCV coinfected people of color by boosting jurisdictional capacity, increasing successful progression through the screening-to-cure continuum, delivering targeted technical assistance to address local barriers, and building a solid evaluation plan to show impact and guide future scale-up.
