Opportunity Summary:
The Leadership Training for People of Color Living with HIV grant opportunity (HRSA-16-186) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS-HRSA), under CFDA 93.145. It was posted on May 5, 2016, with an application deadline of July 8, 2016. HRSA anticipated making a single award to one organization, with project support available for up to three years. While the notice lists an award ceiling of $0, that typically reflects a posting or formatting convention in the source record rather than a statement that no funds are available; applicants would normally look to the full funding announcement for detailed budget expectations.
The purpose of the program is to strengthen leadership skills and practical engagement opportunities for people of color living with HIV across all ages, specifically including communities such as Black, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Asian/Pacific Islander populations. The central idea is to develop and deliver training that equips participants to take meaningful, informed roles in the real-world decision-making spaces that shape HIV prevention and care. That includes participation on HIV planning bodies, medical and support care teams, boards of directors, and other organized efforts that influence policy, funding priorities, service design, and community mobilization.
A notable emphasis of this opportunity is an increased national focus on transgender women of color living with HIV. The project is expected to support leadership training tailored to this population, reflecting a recognition that transgender women of color face distinct and often intensified barriers within health and social systems. By explicitly prioritizing this focus, HRSA signals that successful applicants should be prepared to design programming that is relevant, culturally responsive, and grounded in the lived realities of transgender women of color, while still serving the broader goal of leadership development for people of color living with HIV.
The training focus is closely tied to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy: Updated to 2020 (NHAS 2020). In practical terms, the program aims to build participants knowledge of HIV service planning processes, the HIV care continuum (from diagnosis and linkage to care through retention, treatment, and viral suppression), and how HIV service delivery systems operate. The expectation is not just general leadership development, but leadership that is functional within HIV systems: participants should come away prepared to contribute to planning decisions, advocate for improvements, and collaborate with providers and agencies in ways that advance NHAS 2020 goals.
HRSA frames the broader impact as systems-level capacity building. By increasing the number of people of color living with HIV who are trained and positioned to participate in planning and oversight, the program is intended to strengthen the overall HIV prevention and care infrastructure, including Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program providers, government agencies, and formal planning entities. A key outcome is improved ability of these systems to recognize and respond to social and structural barriers that affect HIV prevention and treatment in local communities, such as stigma, discrimination, poverty, unstable housing, lack of transportation, inequitable access to culturally competent care, and other obstacles that can disrupt engagement in care and health outcomes.
Eligibility is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special districts), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The listing also notes that additional applicant types may be eligible under an "Others" category, with details provided in the full announcement. Because only one award was expected, this competition was structured to select a single organization capable of delivering leadership training with national relevance and the operational strength to manage and scale programming over a multi-year period in partnership with HRSA under the cooperative agreement model.
