Opportunity Summary:

The New England Region AIDS Education and Training Center Program(s) (AETC) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen the clinical workforce that cares for people living with HIV/AIDS. The program is built around a practical goal: improve health outcomes by making sure more clinicians have the real-world skills, confidence, and ongoing support needed to diagnose HIV, start and manage treatment, and address the related medical and behavioral health conditions that often affect patients over time. Rather than focusing on direct patient service delivery alone, this opportunity emphasizes provider education and training, clinical consultation, and other forms of decision support so that frontline healthcare professionals can deliver higher-quality HIV care in their own settings.

At its core, the AETC model works by offering education, training, information support, clinical consultation, and technical assistance to clinicians already serving people with HIV, as well as to providers working in minority communities and other highly impacted or high-risk areas where access to HIV expertise and treatment resources may be limited. The training content centers on HIV diagnosis and treatment and the clinical management of related health conditions. The intention is to develop and sustain HIV clinical care expertise across the region, ultimately increasing the number of direct-care providers who are both competent and willing to manage HIV-infected patients as part of routine clinical practice.

HRSA planned to make up to two awards under this announcement to ensure coverage across the six-state New England region: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The total estimated funding listed is $2,100,000, and the program falls under CFDA 93.145 (AIDS Education and Training Centers). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have flexible funds available to meet match expectations.

Eligibility is broad and includes public entities and nonprofit private entities, as well as schools and academic health sciences centers. The opportunity explicitly notes that faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible, and that Tribes and Tribal Organizations may apply. However, the announcement also sets clear expectations about the expertise that must be present in the applicant organization and any Local Performance Sites. At a minimum, awardees are expected to demonstrate capability in clinical diagnosis and management of HIV-infected patients, familiarity with DHHS HIV Treatment Guidelines, adult education and training capacity, and the ability to deliver culturally appropriate risk assessment, counseling and testing, and treatment services. Beyond these baseline requirements, the program expects expertise in HIV oral health care diagnosis and management, with additional specialized capacity in pediatric, adolescent, and perinatal HIV; HIV pharmacology; and the management of key co-occurring conditions such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tuberculosis, substance use disorders, and mental health conditions. The announcement also indicates a preference that applicant personnel and faculty reflect the diversity of disciplines, genders, and racial/ethnic backgrounds represented in the trainee and consumer populations, aligning with the program focus on serving communities that are disproportionately affected.

Administratively, this opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-124, categorized as a grant under the health activity area. It was posted on December 21, 2011, with an application closing date of February 10, 2012, and an archive date of April 10, 2012. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV. The announcement also included an additional information link hosted on the HRSA grants site for applicants seeking the full requirements, expectations, and submission details.
