Opportunity Summary:

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is funding the Regional AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F. The main purpose of this opportunity is to strengthen the HIV workforce by expanding and improving the training of health care professionals so they are better prepared to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage people living with HIV (PLWH), while also helping reduce behaviors that increase HIV transmission risk. In practice, the Regional AETCs function as hubs that connect HIV subject-matter experts with clinicians and organizations that need up-to-date, practical support to deliver high-quality HIV prevention and care.

Under this announcement, Regional AETCs are expected to deliver education, training, consultation, and clinical decision support to a broad range of health care professionals, including providers, allied health professionals, and health care support staff. The content and technical assistance are meant to build real-world capability across three competency areas: (1) Clinical Care, focusing on the knowledge and skills needed for effective HIV diagnosis and treatment; (2) Teamwork, emphasizing how multidisciplinary teams coordinate care for PLWH; and (3) Organization and Systems Management, which targets the clinic- and system-level practices that allow programs to deliver consistent, high-quality care. A major emphasis is tailoring training and technical assistance to the needs of local sites and audiences, rather than relying only on one-size-fits-all education.

A central priority is addressing disparities in HIV outcomes. Each Regional AETC is expected to deliberately link HIV clinical and prevention expertise to health care professionals and organizations that serve racial and ethnic minorities and other populations disproportionately affected by HIV. The idea is to use targeted education, hands-on consultation, and technical assistance to help these sites integrate comprehensive HIV services and improve performance across the HIV care continuum, ultimately improving health outcomes for PLWH.

This is a discretionary cooperative agreement (not a formula grant), meaning HRSA anticipates substantial programmatic involvement and coordination with awardees. HRSA planned to make eight awards to support eight regional centers that collectively cover all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the six U.S.-affiliated Pacific jurisdictions. The estimated total funding amount listed for the opportunity is $25,500,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding opportunity number is HRSA-15-032, and the CFDA program number is 93.145 (AIDS Education and Training Centers).

Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, with examples explicitly including schools and academic health science centers. Faith-based and community-based organizations, Tribes, and tribal organizations are also eligible to apply, reflecting HRSA's intent to fund entities that can credibly reach and support diverse clinical settings and communities. The opportunity was posted January 5, 2015, with the closing date moved from March 6, 2015 to March 19, 2015, and it was archived April 12, 2015. For assistance with accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided the Grants Application Center contact and the program email AETCmovingforward@hrsa.gov, with an additional point of contact listed as Rupali Doshi at (301) 443-5313.
