Opportunity Summary:
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program National HIV Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreements (HRSA-14-035) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen how Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) grantees and providers deliver HIV care and support services, especially for underserved people living with HIV. Through this initiative, HRSA intends to fund a small set of organizations to operate national-level training and technical assistance (TA) functions that help RWHAP-funded communities improve access to high-quality HIV clinical care and improve care completion services. The emphasis is on practical, hands-on support that helps programs design, implement, and continuously improve HIV care systems, while also staying aligned with evolving health coverage and service delivery realities, including options under the Affordable Care Act.
The opportunity is organized around three distinct program focus areas, and HRSA expects to make at least one cooperative agreement award in each area (three awards total). Applicants must choose only one focus area per application, though an organization may submit multiple applications if each one addresses a different area. Partnerships are encouraged, including the use of subcontracts or memoranda of understanding to bring in specialized expertise. Because these are cooperative agreements, awardees should expect substantial involvement from HRSA in shaping priorities, coordinating national efforts, and ensuring the funded work aligns with the broader RWHAP technical assistance strategy.
The first focus area is the Technical Assistance Resources Guidance, Education, and Training (TARGET) Center. The core idea of TARGET is to create and maintain a central hub for technical assistance products that HIV care providers can readily use. In practice, this means developing, organizing, and disseminating guidance, tools, curricula, and other training materials that address common and emerging needs across the RWHAP provider community. By serving as a central place for these resources, the TARGET Center is meant to reduce duplication, make high-quality TA materials easier to find and apply, and support consistent improvement in HIV care delivery across jurisdictions and provider settings.
The second focus area is Data and Reporting Technical Assistance (DART). DART is aimed at helping targeted grantee organizations strengthen their ability to manage client-level data for RWHAP reporting, evaluation, and quality improvement. This includes building capacity to collect, store, retrieve, validate, and use data effectively, with the broader goal of improving program performance and accountability. Stronger data systems help grantees meet reporting requirements and also support better decision-making, such as identifying gaps in the care continuum, monitoring service utilization, and tracking outcomes that matter for people living with HIV.
The third focus area is Fiscal Management technical assistance. This component is built around the financial sustainability of RWHAP-funded organizations and systems. The purpose is to improve grantees organizational fiscal management capacity by strengthening budgeting, financial controls, and operational fiscal systems, while also helping organizations diversify and improve income streams. Over time, this type of assistance is meant to help RWHAP-funded entities remain stable and effective even as policy, reimbursement, and service environments change. It also supports responsible stewardship of federal funds by improving financial practices and reducing risk.
Across all three focus areas, HRSA defines training and technical assistance broadly as identifying needs and delivering practical program and technical support to the RWHAP community. The intended audience includes RWHAP grantees, planning bodies, funded providers, affected communities, and people living with HIV. The work is meant to help these stakeholders design and deliver HIV care programs and to support community-based primary care treatment and care completion services funded through RWHAP. The announcement highlights that TA may be delivered through many formats, including individualized and on-site peer or expert consultation, reverse site visits and preceptorships, ongoing consultative relationships, national or regional meetings, conference calls and webinars, and the development of print or web-based products and training curricula. It also emphasizes ongoing communication channels such as email listservs and other routine dissemination strategies to keep the field informed and supported.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding opportunity (CFDA 93.145, AIDS Education and Training Centers) was posted January 30, 2014, with an application closing date of March 3, 2014, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. HRSA anticipated three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,282,500. Eligible applicants include public, nonprofit, and private entities operating at a national scope on HIV-related issues, including faith-based and community-based organizations, schools, and academic health science centers. Applicants are reviewed using a single set of review criteria described in the announcement, and HRSA provided support through the HRSA Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center for applicants needing assistance accessing or submitting materials.
