Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), through the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), released this discretionary funding opportunity (HRSA-14-102) to support Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation within the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) community. The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees are expected to work closely with HRSA/HAB while carrying out the project. Overall, HRSA planned to fund two organizations to deliver national training and technical assistance (T/TA) that helps Ryan White grantees, subgrantees, and the people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) they serve adapt to new coverage options and service delivery realities created by the ACA, with a clear emphasis on improving access, quality, and continuity of HIV care for underserved populations.
The opportunity is built around two distinct program focus areas, and HRSA stated an intention to make at least one award in each area. Applicants were required to choose and address only one focus area per application, although an organization could submit separate applications if it wanted to compete in both. The first focus area centers on insurance engagement: training Ryan White core medical providers to initiate and manage contracting with Medicaid and ACA Marketplace qualified health plans, and to actively support client enrollment into those plans. In practice, this focus area targets the operational and administrative capabilities providers need to function effectively in an insurance-based environment, including building relationships with health plans, navigating contracting processes, and helping patients enroll and maintain coverage so they can access HIV clinical care and related services.
The second focus area is aimed at non-medical AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) and their role in supporting vulnerable populations across the HIV Care Continuum. The goal here is to train ASOs to develop and implement service models that deliver critical non-medical and care-completion supports that help people move through key stages such as linkage to care, retention in care, and achieving and sustaining viral suppression. This focus recognizes that many people with HIV face barriers that are not solved by clinical services alone, and that well-designed ASO service models can improve outcomes by addressing engagement challenges for specific high-need groups. While the announcement does not list every population explicitly in the excerpt provided, it frames the work as targeting vulnerable and underserved communities and improving health outcomes through consistent engagement over time.
Across both focus areas, the core deliverable is high-quality, practical training and technical assistance for the RWHAP field. HRSA defines T/TA as both identifying what assistance is needed and then delivering hands-on programmatic and technical support so organizations can design, implement, and evaluate HIV care programs that align with ACA coverage options. The opportunity emphasizes real-world implementation help rather than purely informational training, including assistance with community-based primary care, treatment, and care-completion services supported by Ryan White funding. The program expects awardees to use multiple dissemination and support methods to reach and assist the national Ryan White community, including individualized peer or expert consultation, reverse site visits or preceptorships, ongoing consultative relationships, national or regional meetings, webinars and conference calls, and the development of training products and curricula in print or web-based formats. Ongoing communications tools such as email listservs and other regular information-sharing mechanisms are also explicitly included as acceptable and encouraged strategies.
Eligibility was broad and included public, nonprofit, and private entities operating on a national scope in HIV/AIDS-related work. Faith-based and community-based organizations, schools, and academic health science centers were also eligible. HRSA encouraged collaboration, including the use of subcontracts or memoranda of understanding to secure specialized expertise, which signals that successful applicants were expected to bring together policy, clinical, insurance, and community engagement competencies as needed to meet the T/TA goals.
In terms of funding and timing, HRSA anticipated two total awards with an estimated total funding amount of $570,000. The announcement listed no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity was posted February 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 6, 2014, and an archive date of June 16, 2014. The CFDA number referenced is 93.145 (AIDS Education and Training Centers), and the administering agency is HRSA. For applicants needing access support, HRSA directed inquiries to the HRSA Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center contact points provided in the notice.
