Opportunity Summary:
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A HIV Emergency Relief Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). Its purpose is to provide direct financial assistance to eligible metropolitan areas (EMAs) and transitional grant areas (TGAs) that have been heavily impacted by the HIV epidemic. Funding is aimed at strengthening and expanding local systems of HIV care so that low-income people living with HIV (and their families) can access a complete, high-quality, community-based continuum of services.
A central focus of the opportunity is helping jurisdictions build or enhance a comprehensive continuum of HIV care by using several Part A funding streams, including formula funds, supplemental funds, and Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funds. Rather than prescribing one uniform set of services for every community, the program expects each EMA or TGA to make funding decisions based on local needs. Planning bodies and recipients are expected to assess their HIV care continuum, identify service gaps, and then choose specific service categories to support. The services funded should be selected and organized in a way that improves outcomes at key stages of the care continuum, such as linkage to care, retention in care, and ongoing treatment success.
The opportunity emphasizes that comprehensive HIV care is not limited to clinical visits alone. It includes core medical services as well as supportive services that help people enter care and stay in care over time. The rationale is practical: many barriers that keep people from achieving viral suppression are not strictly medical, and supportive services can make the difference between inconsistent engagement and stable, long-term treatment. The overall objective is improved health outcomes for people living with HIV, including better access to primary medical care and stronger continuity of care across providers and settings.
HRSA HAB places strong expectations on data-driven planning and accountability. EMAs and TGAs are required to collect and use data to identify unmet needs, guide planning decisions, and validate that Ryan White funds are being used appropriately and effectively. A competitive, comprehensive application is expected to show how the jurisdiction used its data to design, expand, and improve its system of care. This includes aligning local needs assessments with other relevant planning efforts and datasets, and it encourages applicants to review and reference related assessments from other HIV and public health programs. Examples named in the announcement include the HAB Integrated HIV Care and Prevention Plan (including the Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need, or SCSN), HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health Care, and data or planning resources from the CDC, SAMHSA, and HUD. In practice, this is meant to reduce duplication, improve coordination across programs, and ensure that Ryan White investments complement other federal, state, and local efforts that affect HIV outcomes.
Another major theme is preparing the local care system for increased demand as more people learn their HIV status and enter care. The announcement points to ongoing CDC initiatives and HAB efforts to estimate unmet need among people who already know their status but are not in care, as well as the growing emphasis on identifying people who are HIV-positive but unaware of their infection and linking them to care. With CDC estimating (as of November 2014) that more than 1.2 million people in the U.S. were living with HIV and that about 14 percent were unaware of their status, the grant underscores a national goal: ensure all people with HIV know their status and are connected to care. For EMAs and TGAs, that translates into planning for both current clients and newly linked clients, making sure essential core medical services are adequately funded so the system can absorb increased enrollment without weakening service quality or access.
The program also highlights equity, particularly the need to strengthen strategies that reach minority populations and to use Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funds as part of that effort. Applicants are expected to show how their system of care will address disparities and improve service reach and effectiveness in communities that are disproportionately affected by HIV. This focus on minority populations is presented as a required strategic element of system-building, not an optional add-on.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-030 and CFDA (Assistance Listing) 93.914, categorized as a health-related grant. The opportunity anticipated 52 awards, with an original closing date of October 18, 2016 (creation date August 15, 2016). The eligible applicant category is listed as “Others,†with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. Overall, the grant is designed to help eligible EMAs and TGAs use structured planning, strong data, and coordinated systems of care to improve HIV health outcomes, extend life, and reduce HIV transmission by bringing more people into sustained, effective treatment.

What types of funding streams are included under Part A in this opportunity?
The opportunity highlights several Part A funding streams that may be used to build or enhance a comprehensive continuum of HIV care, including formula funds, supplemental funds, and Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funds.
Does the program require every area to fund the same services?
No. The program does not prescribe one uniform set of services for every community. Each EMA or TGA is expected to make funding decisions based on local needs, service gaps, and priorities identified through planning and data.
How are funding decisions expected to be made locally?
Planning bodies and recipients are expected to assess the local HIV care continuum, identify unmet needs and service gaps, and select service categories to support. Funded services should be selected and organized to improve outcomes at key stages such as linkage to care, retention in care, and ongoing treatment success.
What is meant by a "continuum of HIV care" in the announcement?
The continuum of care refers to a comprehensive, community-based set of services that supports people living with HIV from entering care (linkage) to staying engaged over time (retention) and achieving ongoing treatment success. The announcement emphasizes that this continuum includes both core medical services and supportive services.
Are supportive services considered part of comprehensive HIV care under this grant?
Yes. The opportunity emphasizes that comprehensive HIV care is not limited to clinical visits. It includes core medical services as well as supportive services that help people enter care and stay in care over time.
Why does the program emphasize supportive services in addition to medical care?
The rationale described is that many barriers to achieving viral suppression are not strictly medical. Supportive services can help address those barriers and can make the difference between inconsistent engagement and stable, long-term treatment.
What outcomes is the program trying to improve?
