Opportunity Summary:
The Strengthening and Improving the HIV Care Continuum within Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A Jurisdictions opportunity (HRSA-15-113) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on providing national-level technical assistance to improve HIV outcomes across RWHAP Part A areas. The central idea is to help Part A jurisdictions strengthen performance across the HIV care continuum by using a collaborative learning model and rapid improvement methods, with an emphasis on practical, measurable gains that can be tracked over time using shared metrics.
The program is structured around three main aims. First, it seeks to drive better results along the HIV care continuum by offering guidance and hands-on technical assistance to Part A jurisdictions nationwide, using collaborative learning and rapid-cycle improvement principles. Second, it prioritizes data-driven decision-making by promoting evidence-based and evidence-informed strategies that can improve population-level HIV outcomes across jurisdictions and their broader systems of care. Third, it aims to scale interventions that work by encouraging coordinated action across multiple jurisdictions and partners, so effective approaches can spread faster and be adopted more widely rather than remaining isolated local successes.
A key feature anticipated under this cooperative agreement is the creation and operation of a virtual platform that uses available technology to support rapid sharing of information, tools, and lessons learned among participating jurisdictions. Through this platform, jurisdictions would be supported in identifying what relevant data they have (and what they may be missing), improving their ability to collect and interpret that data, and using it to monitor progress and guide quality improvement work. The effort is designed to produce measurable improvements over a period of roughly 12 to 36 months, applying collaborative learning and rapid improvement practices across multiple points in the HIV care continuum.
The announcement also emphasizes strengthening leadership and alignment across the local HIV response. That includes building capacity and leadership among health department staff, organizational staff, and Part A grantee project directors, while also improving coordination with planning body leadership, HIV service providers, and other public and private partners. The intent is not only to improve performance but also to build a more unified local and national approach, where partners share a common direction, a common set of strategies, and a shared understanding of what is working.
In terms of measurement, HRSA plans to use six of the seven HHS HIV measures as the organizing framework for improvement work. The goal is to generate meaningful population-level impact across all 53 Part A jurisdictions, while expecting larger or more concentrated gains among a subset of 10 priority jurisdictions during years 2 and 3. In practice, that means the project is meant to support broad national improvement while also allowing deeper, more intensive work where HRSA expects the greatest opportunity for change.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $500,000 in total, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement from the federal agency compared to a standard grant, often through active collaboration, guidance, and shared responsibility for project direction and deliverables.
Eligibility is broad and includes domestic public or private entities, both non-profit and for-profit, as long as they can operate at a national scope and connect effectively with city/county public health structures and HIV systems of care. Eligible applicants may include national organizations, state and local governments, tribal governments, institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other non-profit organizations such as faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations engaged in HIV-related work.
Administrative details listed in the source include CFDA 93.914 (HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants). The opportunity was posted February 27, 2015, with an application closing date of April 28, 2015, and an archive date of June 27, 2015. A contact was provided through HRSA’s Grants Application Center, with Steven Young as the named point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement.

What is the main purpose of this cooperative agreement?
The purpose is to help RWHAP Part A jurisdictions improve outcomes across the HIV care continuum by supporting practical, measurable performance gains. The approach emphasizes collaborative learning, rapid-cycle improvement, and consistent measurement so that improvements can be monitored, compared, and scaled across multiple jurisdictions.
What are the three main aims of the project?
The opportunity is organized around three aims:
- Improve results across the HIV care continuum by delivering guidance and hands-on technical assistance nationwide using collaborative learning and rapid-cycle improvement methods.
- Strengthen data-driven decision-making by promoting evidence-based and evidence-informed strategies to improve population-level HIV outcomes.
- Scale interventions that work by supporting coordinated action across jurisdictions and partners so effective approaches spread beyond isolated local successes.
Who is the technical assistance intended to support?
The technical assistance is intended to support RWHAP Part A jurisdictions nationwide, with the overall goal of improving population-level outcomes across all 53 Part A jurisdictions. The announcement also anticipates deeper or more concentrated gains for a subset of 10 priority jurisdictions during years 2 and 3.
How does the program plan to improve HIV outcomes across jurisdictions?
The program is designed to use a collaborative learning model and rapid improvement methods (rapid-cycle improvement principles) so jurisdictions can test changes, learn quickly, and adopt improvements that produce measurable gains. Shared metrics are used so progress can be tracked over time and lessons learned can be transferred across participating areas.
What is meant by the “HIV care continuum” in this announcement?
In this announcement, the HIV care continuum is the organizing concept for improvement work across multiple points of HIV care and services. The project is explicitly focused on improving performance across the continuum and measuring results using the HHS HIV measures framework referenced by HRSA.
What role does data play in this opportunity?
Data is central to the approach. The opportunity prioritizes data-driven decision-making, including helping jurisdictions identify what relevant data they have, what may be missing, improving their ability to collect and interpret data, and using that information to monitor progress and guide quality improvement activities over time.
What measurement framework will HRSA use to organize improvement work?
HRSA plans to use six of the seven HHS HIV measures as the organizing framework for the improvement work. These measures are intended to provide a shared structure for tracking progress and demonstrating population-level impact.
