Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) offered this discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 15 031) to fund a single organization to serve as the Evaluation and Technical Assistance (ETA) Center for a national Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) initiative focused on using social media to strengthen the HIV care continuum for youth and young adults. The core purpose of the award was to support one lead entity that would coordinate a multi-site evaluation and deliver hands-on technical assistance to as many as ten separately funded demonstration sites (funded under a companion announcement, HRSA 15 029). In practice, this ETA Center role functions as the backbone of the initiative: helping sites implement consistent approaches to data collection and evaluation, improving the quality and comparability of results across locations, and supporting sites as they refine and scale promising social media-based engagement strategies.
The initiative sits within HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau priorities under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, with an emphasis on increasing access to and retention in high-quality, integrated HIV care and treatment for vulnerable people living with HIV and their families. The demonstration projects supported by the companion funding opportunity were expected to test innovative ways to identify, link, retain, and improve health outcomes for HIV-positive youth and young adults who are underserved, underinsured, and hard to reach. A key focus is on populations with poor utilization of health care or individuals who are living with HIV but do not yet know their status. The underlying program theory is that well-designed interventions using social media platforms can meet young people where they already communicate, reduce barriers to care, and support earlier diagnosis and earlier entry into treatment, which are critical to improving individual health outcomes and reducing transmission at the community level.
As the central evaluator and technical assistance provider, the funded ETA Center would be responsible for leading a coordinated, multi-site evaluation across the cohort, which typically includes developing or standardizing evaluation frameworks, measures, and reporting processes; supporting sites in implementation fidelity while allowing room for local adaptation; and helping compile, interpret, and disseminate findings. The technical assistance component implies ongoing practical support to grantees, such as helping translate intervention concepts into operational workflows, advising on performance measurement, strengthening data systems and quality assurance, navigating confidentiality and ethical considerations relevant to social media outreach, and assisting with dissemination of lessons learned so effective approaches can be replicated beyond the initial demonstration communities.
The opportunity was posted on February 3, 2015, and closed on April 3, 2015 (archived June 2, 2015). HRSA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $550,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement during the project period, often through collaboration on program direction, monitoring, and technical guidance.
Eligible applicants were broadly defined but centered on entities connected to or eligible under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A, B, C, and D. This included public entities and nonprofit private organizations, as well as academic institutions and health science centers working on HIV issues at regional or national levels. Examples specifically referenced include state and local governments, academic institutions, local health departments, hospitals and outpatient clinics, community health centers supported under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, Federally Qualified Health Centers, faith-based and community-based organizations, and Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations (with or without federal recognition). The announcement was administered by HRSA, and the contact listed for access issues and questions was the HRSA Grants Application Center (contact: Adan Cajina, acajina@hrsa.gov).
