The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is requesting a deviation from the competition requirements in order to provide a 1 year extension with funds to the Resource and Technical Assistance Center for HIV Prevention and Care for Black MSM cooperative agreement recipient, the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors. The purpose of the program is to develop a Resource and Technical Assistance Center for HIV prevention and care of models and interventions that increase the capacity, quality, and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS service providers to screen, diagnose, link, and retain, the adult and young Black MSM community in HIV clinical care. The 2-year project period ends June 30, 2016. The extension through June 30, 2017, for this project provides necessary funding and time to complete previously approved project activities, an orderly phase out, and transition to the next stage of evaluation for the models of HIV clinical care and best practices needed for HIV viral suppression. The next stage of planning by HAB is to use the models, tools, and best practices developed for improved health outcomes by this recipient for fiscal year 2017 competitive funding under the HAB Special Projects of National Significance Program.

Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Resource and Technical Assistance 
Center for HIV Prevention and Care for Black MSM

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from competition requirements for Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Resource and Technical Assistance Center 
for HIV Prevention and Care for Black men who have sex with men (MSM) 
(Grant#U69HA27173).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is requesting a deviation from the 
competition requirements in order to provide a 1 year extension with 
funds to the Resource and Technical Assistance Center for HIV 
Prevention and Care for Black MSM cooperative agreement recipient, the 
National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors. The purpose 
of the program is to develop a Resource and Technical Assistance Center 
for HIV prevention and care of models and interventions that increase 
the capacity, quality, and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS service providers 
to screen, diagnose, link, and retain, the adult and young Black MSM 
community in HIV clinical care. The 2-year project period ends June 30, 
2016. The extension through June 30, 2017, for this project provides 
necessary funding and time to complete previously approved project 
activities, an orderly phase out, and transition to the next stage of 
evaluation for the models of HIV clinical care and best practices 
needed for HIV viral suppression. The next stage of planning by HAB is 
to use the models, tools, and best practices developed for improved 
health outcomes by this recipient for fiscal year 2017 competitive 
funding under the HAB Special Projects of National Significance 
Program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Antigone Dempsey, Director, Division 
of Policy and Data, HRSA/HAB/DPD, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 
20857, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Period of Performance: July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017.
    Intended Recipient of the Award: National Alliance of State and 
Territorial AIDS Directors.
    Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $900,000.

    CFDA Number: 93.145.

    Authority: Sections 2606, 2654, 2671, and 2692 of Title XXVI of 
the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-87)

    Justification: The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS 
Directors has been very successful at collecting, developing, and 
analyzing clinical models of care and best practices for HIV care and 
treatment. Additional time is needed to complete analyses and 
disseminate them across the country to grant recipients, health 
centers, and HIV stakeholder communities. This funding reflects the 
amount needed to complete the final phase of program activities, which 
is the dissemination of models and best practices for HIV treatment and 
care through Ryan White Part C and D grant recipients, AIDS Education 
and Training Centers, and HRSA Bureau of Primary Health Care Health 
Centers to improve engagement of and retention in care for young Black 
MSM, one of the highest risk populations identified in the National 
HIV/AIDS Strategy for HIV transmission. The aim and purpose of 
dissemination of these interventions is to increase the capacity, 
quality, and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS service providers to screen, 
diagnose, link, and retain the adult and young Black MSM community in 
HIV clinical care.
