Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 064
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part A Planning Council and Planning Body Technical Assistance (TA) Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-20-064) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It funds one organization to operate as a national technical assistance provider focused specifically on strengthening how Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A Planning Councils and transitional grant area (TGA) Planning Bodies carry out their required duties under federal law. The intent is practical and capacity-building: help these Planning Councils/Bodies better meet their legislative responsibilities, improve the quality and consistency of their planning work, and reinforce their central role in ensuring community input, especially meaningful involvement of people with HIV, in local HIV service planning and priority setting.
HRSA is using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the agency expects substantial involvement and ongoing collaboration with the awardee rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity is rooted in evidence gathered through comprehensive site visits conducted by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), Division of Metropolitan HIV/AIDS Programs (DMHAP), across all 52 RWHAP Part A jurisdictions. Those visits identified a widespread and ongoing need for consistent, comprehensive technical assistance that goes beyond one-time trainings. In other words, many jurisdictions need sustained support to interpret requirements, strengthen governance and planning practices, and maintain effective participation from key stakeholders, including prevention, care, and treatment providers.
The organization selected under this award is expected to have national reach and the ability to deliver a full menu of technical assistance in multiple formats. That includes in-person support (such as on-site trainings and targeted assistance) and robust virtual support (distance learning, national webinars, and group learning sessions). The work also includes developing, updating, and distributing resource and guidance tools, creating training materials and other products, and running "training of trainers" activities so that expertise can be multiplied within jurisdictions over time. The overall expectation is that technical assistance will be continuous, responsive to real-world challenges in the field, and designed to strengthen performance and compliance, not just share information.
The target audiences for the technical assistance are broad but directly tied to Part A planning operations. They include Planning Councils/Bodies themselves, RWHAP Part A grant recipients (the jurisdictions that receive Part A funds), jurisdictional leadership, and the staff who support Planning Councils/Bodies. A key dissemination requirement is that the awardee will use TargetHIV as a central platform to share information, tools, materials, and products, helping ensure resources are accessible and consistently available nationwide.
Eligibility is open to a wide range of applicant types that could plausibly carry out a national TA role, including state, county, and city governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities where specified). HRSA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting was created October 17, 2019, with an original application closing date of January 29, 2020. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.145. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which usually indicates that the ceiling was not specified in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full notice of funding opportunity or related budget guidance.Apply for HRSA 20 064
