Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C Capacity Development Program

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C Capacity Development Program. The purpose of this program is to strengthen organizational capacity to respond to the changing health care landscape and increase access to high-quality HIV primary health care services for low-income and underserved people with HIV. HRSA intends funding under this program to support one short-term activity that can be completed by the end of the one-year period of performance. You may propose an expansion of an activity previously supported under FY2021 or FY2022 RWHAP Part C Capacity Development Program funding (HRSA-21-058; HRSA-22-019) or RWHAP Part D Supplemental (HRSA-21-059; HRSA-22-037; HRSA-22-156) for either a HIV Care Innovation or Infrastructure Development activity; however, HRSA will not fund the same activity in FY 2023 as HRSA funded previously in FY 2021 or FY 2022. If the proposed project is an expansion of a previously funded activity, you must provide a clear rationale for how the proposed activity builds upon and furthers the objectives of the previously funded HIV Care Innovation or Infrastructure Development activity. You may select only one (1) activity under the selected category. HIV Care Innovation HIV Care Innovation activities support progress along the HIV care continuum to improve the health and increase the life span of people with HIV and prevent new infections.

If applying under this category, select only one of the three activities listed below: • Intimate partner violence screening & counseling • Coordination or integration of HIV primary care with oral health and/or behavioral health care • Gender-affirming care Infrastructure Development Infrastructure Development activities support organizational development and will increase the capacity of organizations to respond to changes in the health care environment. If applying under this category, select only one of the two activities listed below: • Telehealth • Office dental equipment for expanding dental capacity The selected activity should target populations that are disproportionately impacted by the HIV epidemic and experience adverse health outcomes. Successful applicants will demonstrate your organization’s intent and ability to sustain proposed HIV Care Innovation activities or proposed Infrastructure Development enhancements without additional federal funds beyond the one-year period of performance. Furthermore, successful applicants will demonstrate that the proposed activity will strengthen organizational capacity to respond to the changing health care landscape and increase access to high-quality HIV primary health care services for low-income people with HIV.
