Summary:

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 living with HIV. Funding will support short-term activities, including new activities that constitute an expansion of previously funded projects.

Projects must encompass one of the following two categories, and each project may involve only one activity:

  • HIV care innovation: eligible activities under this category include:
    • Strategic partnerships: strengthen partnerships with organizations beyond the traditional health care setting to access hard-to-reach populations and provide a more whole-person care support system
    • Streamlining eligibility for RWHAP program services: streamline RWHAP eligibility attempts to minimize client burden by utilizing available data sources before requesting additional information from the client
    • Inclusive care for under-represented communities with disproportionately high rates of HIV: educating health care professionals and frontline service staff about the health and social needs of under-represented communities with disproportionately high rates of HIV and how the provision of inclusive care can reduce HIV-related disparities in these populations
    • Coordination or integration of HIV primary care with oral health and/or behavioral health care: integration between oral health care or behavioral health care services and primary care to help improve health outcomes for people with HIV and reduce HIV-related disparities
    • Intimate partner violence (IPV) screening and counseling: implementation of IPV screening, using an evidence-based tool and counseling in the clinical setting, as well as establishment of referral networks
  • Infrastructure development: eligible activities under this category include:
    • Emergency preparedness: investment in emergency preparedness to help build much-needed capacity of safety net clinics to protect their vulnerable populations at risk during public health emergencies and natural disasters
    • Telehealth: providing patients access to care remotely though telehealth modalities
    • Dental equipment for expanding dental service capacity: purchasing dental equipment for the purpose of developing, enhancing, or expanding oral health care services for people with HIV

Refer to pages 10-17 of the NOFA file for additional information regarding project activities.

Award recipients are encouraged to use data effectively, including developing data-sharing strategies with other RWHAP award recipients and relevant entities to reduce administrative burden, as detailed on pages 9-10 of the NOFA file.

An optional webinar is scheduled for this program. Refer to the Application section for additional information.
