This CDC grant aims to develop technology-based tools for HIV treatment service providers to enhance linkage, retention, and re-engagement of HIV-positive individuals in care. It involves identifying evidence-based strategies, translating them into web-based resources, piloting these tools with agencies facing challenges in client retention, and refining them for wider dissemination. The program focuses on improving HIV care initiation, retention, and adherence through collaborations with various healthcare providers. By addressing Health Equity, Program Collaboration and Service Integration, and Public Health Approaches for Sexual Health, this grant supports a holistic approach toward improving HIV care outcomes within communities.

| Description:: | The purpose of this FOA is to identify, translate and pilot-test evidence-informed strategies and community best practices to improve linkage, retention and re-engagement of HIV positive persons in HIV care. This program proposes to identify model programs with evidence-informed or community-based strategies for improving linkage and retention in care, translate the model programs into web- and other-technology-based tools and resources for implementation by other agencies, pilot test the tools with agencies experiencing challenges in linkage and retention of clients, and refinement of tools for potential dissemination by CDC to clinical and community-based providers. The logic model for this funding opportunity visually depicts how the problem statement, purpose, outcomes and strategy are interrelated (Figure 1). Also depicted in the logic model are immediate, intermediate and long-term outcomes that are expected as a result of the project. The funding opportunity addresses the problem statement by identifying and translating model programs for HIV treatment service provider organizations to improve linkage, retention, and re-engagement of HIV positive persons to care by developing web-based tools (1) to assist HIV-positive persons to start HIV care shortly after receipt of a positive HIV test result; (2) to support ongoing retention in HIV care, and re-engagement of previously-diagnosed persons who have dropped out of care; and (3) offering services to promote linkage to HIV care, retention in continuous HIV care, and adherence to ART through collaborations with HIV testing providers, community-based providers, HIV care providers, case managers, and health departments. This FOA supports a holistic framework that enables NCHHSTP to more comprehensively address the broader, cross-cutting issues of health and wellness by addressing Health Equity, Program Collaboration and Service Integration (PCSI), and Advancing Public Health Approaches to Improve Sexual Health. |
