Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Grant: HIT Capacity Building Initiative for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Providers

Ryan White grantees that previously received SPNS IT Capacity Building funds are eligible but must clearly and specifically state how these grant funds will be used to increase IT capacity among sub-recipient service provider organizations.

Funding is limited to organizations that provide core or support services to HIV-infected individuals and are funded under Ryan White Parts A – D, who are in need of an adequate information technology (IT) infrastructure development for purposes of reporting client level data. This includes the acquisition and implementation of hardware and software components, stand alone, network, and other management health information systems that will facilitate the reporting of client level data. Applicant organizations must include a strategy for collaborating with their Part A, B, C, or D grantee of record or sub-provider organizations, as it relates to the interconnectivity, interoperability and compatibility of their proposed systems. Plans must demonstrate the capacity and procedures to electronically and physically protect the privacy and information of electronic client records. Applicants must also include plans for disseminating complete and accurate documentation of their system process development and implementation for the purpose of replication and integration. The period of support is one year.
