| Description: | This announcement solicits applications for the Special Projects of National Significance Program¿s Initiative, Use of Social Media to Improve Engagement, Retention, and Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum-Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center. The successful applicant will be funded to lead a multi-site evaluation and provide technical assistance to a cohort of up to ten demonstration sites funded under a separate announcement (refer to HRSA-15-029 to learn more about the demonstration sites requirements). HRSA¿s HIV/AIDS Bureau¿s mission is to provide leadership and resources to assure access to and retention in high quality, integrated care and treatment services for vulnerable people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Demonstration sites will implement, evaluate and disseminate findings from innovative methods of identifying, linking, retaining and improving health outcomes for HIV positive underserved, underinsured, and hard-to-reach youth and young adults through the use of social media.[1] In particular, proposed methods must address ways to increase access to and retention in care for youth and young adults with poor utilization of health care or who are HIV infected but are unaware of their HIV status. Demonstration sites will implement interventions based on innovative social media platforms to bring youth and young adults into health care at the early stages of HIV disease.
[1] See Funding Opportunity Announcement ¿Use of Social Media to Improve Engagement, Retention, and Health Outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum¿ (HRSA-15-029) for more information on demonstration site expectations. Applicants should carefully read the requirements for the demonstration sites under Announcement Number HRSA-15-029 at Grants.gov to better understand the expectations for the interventions. |
