| Description:: | This notice announces the anticipated availability of funds from the Secretary?s Minority AIDS Initiative Fund (SMAIF) and Title X appropriations to support grants for Title X family planning services projects to provide high impact HIV prevention integrated with Title X family planning services. Fiscal Year 2013 will be the first year of a grant project period of up to three years. The goals of the OPA-supported HIV prevention projects are to: (1) provide high impact HIV 4 prevention services, which include opt-out HIV testing, linkage of HIV positive clients to care and treatment, and for at-risk clients, behavioral interventions through counseling sessions,condom distribution, and STI screening and treatment (2) increase effective linkage partnerships between Title X family planning sites and other community-based organizations that provide care and treatment services; and (3) provide training focused on the provision of high impact HIV prevention services in order to build staff capacity. Priority for funding will be given to sites in areas with high HIV prevalence and high numbers of at-risk clients. Successful applications will include documentation that reflects characteristics of service site(s) for which funding is requested, including whether a racial/ethnic minority population, demonstrated to be at high risk of HIV infection, comprises a significant proportion of the total population (>50%); the degree to which site(s) serve individuals, populations, or areas with documented need for HIV prevention services beyond basic HIV prevention education; and the degree to which there are documented high or increasing rates of HIV, AIDS, and/or STIs within the service site target area. The facility should have an HIV prevalence rate at or above 0.1%,and optimally, a newly diagnosed (i.e., previously unaware of infection) HIV prevalence rate of >0.1%. This funding announcement includes two related components: 1) P art A ? ?IntegratingRoutine HIV Testing and Linkage to HIV Care and Treatment in Title X Family Planning Service Sites? and 2) Part B ? ?Enhanced, Bi-directional Linkage Services between Title X Family Planning Service Sites and Ryan White-funded HIV medical service sites.? In order to receive funding under this announcement, applicants must apply for Part A or may apply for both Parts A and B. There are distinct requirements for both parts. For each project proposal within the application, the applicant must specify whether they are applying for Part A only or for Parts 5 A and B. In order to be considered for Part B, the project must be approved and funded for Part A. Each Title X service grantee may submit one application, but that application may include proposals for multiple project sites. Successful applicants for Part B will be required to closely collaborate with a Ryan White-funded HIV medical service site that is either co-located with the Title X site, or has an established, collabor ative relationship with the Title X service site that is funded under Part A of this announcement. Up to ten (10) enhanced linkage sites will be funded under the Part B component. Part B applicants must provide documented evidence of: 1) co-location with a RyanWhite-funded HIV medical service site; or 2) a current, established collaboration with one ormore Ryan White-funded HIV medical service sites. Regardless of whether the Ryan WhitefundedHIV medical service site and family planning site are co-located, they must have an established collaborative relationship, and the application must include evidence of agreement to collaborate on this project. |
