Proposed Project: Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency 
Act of 1990-Title IV (OMB #0915-0206)--Extension

    This is a request for extension of the reporting system of the Ryan 
White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990, Title 
IV as amended by the Ryan White CARE Act Amendments of 1996. It 
authorizes a reporting system to collect information from grantees and 
the service providers that are their subcontractors as governed under 
Section 2671 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 USC 300ff-71).
    Title IV provides support for coordinated HIV services and access 
to research for children, youth, women, and families. It supports 
efforts to develop comprehensive, coordinated, culturally competent, 
family-centered systems of care and to provide access to research for 
those infected or affected by HIV infection. The Title IV program 
supports a broad variety of interventions in health care delivery that 
are designed to link clients receiving health care to other essential 
and supporting services and to clinical research. Grants are made to 
public and private non-profit health centers and other appropriate 
public or non-profit private entities that are linked to a 
comprehensive health care system. This system includes clinical 
research for children, youth, and women. The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) 
within HRSA administers funds for Title IV of the CARE Act.
    There are 53 grantees under Title IV's Children, Youth, Women and 
Families Program, with approximately 125 affiliated service providers, 
for a total of 178 entities who report information about the clients 
they serve and the services they provide. Grantees are located in 27 
States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
