DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Part C Early Intervention Services Grant

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of non-competitive program expansion supplemental award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will 
be providing temporary critical HIV medical care and treatment services 
through the Greenwood Leflore Hospital (GLH) Magnolia Medical Clinic to 
avoid a disruption of HIV clinical care to clients in Bolivar, 
Sunflower and Washington Counties in Mississippi.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intended recipient of the award: GLH 
Magnolia Medical Clinic, Greenwood, Mississippi.
    Amount of the Award: $73,125 to ensure ongoing clinical services to 
the target population.

    Authority: Section 2651 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C. 300ff-51.
    CFDA Number: 93.918.
    Period of Support: The period of supplemental support is from April 
1, 2009 to June 30, 2009.
    Justification for the Exception to Competition:
    Critical funding for HIV medical care and treatment services to 
clients in Bolivar, Sunflower and Washington Counties in Mississippi 
will be continued through a non-competitive program expansion 
supplement to an existing grant award to the GLH Magnolia Medical 
Clinic in Greenwood, Mississippi. This is a temporary award because the 
previous grant recipient serving this population notified HRSA that it 
would not continue in the program. GLH Magnolia Medical clinic is the 
best qualified grantee for this supplement since it serves many of the 
former grantee's patients and is the closest Part C Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
Program to the former grantee. Further funding beyond June 30, 2009 for 
this service area will be competitively awarded during the next Part C 
HIV Early Intervention Service competing application process for FY 
2009.
