DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Part C Early Intervention Services Grant Under the Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive transfer of Part C funds from 
Cathedral Healthcare System to Saint Michael's Medical Center.

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

SUMMARY: HRSA will be transferring Part C funds to Saint Michael's 
Medical Center as a noncompetitive replacement award in order to ensure 
continuity of critical HIV medical care and treatment services and to 
avoid a disruption of HIV clinical care to clients in Metropolitan 
Newark, and Essex County in New Jersey.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Grantee of record: Cathedral Healthcare 
System.
    Intended recipient of the award: Saint Michael's Medical Center, 
Newark, New Jersey.
    Amount of the award: $537,607 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.
    Project period: April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2010. The period of 
support for the replacement award is from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 
2010.
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: Critical funding 
for HIV medical care and treatment services to clients in Metropolitan 
Newark and Essex County in New Jersey will be continued through a 
noncompetitive supplement to Saint Michael's Medical Center, a prior 
sub-contractor of Cathedral Healthcare System, the grantee of record in 
Newark, New Jersey. This is a temporary replacement award as the 
previous grant recipient serving this population notified HRSA that 
they will not continue providing services after March 31, 2009. The 
Cathedral Healthcare System, the former grantee, has ceased governance 
and operations of its three hospitals. Saint Michael's Medical Center 
is the best qualified recipient for this supplement, as it already 
serves most of the former grantee's patients ensuring continuity of 
care, and can continue to provide critical services with the least 
amount of disruption to the service population while the service area 
is re-competed.
    This supplement will cover the time period from April 1, 2009, 
through

March 31, 2010. This service area will be included in the upcoming 
competition for the Part C HIV Early Intervention Services for project 
periods starting April 2010.
