DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Part D Grant for Coordinated HIV Services and Access to Research 
for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth Part D Funds Under the Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Non-competitive Award of Part D Funds for the 
University of Utah.

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

SUMMARY: HRSA will be awarding, non-competitively, Part D Funds to 
support family-centered primary medical care, treatment, and support 
services (directly or through contracts) for women, infants, children, 
and youth with HIV/AIDS, to the University of Utah in order to ensure 
continuity of critical HIV medical care and support services, to women, 
infants, children and youth in Salt Lake City, Utah and the surrounding 
counties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Grantee of record: Utah Department of Health, Salt Lake City, Utah.
    Intended recipient of the award: University of Utah, Salt Lake 
City, Utah.
    Amount of the award: $350.000 to ensure continuity of medical care 
and support services to the target population.

    Authority: Section 2671 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C. 300ff-71.

    CFDA Number: 93.918.
    Project period: August 1, 2010, to July 31, 2011. The period of 
support for this award is from August 1, 2010, to July 31, 2011.

Justification for the Exception to Competition

    Funding for critical HIV medical care and support services to 
women, infants, children and youth in Salt Lake City, Utah and the 
surrounding areas will be continued through a non-competitive award to 
the University of Utah. The Utah Department of Health is currently 
contracting all of these services to the University of Utah. The 
University of Utah has the clinical, fiscal, and administrative 
infrastructure to administer the Part D Grant since it is currently the 
Part C Early Intervention Services Grant recipient. This is a temporary 
replacement award, as the previous grant recipient serving this 
population notified HRSA that it could not continue as the grantee of 
record after July 31, 2010. HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau identified the 
University of Utah as the best qualified entity for this temporary 
grant. Since the grant's inception, the Utah Department of Health has 
contracted with the University of Utah to provide all Part D services, 
and the University can continue to ensure family-centered care 
involving outpatient or ambulatory care (directly or through contracts) 
for women, infants, children, and youth living with HIV/AIDS. The 
University is able 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 August 1, 2010, 
through July 31, 2011. This service area will be included in the 
upcoming competition for the Part D Coordinated HIV Services and Access 
to Research for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth for project periods 
starting August, 2011.
