DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, AIDS Education and Training Centers, 
Graduate Medical Education Grant Under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program

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

ACTION: Notice of a Class Deviation from Competition Requirements for 
the HIV/AIDS Bureau's (HAB) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, AIDS Education 
and Training Centers (AETC), Graduate Medical Education (GME) Program 
(H4A).

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

SUMMARY: HRSA will be issuing non-competitive awards under the Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Program, AETC/GME Program. Approximately $450,000 will 
be made available in the form of a grant to current grantees (listed in 
chart below) during the budget period of July 1, 2014, through June 30, 
2015. This will: (1) Continue the current cohort and provide support 
for one additional cohort of graduate medical residents; (2) continue 
to provide workforce development that is integral to the national 
interest through meeting National HIV/AIDS Strategy goals, and that 
enhances the implementation of the Affordable Care Act; and (3) provide 
a more robust program evaluation that will yield sufficient data; and 
aid HRSA/HAB in future decisions regarding the replication and the 
viability of a subsequent GME competition. The scope of work does not 
change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intended recipients of the awards are the 
three incumbent grantees of record (listed in chart below). The amount 
of the non-competitive awards is $150,000 per grantee.

    Authority: Section 2692 of the Public Health Service Act, 42, 
U.S.C. 300ff-111.

CFDA Number: 93.145

    Project period: July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.
    Justification: The GME Program, which has three funded grantees: 
Yale University (H4AHA22762), Research Foundation of the State 
University of New York (H4AHA22761), and Family Medicine Residency of 
Idaho (H4AHA22760), is scheduled to end June 30, 2014. The Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS AETC/GME Program seeks to provide a one-time non-competitive 
award in order to avoid interruption in continued HIV primary medical 
care education at these three universities by completing the current 
cohort and producing one more cohort of graduates, thus providing 
additional time to accurately assess and evaluate the success of the 
program. This is a primary care training group, which helps link 
critical HIV/AIDS resources within and across communities to help 
expand the clinician workforce capacity to meet the growing demand for 
HIV care by training their medical residents. The purpose of the GME 
program (which ties directly to the shortage of primary health care 
providers in HIV/AIDS care in the United States) is to fund public and 
nonprofit private entities and schools, and academic health science 
centers in order to expand opportunities to train medical residents in 
HIV/AIDS care and treatment. Grant funds are requested in order to 
accomplish this purpose and meet the three objectives described in the 
above summary. This funding is intended to bridge the gap until this 
GME program may be competed again.
