Non-competitive Fiscal Year 2017 Supplemental Funding Award Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Program, Part F Special Projects of National 
Significance

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This non-competitive supplemental award to the University of 
California, San Francisco (UCSF), the Evaluation and Technical 
Assistance Center (ETAC) for the Culturally Appropriate Interventions 
of Outreach, Access and Retention among Latino/a Populations 
initiative, will support the costs of analysis, publication, and 
dissemination of findings and best practices learned from the 
initiative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Intended Recipient of the Award: UCSF (U90HA26507).
    Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $100,000.
    Period of Funding: September 1, 2017, through August 31, 2018.
    CFDA Number: No. 93.928.

    Authority: Public Health Service Act, Section 2691 (42 U.S.C. 
300ff-101), as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment 
Extension Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-87).

    Justification: UCSF is currently conducting a multisite evaluation 
and providing technical assistance to the ten demonstration sites 
awarded under this initiative. The sites implement innovative 
interventions that identify Latinos/as at high risk or living with HIV 
in the United States, and improve their access, timely entry, and 
retention in quality HIV primary care. This supplemental funding will 
cover the costs of a special supplemental issue of a top-tier HIV/AIDS 
journal containing findings from the initiative, and support additional 
staff to assist in the analysis, publication, and dissemination of

findings, best practices, and lessons learned. The supported activity 
includes the production of the required interventions manual for the 
initiative documenting the ten intervention models employed by the 
demonstration sites in order to promote the future replication of the 
interventions by Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program recipients and other 
health care providers. Not issuing this award would severely reduce the 
impact of this initiative by limiting the analysis and dissemination of 
best practices and lessons learned to HIV providers serving these 
Latino/a subpopulations. This would weaken efforts to improve the 
health outcomes for Latinos/as living with HIV in the United States.
