SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Recipients: Two current National Training and Technical Assistance 
Cooperative Agreement award recipients, as listed in Table 1.
    Amount of Non-Competitive Awards: Two awards with a combined total 
of $249,000.
    Period of Supplemental Funding: Fiscal year 2019.
    CFDA Number: 93.129.
    Authority: Section 330(l) of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.
    Justification: The award recipients will provide specialized 
training and technical assistance (T/TA) to health centers in 
geographic areas with the highest HIV burden, which include 48 
counties; Washington, DC; San Juan; Puerto Rico; as well as seven 
states that have a substantial rural HIV burden. JSI Research and 
Training Institute, Inc. will provide T/TA focused on the use of data 
in HIV outreach, in-reach, and prevention efforts. Fenway Community 
Health Center will provide T/TA focused on expanding the use of pre-
exposure prophylaxis and addressing barriers to patients seeking HIV 
prevention care. Supplemental funds are necessary to support timely 
implementation of critical T/TA to health centers in geographic 
locations identified by the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. The 
award recipients have the demonstrated expertise and scalable 
experience required to swiftly address these time-sensitive T/TA needs.
