Supporting Interventions with Technical Assistance

Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to fund one organization to implement and evaluate tailored technical assistance (TA) to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipients. The purpose of this initiative is to support the uptake of interventions by providing tailored, needs-based TA to RWHAP recipients and providers to address barriers to intervention start-up, such as competing priorities and not knowing how to adapt interventions to fit their organizational structures or client populations. By providing tailored TA and a one-time funding amount to cover start-up costs, RWHAP recipients and providers will be able to address these barriers and strengthen their ability to integrate and sustain innovative HIV care models. The adoption of these interventions across the HIV health care system will improve HIV health outcomes and reduce transmission of HIV. This funding opportunity is supported by the HRSA RWHAP Part F: Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Program. Funding supports an implementation science approach to adapt, implement, and evaluate the implementation of HIV care innovations. It also builds upon previous and current projects to increase the uptake of disseminated interventions that have been funded by HRSA"s HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB).The proposed initiative will identify a representative set of RWHAP recipient and/or provider sites (up to 20 sites funded as subrecipients by the recipient, divided into two (2) phases) to receive short-term, tailored implementation support and resources to jump start efforts to adapt or replicate existing interventions. The recipient will work with the sites to understand their specific needs and organizational structure to develop tailored resources and TA to adapt or replicate selected emerging, evidence-informed, and evidence-based interventions and other HIV care innovations.
