Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program HIV Care Grant Program – Part B States/Territories Formula and AIDS Drug Assistance Program Formula and ADAP Supplemental Awards

Background
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part B Base, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Base, ADAP Supplemental, Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI), and Emerging Communities (EC) program is designed to assist states and territories in developing and/or enhancing access to a comprehensive continuum of high-quality HIV care and treatment for low-income people with HIV. The program supports the HIV National Strategic Plan goals to prevent new HIV infections, improve HIV-related health outcomes, reduce disparities and health inequities, and achieve integrated and coordinated efforts to address the HIV epidemic among all partners and stakeholders.

Grant Details
The RWHAP Part B/ADAP recipients must use grant funds to support, develop and expand systems of care to meet the needs of people with HIV. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) requires that the RWHAP Part B/ADAP Programs conduct needs assessments and use needs assessment data to make decisions on services needed to eliminate barriers faced by people with HIV in accessing and remaining in medical care. The program also encourages recipients to assess the outcomes of their programs and work with their community and public health partners to improve outcomes across the HIV care continuum. The program also emphasizes the importance of integrated data sharing, analysis, and utilization for program planning, conducting needs assessments, determining unmet need estimates, reporting, quality improvement, enhancing the HIV care continuum, and public health action.
