Regional AETCs Funding Levels in FY 2020 and throughout the period
of performance. Funding beyond FY 2020 is subject to the availability
of appropriated funds, satisfactory recipient performance, and a
decision that continued funding is in the best interest of the federal
government.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award: Regional AIDS Education and
Training Centers as listed on TABLE 1.
Amount of Award: $2,400,000 available in FY 2020. See TABLE 1 for
award amounts in each subsequent year of each regional AETC's period of
performance.
CFDA Number: 93.145.
Project Period: March 1, 2020- June 30, 2024.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 300ff-111(a) (section 2692(a) of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act), 42 U.S.C. 300ff-121 (section 2693 of the PHS
Act), and Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Pub. L. 116-
94).
Justification: The award recipients will provide specialized HIV
focused training and technical assistance (T/TA) to providers in
geographic areas with the highest HIV burden, targeted as Ending the
HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE) jurisdictions, which are 48
counties; Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and seven states that
have a substantial rural HIV burden. Since the AETC regional centers
operate in all U.S. states and territories, the target areas of the EHE
are already encompassed in their service areas. This geographic
coverage offers HRSA a strategic opportunity to leverage the existing
AETC infrastructure and their established networks of health care
providers and professional training institutions to provide critical,
time-sensitive training and technical assistance in EHE jurisdictions.
Further, since the goals of the AETC program directly align with the
goals of the EHE initiative, regional AETCs are uniquely positioned to
immediately begin delivering targeted, multidisciplinary education and
training to new and experienced health care professionals to enable
them to provide quality HIV care and treatment in the EHE
jurisdictions. Supplemental funds are necessary to support timely
implementation of critical training and technical assistance to
providers in geographic locations identified by the EHE initiative. The
award recipients have the demonstrated expertise and scalable
experience required to address these time-sensitive training and
technical assistance needs.
