Federal Ryan White Funding Categories The Ryan White legislation created a number of programs, called Parts, to meet needs for different communities and populations affected by HIV/AIDS. Each is described below: Part A provides emergency assistance to Eligible Metropolitan Areas and Transitional Grant Areas that are most severely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Within Part A, Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) provide core medical and related support services to improve access and reduce disparities in health outcomes in metropolitan areas hardest hit by the epidemic. Part B provides grants to all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 5 U.S. Pacific Territories or Associated Jurisdictions. Additional Part B funds are "earmarked" for State AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP), which primarily provide medications. Under Part B, MAI fund outreach and education services designed to increase minority access to ADAP. Part C provides comprehensive primary health care in an outpatient setting for people living with HIV disease. Under Part C, MAI funds are used by community health centers and other service providers to improve access to early intervention HIV/AIDS services. Part D provides family-centered care involving outpatient or ambulatory care for women, infants, children, and youth with HIV/AIDS ( HIV + WICY) Part F provides funds for a variety of programs: The Special Projects of National Significance Program grants fund innovative models of care and supports the development of effective delivery systems for HIV care. The AIDS Education and Training Centers Program supports a network of 11 regional centers and several National centers that conduct targeted, multidisciplinary education and training programs for health care providers treating people living with HIV/AIDS. The Dental Programs provide additional funding for oral health care for people with HIV. 2
Ryan White Part C & D Consolidation Proposal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) is currently soliciting feedback on the proposed 2015 consolidation of the RW Parts C & D. Rationale is to lessen administrative burden. However will result in less protection for HIV+ WICY specific funding and service levels. Proposing an additional $4 Million funding level. May or may not be off set by expanded eligible applicant pool. Final budget appropriation awaiting Congressional approval. Final Funding Announcement not expected before the fall of 2014, but HRSA/HAB doing concurrent RFP planning. 3
