Details:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), Division of State HIV/AIDS Programs (DSHAP) administers this program.
ADAP ERF awards are intended for states/territories that demonstrate the need for additional resources to prevent, reduce, or eliminate ADAP waiting lists, including through cost-containment measures (for example, the provision of health care coverage assistance). HRSA will base ADAP ERF awards upon your ability to successfully demonstrate need for additional funding.
HRSA first funded the ADAP ERF initiative when numerous states/territories were experiencing ADAP waiting lists. At the time of this NOFO publication, there are no ADAP waiting lists. States/territories that establish a waiting list after the publication of this NOFO must report the waiting list to HRSA immediately and use funding awarded under this NOFO to remove clients from the waiting list. Previously, eligibility for this funding was limited to states/territories that had historically imposed waiting lists. HRSA continues to anticipate an increase in potential clients in need of ADAP services due to loss of income and/or loss of health care coverage among people with HIV. States/territories may use ERF funds to address current or projected increases in treatment needs aligned with ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. or other unanticipated increases in the number of clients in their ADAP.
Funding Information
HRSA estimates approximately $75,000,000 to be available annually to fund 25 recipients. If you have a current ADAP waiting list, you may apply for a ceiling amount of up to $10,000,000 total cost. If you do not have a current ADAP waiting list, you may apply for a ceiling amount of up to $7,000,000 total cost. The minimum award amount is $100,000, subject to the availability of funds.
Period of Performance
The period of performance is April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025 (1 year).
