Description

This funding opportunity announcement solicits applications for the Enhancing Engagement and Retention in Quality HIV Care for Transgender Women of Color - Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center, for a new Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Program multi-site initiative. Under this funding opportunity announcement, a cooperative agreement will be issued to support one organization for up to five years to evaluate and provide technical assistance and capacity building for up to eight demonstration projects funded under a separate announcement, Enhancing Engagement and Retention in Quality HIV Care for Transgender Women of Color - Demonstration Sites (HRSA-12-099). Organizations that apply under this announcement may not also apply under the Demonstration Sites announcement. The demonstration projects will design, implement and evaluate innovative interventions designed to improve timely entry, engagement and retention in quality HIV care for transgender women of color living with HIV infection. The primary focus of this initiative is to identify and successfully engage and retain in care transgender women of color who are at high risk of HIV infection or are infected with HIV but are unaware of their HIV status; are aware of their HIV infection but have never been engaged in care; are aware but have refused referral to care; or have dropped out of care.
