DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Part C Early Intervention Services Grant under the Ryan White

ACTION: Notice of a non-competitive one-time replacement award from 
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Part C funds for the Louisiana State 
University, Health Sciences Center, Viral Disease Clinic in Shreveport, 
Department of Medicine, Shreveport, Louisiana.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: HRSA will be giving a non-competitive one-time replacement 
award to support comprehensive primary care services for persons living 
with HIV/AIDS, including primary medical care, laboratory testing, oral 
health care, outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment, 
specialty and subspecialty care, referrals for health and support

State University, Health Sciences Center, Viral Disease Clinic to 
ensure continuity of critical HIV medical care and treatment services, 
to clients in Shreveport, Louisiana.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 73111]]

    Grantee of record: Premier Care and Learning Center, Shreveport, 
Louisiana.
    Intended recipient of the award: Louisiana State University, Health 
Sciences Center, Shreveport, Louisiana.
    Amount of the award: $268,377 to ensure ongoing clinical services 
to the target population.

    Authority: Section 2651 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C. 300ff-51.

    CFDA Number: 93.918.
    Project period: July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011. The period of 
support for this non-competitive one-time replacement award is from 
July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011.

Justification for the Exception to Competition

    Critical funding for HIV medical care and treatment services to 
clients in Shreveport, Louisiana, will be continued through a non-
competitive replacement award to an existing grant award to the 
Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center, Viral Disease 
Clinic. This is a non-competitive one-time replacement award because 
the previous grant recipient serving this population notified HRSA that 
it would not continue in the program after the fiscal year (FY) 2010 
award was made. Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center, 
Viral Disease Clinic is the best qualified grantee for this supplement, 
since it serves many of the former grantee's patients and is the 
closest Part C Program to the former grantee. Further funding beyond
    June 30, 2011, for this service area will be competitively awarded 
during the Part C HIV Early Intervention Service competing application 
process for FY 2011.
