SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Intended Recipient of the Award: JSI (U69HA30144).
    Amount of Non-Competitive Award: $300,000 in FY 2018.
    Period of Funding: July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.
    CFDA Number: No. 93.145.
    Authority: Sections 2606 and 2654(b) of the Public Health Service 
Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 
2009 (Pub. L. 111-87).
    Justification: In 2016, JSI was awarded a 3-year cooperative 
agreement under HRSA-16-082 RWHAP Integrated HIV Planning 
Implementation (CFDA 93.145), authorized by Sections 2606 and 2654(b) 
of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-87). The cooperative 
agreement was established to provide technical assistance to RWHAP 
Parts A and B recipients and their planning bodies regarding: (1) The 
integration of HIV planning across prevention, care, and treatment 
service delivery systems; and (2) the development, implementation, 
monitoring, and evaluation of Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plans. 
RWHAP Parts A and B recipients and planning bodies use Integrated Plans 
to better inform and coordinate HIV prevention and care program 
planning, resource allocation, and continuous quality improvement 
efforts to meet the HIV service delivery needs within their 
jurisdictions.
    The proposed supplemental funding will provide RWHAP Parts A and B 
recipients with additional technical assistance (TA) specifically 
focused on resource allocation planning and implementation. These 
additional TA activities will build upon data elements identified in 
the Integrated Plan and provide jurisdictions with strategies, tools, 
and resources to effectively allocate annual available resources to 
prioritize HIV unmet needs. The TA activities will be directed at 
addressing more efficient and proactive methods in the Priority Setting 
and Resource Allocation (PSRA) process to increase the ability of 
health care providers and systems to ensure people living with HIV are 
linked to care, remain engaged in care, and achieve HIV viral 
suppression.
