DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Health Resources and Services 

Administration 

Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Part F 

AIDS Education and Training Centers 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of non-competitive, 

HRSA-initiated, Secretary’s Minority 

AIDS Initiative Fund (SMAIF) 

supplemental funding award: Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2017 Ryan White HIV/AIDS 

Program (RWHAP) AIDS Education and 

Training Centers (AETC) to the National 

Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC) at 

the University of California, San 

Francisco. 

SUMMARY: This non-competitive 

supplemental funding award will 

provide a phone consultation line 

staffed by clinicians dedicated to 

providing technical support and realtime clinical consultation to health 

professionals who treat people living 

with HIV (PLWH) who are coinfected 

with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Sherrillyn Crooks, Chief, HIV Education 

Branch, HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health 

Resources and Services Administration, 

5600 Fishers Lane, 09N09, Rockville, 

MD 20857, Phone: (301) 443–7662, 

Email: scrooks@hrsa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Intended Recipient of the Award: The 

University of California, San Francisco. 

Amount of Non-Competitive Award: 

$200,000. 

Period of Funding: July 1, 2017, 

through June 30, 2018. 

CFDA Number: 93.145. 

Authority: The Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2017 (Pub. L. 115– 

31), Division H, Title II. 

Justification 

HRSA’s SMAIF HIV/HCV initiatives 

seek to improve the prevention, 

screening, care, treatment, and cure of 

HCV in areas affected by HIV/HCV 

coinfection, particularly in 

disproportionately affected low-income, 

uninsured and underserved racial and 

ethnic minority populations in the 

United States. Despite the fact that HIV 

treatment outcomes continue to improve 

among PLWH, HIV/HCV coinfection 

remains a major concern with 

approximately one quarter of PLWH 

also coinfected with HCV. 

The University of California, San 

Francisco’s NCCC is funded under the 

RWHAP AETC Program, which 

comprises a network of three national 

centers and eight regional centers (with 

more than 130 local affiliated sites) that 

conduct targeted, multidisciplinary 

education, training, and technical 

assistance to health care providers who 

treat PLWH. The NCCC provides 

nationwide expert technical support, 

and clinical consultation services to 

health professionals who treat PLWH. 

Supplemental funding will enable the 

NCCC to leverage its existing 

infrastructure to add an HIV/HCV phone 

consultation line to deliver immediate 

clinical consultation and education 

services to RWHAP clinical providers 

funded through the SMAIF HIV/HCV 

initiatives and to clinical providers 

nationwide. Clinical providers will 

receive guidance based on up-to-date 

clinical HCV guidelines. Subject to the 

availability of funds and the recipient’s 

satisfactory performance, up to $200,000 

will also be awarded in FY18 (budget 

period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 

2019) and FY19 (budget period July 1, 

2019 through June 30, 2020). 

Denial of this request will prevent 

RWHAP clinical providers from 

achieving the goals of the SMAIF HIV/ 

HCV initiative and from gaining critical 

and immediate access to a national 

network of HIV/HCV resources, 

including clinical experts who would 

provide education and technical 

assistance that meets the unique needs 

of this initiative. 

Dated: September 14, 2017.
