HIV and Opioid Use Disorder Funding

HRSA has just released a NOFO for a new 3-year SPNS Initiative entitled "Strengthening Systems of Care for People Living with HIV and Opioid Use Disorder.”  The Initiative will fund an estimated one (1) to four (4) entities, referred to as System Coordination Providers (SCPs), to assist states in leveraging resources at federal, state, and local levels for people living with HIV (PLWH) and opioid use disorder (OUD).  

The specific goal of the Initiative is to strengthen system-level coordination and networks of care between the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipients and other federal, state and local entities funded to respond to the recent opioid epidemic, so that PLWH and OUD will have access to behavioral health care, treatment, and recovery services.  Information on the specific NOFO can be found at: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html?keywords=HRSA-19-038.  HRSA requires you to apply electronically, through Grants.gov using the SF-424 workspace application package associated with this NOFO and following the directions provided at http://www.grants.gov/applicants/apply-forgrants.html.

A Pre-Application Webinar related to the NOFO is scheduled for 2-3:30pm ET, on Wednesday, February 13, 2019.  Responses are due on Tuesday, April 16.  Questions regarding this NOFO can be directed to Adan Cajina at ACajina@hrsa.gov,  or SPNS@hrsa.gov.
