PART C EIS: CATEGORICAL GRANT PROGRAM TO PROVIDE OUTPATIENT EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES WITH RESPECT TO HIV DISEASE   Details of the changes posted in this announcement: Correction was made to application package post date. Date was changed from 11/20/06 to 11/20/08. Announcement Information Announcement Number HRSA-09-100 Announcement Code Not Available CFDA Number 93.918 Provisional No Activity Code H76 Competitive Yes Fiscal Year 2009 Purpose The purpose of this funding is to provide, on an ongoing outpatient basis, high quality early intervention services/primary care to individuals with HIV infection.  These services become part of a continuum of HIV prevention and care for individuals who are at risk for HIV infections or are HIV infected.  All early intervention services (EIS) programs must provide:  HIV counseling and testing; counseling and education on living with HIV; appropriate medical evaluation and clinical care; and other essential services such as oral health care, outpatient mental health services, outpatient substance abuse services and nutritional services, and appropriate referrals for specialty services. For the EIS Grants, a major focus is on increasing access to HIV primary care and support services for communities of color.  Funding available through the Minority AIDS Initiative has improved our ability to fund indigenous organizations and those serving communities of color to deliver and implement culturally/linguistically proficient primary care HIV services.  Funding preferences have been established for organizations serving communities of color that are highly affected by HIV/AIDS in an effort to improve care, and reduce disparities in health outcomes.   Legislative Information Public Health Service Act, Section 2651, 42 USC 300ff-51 Application Information Application Available Nov 20, 2008 Application Deadline Jan 23, 2009 8:00 PM ET Explanation for Deadline Not Available Archive Date Mar 24, 2009 Letter of Intent Deadline Not Available.
