Policies & Program Letters
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program was enacted in 1990 and reauthorized in 1996, 2000, 2006, and 2009. The legislation, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-87, October 30, 2009), delineates the statutory requirements of the program. For more legislative information, visit the Library of Congress' THOMAS.
HRSA develops policies that implement the legislation, providing guidance to grantees in understanding and implementing legislative requirements. These policies are listed below, followed by program letters, which provide additional guidance for grantees. In addition, each grantee must comply with Conditions of Award (COA). All HHS discretionary grant and cooperative agreement awards include the COA requirement to comply with the HHS Grants Policy Statement.
