Description
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement to support the implementation of nutrition interventions for people with HIV. The goal of this project is to reduce the burden of chronic disease and improve HIV outcomes by providing technical assistance to demonstration sites and evaluating the effectiveness of adapted and replicated interventions. The recipient will be responsible for identifying and selecting evidence-based interventions, creating a network of demonstration sites, and providing direct implementation technical assistance. The project will align with the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program service categories and promote adoption of the intervention among Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-funded organizations. Key aspects of the project include:
* Reducing the burden of cardiometabolic disease among people with HIV
* Improving the delivery of nutrition services for people with HIV
* Using implementation science to adapt, implement, and evaluate effective nutrition service programs
* Providing technical assistance to demonstration sites
* Evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions
* Disseminating resources and learnings to Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-funded organizations
The project will have a total funding amount of $2,500,000 for the first year, with the possibility of additional funding for subsequent years. The project period is expected to be 48 months, from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2030.
