Jurisdictional Approach to Curing Hepatitis C Among HIV/HCV Coinfected People of Color - Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center
This announcement solicits applications for fiscal year 2016 Jurisdictional Approach to Curing Hepatitis C among HIV/HCV Coinfected People of Color – Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center. Funding will be provided in the form of a cooperative agreement to support one (1) organization for up to three years to coordinate the efforts of up to four (4) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Parts A and B recipients funded under a separate announcement (HRSA-16-189). The purpose of the Jurisdictional Approach to Curing Hepatitis C among HIV/HCV Coinfected People of Color – Evaluation and Technical Assistance Center initiative is to increase RWHAP Parts A and B jurisdiction-level capacity to provide comprehensive screening, care, and treatment for hepatitis C (HCV). These enhanced jurisdictional systems will increase the numbers of HIV/HCV coinfected people of color who are diagnosed, treated, and cured of HCV infection. Populations of interest include people of color living with HIV that have a high prevalence of coinfection with HCV, including Blacks/African Americans, Latinos/as, American Indians/Alaska Natives, as well as people who inject drugs (PWID). In addition, men who have sex with men (MSM) remain at risk for incident HCV infection.
