DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Part C Early Intervention Services Grant under the Ryan White

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of a non-competitive one-time replacement award from
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Part C funds for the Louisiana State
University, Health Sciences Center, Viral Disease Clinic in Shreveport,
Department of Medicine, Shreveport, Louisiana.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: HRSA will be giving a non-competitive one-time replacement
award to support comprehensive primary care services for persons living
with HIV/AIDS, including primary medical care, laboratory testing, oral
health care, outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment,
specialty and subspecialty care, referrals for health and support
services and adherence monitoring/education services to the Louisiana
State University, Health Sciences Center, Viral Disease Clinic to
ensure continuity of critical HIV medical care and treatment services,
to clients in Shreveport, Louisiana.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 73111]]
Grantee of record: Premier Care and Learning Center, Shreveport,
Louisiana.
Intended recipient of the award: Louisiana State University, Health
Sciences Center, Shreveport, Louisiana.
Amount of the award: $268,377 to ensure ongoing clinical services
to the target population.
Authority: Section 2651 of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 300ff-51.
CFDA Number: 93.918.
Project period: July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011. The period of
support for this non-competitive one-time replacement award is from
July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011.
Justification for the Exception to Competition
Critical funding for HIV medical care and treatment services to
clients in Shreveport, Louisiana, will be continued through a non-
competitive replacement award to an existing grant award to the
Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center, Viral Disease
Clinic. This is a non-competitive one-time replacement award because
the previous grant recipient serving this population notified HRSA that
it would not continue in the program after the fiscal year (FY) 2010
award was made. Louisiana State University, Health Sciences Center,
Viral Disease Clinic is the best qualified grantee for this supplement,
since it serves many of the former grantee's patients and is the
closest Part C Program to the former grantee. Further funding beyond
June 30, 2011, for this service area will be competitively awarded
during the Part C HIV Early Intervention Service competing application
process for FY 2011.
