**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
*Intended Recipient of the Award:* Regional AIDS Education and Training Centers as listed on TABLE 1.
*Amount of Award:* $2,400,000 available in FY 2020. See TABLE 1 for award amounts in each subsequent year of each regional AETC's period of performance.
*CFDA Number:* 93.145.
*Project Period:* March 1, 2020- June 30, 2024.
*Authority:* 42 U.S.C. 300ff-111(a) (section 2692(a) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act), 42 U.S.C. 300ff-121 (section 2693 of the PHS Act), and Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (Pub. L. 116-94).
*Justification:* The award recipients will provide specialized HIV focused training and technical assistance (T/TA) to providers in geographic areas with the highest HIV burden, targeted as Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE) jurisdictions, which are 48 counties; Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and seven states that have a substantial rural HIV burden. Since the AETC regional centers operate in all U.S. states and territories, the target areas of the EHE are already encompassed in their service areas. This geographic coverage offers HRSA a strategic opportunity to leverage the existing AETC infrastructure and their established networks of health care providers and professional training institutions to provide critical, time-sensitive training and technical assistance in EHE jurisdictions. Further, since the goals of the AETC program directly align with the goals of the EHE initiative, regional AETCs are uniquely positioned to immediately begin delivering targeted, multidisciplinary education and training to new and experienced health care professionals to enable them to provide quality HIV care and treatment in the EHE jurisdictions. Supplemental funds are necessary to support timely implementation of critical training and technical assistance to providers in geographic locations identified by the EHE initiative. The award recipients have the demonstrated expertise and scalable experience required to address these time-sensitive training and technical assistance needs.
