AGENCY:

Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION:

Notice of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C Early Intervention Services One-Time Noncompetitive Award To Ensure Continued HIV Primary Medical Care.

SUMMARY:

To prevent a lapse in comprehensive primary care services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, HRSA will provide a one-time noncompetitive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C award to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Inc. (OLOL), Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The amount of the award to ensure ongoing HIV medical services is $348,111.

Authority:

Section 2651 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 42 U.S.C. 300ff-51.

CFDA Number: 93.918.

Project period: The period of support for this award is 13 months, explained below in further detail.

Justification for the Exception to Competition: The Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Earl K. Long Medical Center (Grant Number: H76HA00591) announced the relinquishment of their Part C grant effective April 15, 2013. To prevent a lapse in HIV medical care, grant funds of $348,111 are to be awarded to OLOL to provide interim HIV medical care. The $348,111 represents the balance of the fiscal year 2013 award to cover HIV primary medical care services until April 30, 2014. The service area will be competed under HRSA-14-059 with a program start date of May 1, 2014.
