The Health Resources and Services Administration is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Supporting People with HIV as Leaders in HIV Systems of Care". This program aims to support leadership development and enhance meaningful engagement for people with HIV in health care planning and programs, specifically those funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP).

The program activities include conducting training of trainers (ToT) for people with HIV on leadership in RWHAP activities, providing support to ToT trainees to help them achieve their goals, and developing and disseminating relevant tools and lessons learned from the project.

The objectives of the program are to increase leadership capacity, representation, and engagement of people with HIV in RWHAP planning, development, implementation, evaluation, and clinical quality management activities. It also aims to develop skills and support knowledge transfer through peer learning for people with HIV, and enhance their readiness to meaningfully engage in activities that impact HIV systems of care and operations.

Applicants eligible for funding under RWHAP Parts A and F of the Public Health Service Act, including public or private non-profit organizations, state or local governments, academic institutions, local health departments, non-profit hospitals or outpatient clinics, community health centers, community-based organizations, and tribal entities, can apply for this grant opportunity.
