Deadline extended. New funding opportunity, using innovative intervention strategies to improve health outcomes among people with HIV, awards up to $190k annually. Completed RFPs are due 6 P.M. EST, march 11, 2022

The deadline to apply for funding through the Using Innovative Intervention Strategies to Improve Health Outcomes Among People With HIV, or 2iS, initiative has been extended to March 11, 2022, at 6 p.m. EST.

Awards of up to $190,000 annually are now available to Ryan White HIV/AIDS programs to support the use of innovative interventions to improve health outcomes among people living with HIV.

Funding is provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s HIV/AIDS Bureau. The Fenway Institute, in partnership with AIDS United, will serve as the Coordinating Center for Technical Assistance for this initiative. 

About 2iS

The goal of 2iS is:

  • To apply the HRSA HAB implementation science framework to identify innovative intervention strategies.
  • Pilot test the intervention strategies at up to 20 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-funded recipient organizations.
  • Provide technical assistance to support implementation at the sites.
  • Develop accessible dissemination products to promote the replication and scale-up of successful intervention strategies in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program and other HIV service organizations nationally.

The intervention strategies will focus on four areas: people with substance use disorders; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and all sexual and gender minority youth; people who are or have been justice-involved; and using telehealth services for people living with HIV.
