effective fiscal year (FY) 2007. In order
for grantees under Parts A, B, and C to
be exempted from the 75 percent core
medical services requirement, they must
request and receive a waiver from
HRSA, as required in the Act.
Beginning in FY 2008, HRSA will
utilize new standards for granting
waivers of the core medical services
requirement for the Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program. These standards meet
the intent of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 to
increase access to core medical services,
including antiretroviral drugs, for
persons with HIV/AIDS and to ensure
that grantees receiving waivers
demonstrate the availability of such
services for individuals with HIV/AIDS
identified and eligible under Title XXVI
of the PHS Act. The core medical
services waiver uniform standard and
waiver request process will apply to
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grant
awards under Parts A, B, and C of Title
XXVI of the PHS Act. Core medical
services waivers will be effective for a
one-year period consistent with the
grant award period.
Grantees must submit a waiver
request with the annual grant
application containing the certifications
and documentation which will be
utilized by HRSA in making
determinations regarding waiver
requests.
