Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program: Client-Level Data
Reporting System: (OMB No. 0915–
0323)—Extension
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program’s
client-level data reporting system, the
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services
Report or Ryan White Services Report
(RSR), created in 2008 by HRSA, is
designed to collect information from
grantees, as well as their subcontracted
service providers, funded under Parts A,
B, C, and D, and the Part F Minority
AIDS Initiative of the Title XXVI of the
Public Health Service Act (Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program). The Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program provides the
programs with the flexibility to respond
effectively to the changing HIV
epidemic. Its emphasis is on providing
life-saving and life-extending services
for people living with HIV/AIDS across
the country, and on targeting resources
to areas that have the greatest needs.
All parts of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program specify HRSA’s responsibilities
in the administration of grant funds, the
allocation of funds, the evaluation of
programs for the population served, and
the improvement of the quality of care.
Accurate records of the providers
receiving Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program funding, the services provided,
and the clients served continue to be
critical to the implementation of the
legislation and thus are necessary for
HRSA to fulfill its responsibilities.
The RSR provides data on the
characteristics of Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program-funded grantees, their
contracted service providers, and the
clients being served with program
funds. The reporting system consists of
two online data forms: the Grantee
Report, completed by all grantees, and
the Service Provider Report, completed
by all subcontracted service providers.
Each provider that delivers direct client
services also submits a data file

containing one de-identified record for
each client that received a Ryan Whitefunded service during the year. The
client record contains information on
demographic status, HIV medical and
support services received, and HIV
clinical information.
The RSR provides the grantees with
the requisite information to assess
quality of care and unmet need, and the
ability to more accurately and efficiently
report these figures to HRSA and other
funding agencies than is possible with
an aggregate data reporting system. In
addition, HRSA will be able to perform
detailed analyses and to characterize
accurately the number of clients served
by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
and the outcomes of the program
services on a national scale. Because
grantees associate a unique client
identifier that is encrypted before
transfer to each client record, HRSA is
able to link data for clients across Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program-funded
grantees and their subcontracted service
providers.
With an increased emphasis on
grantee accountability and linking
performance to budget, the RSR will be
used to ensure compliance with the
requirements of the legislation; to
evaluate the progress of programs; to
monitor grantee and provider
performance; to measure the
Government Performance and Result
Act (GPRA) and the Performance
Assessment Rating Tool (PART) goals;
and to meet reporting responsibilities to
the Department, Congress, and OMB. In
addition to meeting the goal of
accountability to Congress, clients,
advocacy groups, and the general
public, information collected through
the RSR is critical for HRSA, State and
local grantees, and individual providers.
Through the RSR, these groups will
assess the status of existing HIV-related
service delivery systems, investigate
trends in service utilization, and
identify areas of greatest need.
The response burden for grantees is
estimated as:
