HRSA’s AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP) is funded through Part
B of Title XXVI of the Public Health
Service Act, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program, which provides grants to
States and Territories. The ADAP
provides medications for the treatment
of HIV disease. Program funds may also
be used to purchase health insurance for
eligible clients or for services that
enhance access, adherence, and
monitoring of drug treatments.
Each of the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and several
Territories receive ADAP grants. As part
of the funding requirements, ADAP
grantees submit quarterly reports that
include information on patients served,
pharmaceuticals prescribed, pricing,
and other sources of support to provide
AIDS medication treatment, eligibility
requirements, cost data, and
coordination with Medicaid. Each
quarterly report requests updates from
programs on number of patients served,
type of pharmaceuticals prescribed, and
prices paid to provide medication. The
first quarterly report of each ADAP
fiscal year (due in July of each year) also
requests information that only changes
annually (e.g., State funding, drug
formulary, eligibility criteria for
enrollment, and cost-saving strategies
including coordinating with Medicaid).
The quarterly report represents the
best method for HRSA to determine how
ADAP grants are being expended and to
provide answers to requests from
Congress and other organizations.

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:
653
