The amount of the noncompetitive award is $250,239. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dated: August 27, 2014. Mary K. Wakefield, Administrator. Section RR–20, Functions [FR Doc. 2014–21012 Filed 9–3–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4165–15–P Authority: Section 2692 of the Public Health Service Act, 42, U.S.C. 300ff–111. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES CFDA Number: 93.145 Period of Supplemental Funding: July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015. Justification: With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, more people, including those living with HIV/AIDS, are able to access care and are being seen by providers in a variety of settings, including community health care centers. This has resulted in an increased need for primary care providers to receive training in HIV care. A program expansion supplement will allow the NWAETC to develop a comprehensive portfolio of web-based, HIV primary care distance learning and assessment resources and tools that will reach greater numbers of health care providers across the nation. This free, state-of-the-art HIV care and treatment curriculum will be evidence-based and aligned with up-to-date federal guidelines. Further, the curriculum would be accessed in an online environment that is effective at assessing HIV training needs, providing relevant, tailored training to meet those needs, and will monitor and evaluate individual and group progress throughout the curriculum. The University of Washington NWAETC, now in the fifth year of a 5-year project ending on June 30, 2015, is uniquely positioned to rapidly develop and deliver the national HIV care and treatment distance curriculum, having the necessary infrastructure for implementation already developed and in place, and having previously demonstrated the capacity to develop similar products. A distance HIV curriculum is consistent with the goals of the AETC program—to provide HIV treatment education, clinical consultation, capacity building, and technical assistance to health care professionals and agencies. An on-line HIV care and treatment training curriculum will help to better meet the HIV training needs of the current health care workforce that is working to achieve the goals of the National HIV/ AIDS Strategy (NHAS).
