SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award: The
University of Washington.
Period of Supplemental Funding:
September 1, 2018–August 31, 2022.
Funding Amount: Subject to the
availability of appropriated funds,
$300,000 each in FY 2018 to FY 2022.
Authority: Section 2692(a) of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42
U.S.C. 300ff–111(a)) and section 2693 of
the PHS Act, as amended by the Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension
Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–87).
CFDA Number: 93.145.
Justification: The Enhancement and
Update of the National HIV Curriculum
e-Learning Platform project responds to
the need to update and enhance the
NHC and the electronic platform that
supports it, and to keep pace with the
latest HIV science, federal guidelines,
treatment protocols, and practices for
educating health professionals on the
optimal care and treatment of people
living with HIV (PLWH). With the
ultimate goal of addressing the shortage
of health professionals who care for
people living with or who are at risk for
HIV (PLWH), the University of
Washington convened a
multidisciplinary panel of clinical and
learning technology experts under the
auspices of the AIDS Education and
Training Centers Program network, to
create the national HIV curriculum.
Released in July 2017, this free, online
curriculum targets multidisciplinary
novice-to-expert health professionals,
students, and faculty who treat or aspire
to treat PLWH. As the developer and
proprietor of the NHC, the University of
Washington is the only entity suitable
for receiving a single source award to
accomplish the critical task of ensuring
that the NHC remains a relevant and
important tool to educate HIV care
providers in the United States.
Throughout the period of
performance, the University of
Washington will work in close
coordination with recipients of awards
under Notice of Funding Opportunity
HRSA–18–045, Integrating the National
PO 00000

HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform
into Health Care Provider Professional
Education. Recipients under HRSA–18–
045 will be collaborating with multiple
health professions’ academic and
training institutions to incorporate the
NHC into their curricula, including
activities to train and orient faculty on
effective methods to integrate the NHC.
Though the University of Washington
will gather feedback on the NHC from
a wide variety of users, a collaboration
with recipients under HRSA–18–045
will facilitate consistent collection, in
real time, of integration practices that
are proving most effective, and
discussion of recommendations for
disseminating those practices. This
collaboration will influence and inform
enhancements to the NHC e-Learning
platform and further HRSA’s goal to
ensure that health professions academic
and training institutions routinely use
this state-of-the-art curriculum thus
increasing the number of competent HIV
treatment providers.
