Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 021
The National HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform: Enhancements and Operations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 22 021) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) Program (CFDA 93.145). It supports the continued development and day-to-day operation of the National HIV Curriculum (NHC), a free online training resource first released in July 2017. The NHC is designed for a broad, multidisciplinary audience ranging from novice to expert health professionals, as well as students and faculty who provide care, or plan to provide care, for people with HIV or people at risk for HIV. The opportunity focuses on keeping the curriculum current, credible, and easy to use, while also ensuring the underlying technology platform remains stable, secure, and capable of growth.
At its core, the project has two major goals. The first is content-focused: ensuring the National HIV Curriculum consistently reflects the latest HIV science, clinical treatment protocols, best practices, and relevant federal guidelines so health professionals are trained using up-to-date standards for high-quality HIV care and treatment. The second is operations-focused: developing, managing, and maintaining the technology and infrastructure of the NHC e-learning platform so it continues to function reliably as a national training tool. Together, these goals reinforce the broader AETC mission, which is to expand and strengthen the HIV workforce by increasing the number of providers who are prepared and motivated to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage people with HIV, and to support prevention by reducing behaviors that contribute to HIV transmission. The AETC approach typically includes training, education, consultation, and clinical decision support for a wide range of clinical and support roles, and this project extends that work through a web-based curriculum that can reach learners at scale.
A key feature of this funding opportunity is its emphasis on collaboration and user-centered improvement. The funded organization is expected to partner with award recipients from two related HRSA initiatives: HRSA-21-124, Building the HIV Workforce and Strengthening Engagement in Communities of Color (B-SEC), and HRSA-22-022, Integrating the National HIV Curriculum e-Learning Platform into Healthcare Professions Programs. Through these partnerships, the awardee will help ensure the curriculum and platform are shaped by real-world training needs and by lessons learned from implementation in academic and workforce pipeline settings. Specific expectations include strengthening curriculum design methods that support integration of the NHC into health professional education and training programs, systematically incorporating end-user feedback into curriculum updates and platform enhancements, and convening an advisory board to gather structured input and recommendations for improvements.
The opportunity also highlights the need for forward-looking platform development. Beyond routine maintenance, the project must preserve and expand the platform's capacity to host additional modules and new subject matter content over time. It also calls for improved instructional design and the creation of learner pathways, which are structured routes through content that can help different audiences navigate training more efficiently. This includes improving usability and navigation within the platform so learners can more easily find appropriate material, progress through it logically, and have a better overall learning experience.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on December 9, 2021, with an original application closing date of February 7, 2022. HRSA anticipated making one award. The eligibility list includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and additional eligible entities described in the full eligibility guidance. Overall, the grant is designed to sustain a nationally recognized HIV training resource by keeping its clinical content authoritative and its e-learning platform modern, functional, and responsive to the needs of the HIV care workforce.Apply for HRSA 22 021
