Division of Service Systems

Introduction TOP

The Division of Service Systems (DSS) within HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) administers Title I and Title II of the Ryan White CARE Act. HAB/DSS has responsibility for the following programs: 

  • Title I formula and supplemental grants for eligible metropolitan areas (EMAs) with the highest number of AIDS cases. As of Fiscal Year 2002, 51 EMAs received Title I grants.
  • Title II formula and discretionary funds for States and territories. Title II services are funded under five program areas: consortia, home- and community-based care, insurance continuity, medications through AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP), and State direct services.

Title I and II Project Officers TOP

  • Each Title I EMA and Title II State has an assigned project officer in DSS. The role of the project officer is to:
  • Be the primary contact between grantees and DSS.
  • Facilitate the exchange of information needed by grantees, planning councils or other Title I representatives that directly affect the implementation and administration of Title I programs. This information may relate directly to grantee roles and responsibilities, planning council roles and mandated functions, and service provider issues such as reporting requirements.
  • Monitor and document programmatic performance to ensure compliance with legislative requirements through monthly calls with the grantee and planning council; conducting site visits; reviewing grantee specific submissions such as grant applications, conditions of award, grievance procedures, carry-over requests, by-laws, needs assessments and comprehensive plans.
  • Identify and respond to specific technical assistance needs of EMAs, grantees and planning councils. The project officer is the point of contact to coordinate the request to begin technical assistance.
  • Maintain a summary of major grantee key program accomplishments and challenges.
  • Represent the concerns/perspectives of grantees in HRSA/HAB initiatives.
