Description:
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide
counseling and other support services to family caregivers for drug-exposed,
HIV-exposed, HIV- positive or HIV/AIDS affected children. The funds will be
used to establish or enhance a system of support services that should
include, but are not limited to, social services, counseling, legal and
financial services, and assistance with custodial issues. Projects
supported under this funding opportunity are expected to serve as models for
service provision to children and adolescents affected by HIV/AIDS. A model
project funded under this initiative must: (a) Develop and implement an
evidence-based project with specific components or strategies that are based
on theory, research, or evaluation data; or, replicate or test the
transferability of successfully evaluated program models; (b) Determine the
effectiveness of the model and its components or strategies; and (c)
Produce materials that will enable others to replicate the model.
Applicants should have an understanding of family caregiver support and
service needs and a history of involvement with grandparent groups or other
family member caregiver groups that specifically address the needs of
drug-exposed and/or HIV-positive children in their applications. Applicants
should coordinate and collaborate, as appropriate, with other related
programs, such as SAMSHA and Ryan White CARE Act.
