Request for Proposals

Kansas AIDS Section logo

The primary goal of this RFP is to ensure equitable and quality access to all Kansans living with HIV/AIDS to the Ryan White Title II CARE Program specifically through linkages to case management services. The agencies selected must demonstrate an ability to communicate with and have access to the community to be served for the entire CARE Region of the contract. Agencies must demonstrate an ability to successfully work with this population in the services provided through case management and have access to a network of community resources to meet the needs of the clients. Collaboration with local health departments and other agencies is vital to the successful performance of this contract. The agency must demonstrate an ability to secure other funding sources to meet the needs of case management that are not provided for within the constraints of this funding source.

Disbursement of funds occurs to agencies through the competitive RFP process for the upcoming fiscal year (April 2007 – March 2008). The awards will be granted in care regions 3 through 9 in varying amounts based upon the level of need of a given region. Regions 1 and 2 fall under Kansas City Missouri Ryan White Title I purview and no funding is provided for those areas. Grants will be awarded for a three-year cycle awarded yearly, with funds dependent upon availability of funding and grantee compliance with continuous quality improvement policies and procedures.
