Description: The Addressing Stigma to End the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. program will leverage expertise and resources of HRSA, NIH, and CDC to accomplish the goal of increasing access to stigma-free, high-quality care, treatment, and prevention services for people who have yet to be successfully maintained in HIV care and those who experience higher rates of HIV in the U.S. HRSA will fund one recipient to serve as the Implementation, Capacity, and Evaluation Provider who will deliver training and work with demonstration sites (subrecipients) to use an implementation science approach to adapt, implement, evaluate, and disseminate anti-stigma interventions that address social, structural, and organizational causes of stigma and discrimination. The objectives of this program are to: &#8226; Strengthen and promote a culture of anti-stigma across HHS-funded organizations that provide HIV care, treatment, and prevention services. &#8226; Increase the availability and dissemination of tools that HIV care, treatment, and prevention organizations (including those that provide RWHAP and Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative recipients and subrecipients) can adopt and adapt to address stigma within their organizations. &#8226; Increase utilization of evidence-informed anti-stigma interventions within HIV care, treatment, and prevention organizations. &#8226; Reduce stigmatizing practices and behaviors among providers and staff at HIV care, treatment, and prevention organizations to improve outcomes. Refer also to the Program requirements and expectations.
