HRSA SPNS Cooperative Agreement

A grantee initiative funded by the HIV/AIDS Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration between October 1, 1994, and September 30, 1999, as Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS).

The HIV/AIDS Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration funded 27 grantees on October 1, 1994, for periods of funding between two and five years. These projects were part of a larger Cooperative Agreement designed to permit cross-cutting evaluations of the grantee programs and the sharing of knowledge, methods, and programs among grantees. Between 1994 and 1999, the Cooperative Agreement grantees met approximately quarterly as a group with HRSA SPNS Staff. Throughout the funding period, the grantees and HRSA were supported by an Evaluation and Dissemination Center headed by The Measurement Group and also including PROTOTYPES.
