Which areas are eligible for Part B grants?
For the purposes of the RWHAP, “states and territories” includes all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau.
We also give funding to the state or territory for emerging communities. These communities report between 500 and 999 reported AIDS cases over the most recent five years.
How do you determine base grants?
We use a formula that is based on reported living cases of HIV in the state or territory in the most recent calendar year for which data is available. This decides Part B and ADAP base grants.
