TO: NASTAD Members

FR: Stephen Lee, Auntré Hamp, and Ricardo Fernandez

RE: Announcement: Gilead Sciences Awards NASTAD $5 Million Relink HIV Grant

NASTAD is pleased to announce that we have been selected by Gilead Sciences as the Lead Organization to implement our proposed Pathways to Care: A Relink HIV Initiative. This $5 million, two-year national initiative represents a major investment in strengthening re-engagement in HIV care for people with HIV (PWH) who have fallen out of care through equitable, data-driven, and health department–led approaches.

Through this award, NASTAD will support up to 15 organizations nationwide, providing subgrants ranging from $175,000 to $300,000, with the ability to request additional funding based on program scope, population size, and demonstrated need. The initiative is designed to strengthen state, local, and community capacity to identify, contact, re-engage, and retain people with HIV who are not currently in care by integrating surveillance-informed strategies, patient navigation, and cross-system collaboration.

The Pathways to Care initiative will:

  *   Support jurisdictions and their partners to implement scalable, community-centered re-engagement strategies aligned with Ryan White Part B, ADAP, and Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) efforts.
  *   Provide coordinated grantmaking, technical assistance, evaluation, and peer learning to strengthen data-to-care infrastructure and re-engagement workflows.
  *   Establish a national learning network to share best practices, advance equity-focused approaches, and promote long-term sustainability beyond the grant period.

NASTAD will leverage its decades of experience supporting HIV programs along with its robust grants management and compliance systems. This initiative builds on NASTAD’s broader commitment to strengthening health systems, advancing equity, and improving outcomes for communities disproportionately impacted by HIV.

In the coming weeks, NASTAD will release a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify organizations interested in participating in the Relink HIV Initiative. Members are encouraged to review the forthcoming announcement to assess their interest in applying and share the announcement through their communication channels. If you have questions regarding this initiative, please feel free to contact Auntré Hamp<mailto:ahamp at nastad.org> or Ricardo Fernandez<mailto:rfernandez at nastad.org>.

We are grateful to Gilead Sciences for their partnership and investment and to NASTAD members for their continued leadership and collaboration. We look forward to partnering with you to advance this work and strengthen national efforts to re-engage people with HIV in care.
