Health Department Cited for Deficiencies in Managing $1.5 Million AIDS Grant

Federal officials have cited the Baltimore City Health Department for deficiencies in its administration of a $1.5 million grant for the care of AIDS patients, and are considering disbursing the money through a community-based AIDS clinic. Part of the Ryan White CARE Act, the grant funds early intervention services for people infected with HIV. Five programs receive money from the grant. The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has asked Baltimore's Chase-Brexton Clinic, which receives about $135,000 a year from the grant, to step in and act as the "emergency interim grantee." Although the grant is administered by the health department, it is awarded to a consortium of local AIDS care providers including the adult HIV services program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Moore [AIDS] Clinic at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. HRSA noted the high volume of AIDS patients served by the five programs as a compelling reason to find an alternative grant manager and to continue medical services without interruption. Reasons for the switch include inadequate patient demographic information, lack of documentation of funding and performance of programs, and general inconsistency of the grant application.
