MAI Report Instructions

The Part A Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) originated in fiscal year (FY) 1999, when the Congress directed a portion of the Part A supplemental appropriation to be used to address growing disparities in access to care and health outcomes among minority populations disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The MAI continued in this way through FY 2006. Then, under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act in December 2006, the MAI was codified as a separate, competitive grant program beginning in FY 2007 through FY 2009.

Therefore, following a competitive grant application process in FY 2007, MAI grants were awarded to all 56 Part A eligible metropolitan areas (EMAs) and transitional grant areas (TGAs) for a 3-year project period beginning August 1, 2007 through July 31, 2010. Non-competing continuation grants were awarded for FY 2008 and FY 2009.

However, with the enactment of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009, the Congress has directed that beginning in FY 2010 that the MAI be changed as follows: a) the grant period is to be "consistent" and "synchronized" with the Part A program application/award schedule, and b) MAI funds will be disbursed on a formula basis.^¹ As a distinct component of the Part A Program, the purpose of the MAI remains unchanged, which is to provide targeted resources that are focused on reducing disparities in access and health outcomes in disproportionately impacted minority communities.

Accordingly, FY 2010 MAI funds will be awarded to all EMAs/TGAs based on the distribution of minority populations disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS; and these awards will occur at the same time the FY 2010 Part A awards are released, for the 1-year budget period beginning March 1, 2010 and ending February 28, 2011. Grantees were advised in December 2009 to plan and prepare for the initial 5-month overlap in MAI funding that will occur during 2010, since the FY 2009 budget period will not end until July 31, 2010.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), Division of Service Systems (DSS), which administers the Part A MAI, is issuing these updated MAI Program Reporting Instructions to assist Grantees in preparing and submitting required MAI reports. These include your EMA/TGA’s:

MAI Annual Plan (Plan) for FY 2010; and,
MAI Annual Reports (Annual Reports) for FY 2008, FY 2009, and FY 2010.

The Plan portion of the MAI Report details how funds will be used based on the actual award amount, including the unduplicated number of clients expected to receive each service and planed client-level health outcomes. The Annual Report documents expenditures, the number and demographics of clients served and outcomes achieved.

To prepare the Plan and Annual Report, Grantees must use the web-based MAI Report system approved in March 2007 by the Office of Management and Budget, which is accessible through HRSA’s Electronic Handbooks (EHBs). Both the Plan and Annual Report must be submitted via the EHBs by the due date; no extensions are allowed.

The MAI Reporting Instructions are organized as follows.

1.1Updates and Reminders

Below are several important reminders and updates regarding the MAI Report web application, as of the ‘releases’ for September 2009 and January 2010. More detailed information is provided in appropriate sections of these Instructions.

Preparing Submissions: On or before a reporting deadline, data submitted by Grantees in either the Plan or Annual Report Web Forms must be complete, pass HRSA’s internal system validation checks, and be consistent with information provided in the Grantee’s accompanying Plan or Annual Report narrative. Therefore, it is critical for Grantees to begin working on the each submission well before their respective deadlines.
Grantee Delays: Grantees that do not begin a required submission within 15 days of the deadline will receive an email reminder.
System Upgrade – Revising Your MAI Plan: Grantees that receive approval from their Project Officer to revise their Plan during the fiscal year, must submit certain types of revisions via the EHB approximately 30-45 days in advance of the Annual Report submission process. The types of changes requiring a Plan revision include the following.

The addition of an allowable service not previously included in a Grantee’s Plan.
For one or more services already included in a Grantee’s Plan, the addition of one or more target populations that received the service(s).

Note: This new feature was implemented successfully in November 2009, with Grantees requesting these two types of changes in relation to their FY08 Plan.

Reminders for Other Types of Plan Changes:

Reprogramming funds: HRSA grants policy requires Grantees to obtain written approval from your Project Officer before reprogramming funds that involve 20 percent or more of your grant award in any given fiscal year. Such requests should be submitted via email to your assigned Grants Specialist in the Division of Grants Management Operations (the name and email address are listed on the most recent Notice-of-Grant-Award); and a copy of that email should be sent to your Project Officer. However, Grantees are not required to enter this type of budget change in the MAI Report System Plan web-forms.
MAI approved carryover: MAI funds approved for carryover are documented in the MAI Report System when Grantees submit their MAI Annual Reports.
Note: Please keep in mind that carryover requests must be submitted via the EHB’s along with the final Financial Status Reports (FSR), which is due 90 days after the budget period end date. Or, Grantees may indicate on the FSR their intent to submit a request within 30 additional days, in which case the carryover request should be emailed to your Grants Specialist with a copy to your Project Officer. For FY09, a separate MAI FSR is due 90 days after the budget end-date, i.e., on 10/30/2010. For FY 2010 and beyond, Grantees will submit a Part A FSR only, which must include in the remarks section a breakout of Part A expenditures with respect to Formula, Supplemental and MAI funds. The FY 2010 Part A FSR will be due 90 days after the Part A budget end date, i.e. on 6/1/2011.

New Requirement – Narratives: Before uploading a Plan or Annual Report Narrative, you must make sure it is clearly identifiable. To do that, please include a:

“Title Page” specifying the Grantee Name, Grant Number, Fiscal Year and type of submission (i.e. Plan Narrative or Annual Report Narrative);
Header on subsequent pages, with the Grantee Name and Grant Number; and
Footer displaying page numbers, (i.e. "Page 1 of 4").

Recommended Service Unit Definitions: HRSA recommended definitions are provided in drop-down menus for each Part A service category. Grantees must use a recommended definition for each service category. Exceptions will be made only in unusual circumstances, and must be approved by your Grantee.
Recommended Outcome Measures: Grantees must use at least one HRSA recommended measure provided in the service-specific drop-down menus for each service category.

Correcting a Plan or Annual Report Submission: Grantees will receive an email notice generated by the MAI Report System if a submission is returned because it is inconsistent with their Narrative, incomplete, or not in compliance with HRSA Reporting Instructions.

The email will specify the turn-around time for making requested corrections and resubmitting the Plan or Report, usually within 3-5 working days.
Grantees can view the problems specific to each worksheet in comments provided by your Grantee. To view the comments, click the ‘Details of Report Sheet’ link from the Summary Page of your Plan or Annual Report.

Saving a Copy: Grantees may generate and save a copy of their entire Plan or Annual Report submission in either a PDF or Excel format.

1.2Background Information

HRSA recognizes that the MAI is not the sole source of Ryan White Program funds for addressing the unmet HIV/AIDS service needs of minority communities living within an EMA/TGA. Indeed, in order to establish priorities for the use of Part A formula and supplemental funds, each EMA/TGA must take into consideration the size and demographics of the local HIV/AIDS epidemic, paying particular attention to individuals who know their status but are not in care; to disparities in access and services among affected subpopulations and historically underserved communities; and beginning in FY 2010, also the identification of individuals who are unaware of their HIV status.^² Therefore, EMAs/TGAs are expected to use—and do use—Part A Formula and Supplemental funds as well as the MAI to address core medical and support services needs among disproportionately impacted minority communities.

The overarching goal of the MAI is to improve health outcomes by preventing transmission or slowing disease progression for disproportionately impacted communities by:

Getting persons living with HIV disease into care at an earlier stage in their illness,

Assuring access to treatments that are consistent with established standards of care, and
Helping individuals and families to remain in care.

In order for Grantees and HRSA to assess the effectiveness of the MAI Program in achieving these goals, Grantees are required to document client-level health outcomes that are consistent with HRSA guidelines. To do this, all Grantees:

Must ensure that MAI providers document and report client-level health outcomes and the unduplicated numbers of clients receiving each service, broken out by race/ethnicity; and
Must use at least one HRSA recommended outcome measures for each funded service; and all outcome measures used must be consistent with HRSA guidelines.

Grantees are reminded that the MAI Report system is designed so that ONE Web Form only can be used to report required data for each service provided to each racial or ethnic minority community.

If more than one provider/contractor will deliver a particular service to the same racial or ethnic population, then it is critical that the Grantee ensure that each provider tracks and reports at least one and preferably two client-level outcome measures that are the same across all providers delivering a particular service. (The Web Forms provide fields for reporting up to three client-level outcomes.) By doing so, the EMA/TGA also will be better able to assess service quality and effectiveness in achieving planned goals and objectives.

2Summary of Part A MAI Reporting Requirements

At the beginning of each fiscal year, Grantees submit a revised Plan that is based on their MAI award amount. The Plan consists of a descriptive narrative that is uploaded to the MAI Report system via the EHB, as well as quantitative data/information submitted through MAI Report Web Forms. Web Form data includes: MAI allocations for Grantee Administration, Clinical Quality Management, and each planned service; the racial/ethnic communities to be served; and for each community to whom a service is directed, the amount budgeted, number of planned service units, number of clients expected to be served, planned outcomes, and target percentage of clients expected to achieve each outcome.

An Annual Report submitted in the same way at the end of each fiscal year. Grantees use MAI Report Web Forms to document expenditures for each service delivered to each minority community. For each community that received a given service, Grantees report: the unduplicated number of total clients served; unduplicated numbers of women, infants, children and youth served; the total number of service units provided; and the total number of clients that achieved each planned outcome. Grantees also must upload an Annual Report narrative summarizing MAI program accomplishments, challenges and lessons learned.

2.1Reporting Deadlines

Below are the deadlines for Plans and Annual Reports for FY 2008 – FY 2010. Grantees will be able to begin working on each submission in the EHBs at approximately 30 days before each deadline.

Note that there are two Plan submission deadlines: the initial submission due date, and a deadline the next year for submitting any approved Plan revisions that were implemented during that year.

Reports are submitted to Project Officers for review. If your Project Officer requires changes or clarification, you will receive an email notification directing you to make corrections to your initial submission. You must return to the MAI web application through the EHB to make the corrections
by the date specified in the email, which will typically be within 5 work days.

Fiscal Year	Deadlines for submission of MAI Plan	Deadlines for submission of MAI Annual Report
2008	Completed (September 30, 2008)	January 29, 2010
2009	Completed (September 30, 2009)	January 28, 2011
2010	June 30, 2010	(To be determined)

2.2Overview of Plan and Annual Report Components

The Plan and Annual Report contain two parts: (1) Web Forms to collect standardized quantitative and qualitative information summarized above, and (2) an accompanying narrative report.

2.2.1Web Forms Overview

The Web Forms collect standardized quantitative and qualitative information describing how funds are budgeted and spent in relation to each service, broken out by the racial and ethnic communities served. For each service directed to each community this includes:

The planned and actual numbers of service units, total unduplicated clients, and unduplicated women, infants, children and youth receiving the service;
Whether services represent a new, continuing or expanded initiative in relation to Part A and MAI funded services provided the previous year (see page 9 for definitions); and
Up to three planned client-level health outcomes, together with the actual results achieved.

2.2.2Plan Narrative Overview

This is a 2 – 4 page description in which Grantees provide:

Title Page: the Grantee Name, Grant Number, Fiscal Year, type of narrative (Plan);
Header on subsequent pages with the Grantee Name and Grant Number;

Footer on subsequent pages showing page numbers (i.e. "Page 1 of 4");
Background information: provide an explanation of the data submitted in the Plan Web Forms;
Summary of the Plan based on the actual award amount that addresses any service-related capacity development activities and the timeline for disbursing funds. In addition, if the EMA/TGA revised any planned services, allocation amounts or target communities after their grant application was submitted, the changes must be highlighted and explained; and the Grantee’s plan and timeline for documenting client-level outcome measures.

2.2.3Annual Report Narrative Overview

This is a 2- 4-page document in which Grantees provide:

Title Page: Grantee Name, Grant Number, Fiscal Year, and type of narrative (Annual Report);
Header on subsequent pages with the Grantee Name and Grant Number;

Footer on subsequent pages showing page numbers (i.e. "Page 1 of 4");
Background information needed to explain data submitted in the Web Forms;
Summary of Accomplishments, including:

Progress toward achieving specific goals and objectives identified in the Grantee’s approved MAI Plan for that fiscal year and in linking MAI services/activities to Part A and other Ryan White Program services;
Achievements in relation to client-level health outcomes and any capacity development or provider-level technical assistance activities;
Summary of challenges or barriers at the provider or Grantee levels, the strategies and/or action-steps implemented to address them, and lessons learned; and
Discussion of MAI technical assistance needs identified by the EMA/TGA.

2.3Part A MAI Report Electronic Submission Process

Part A MAI Grantees are required to submit their MAI Plan and Annual Report electronically each fiscal year. Like the Ryan White Program Data Report (RDR), the MAI Report is a deliverable in HRSA’s Electronic Handbooks (EHBs).

Please visit https://performance.hrsa.gov/hab/ehbdemo/mai/ for instructions about registering in the EHBs and accessing the Part A MAI Plan and/or Annual Report web application.

<Click the Next Page Button to Continue>

3.2.4MAI Report Sheet Web Forms

After completing the steps above, your Plan will contain separate Web Forms for each racial and ethnic client group to whom a service/activity will be directed. This does NOT mean that Grantees should prepare an individual Web Form for each service provider. Information from multiple providers delivering the same service to the same ethnic/racial group should be consolidated into a single Web Form. If you need technical assistance with this requirement, contact the HRSA Call Center at 1-877-Go4HRSA.

The information fields described below are required for each service Web Form; i.e. for each service/activity to be provided to each racial/ethnic community.

Service Information: This information will be pre-populated on each service Web Form.

Service or Activity
Ethnicity and Race of Client Group to Receive This Service
New, Continuing or Expanded Effort.

Budget Information: 4.a, b. and c. are pre-populated from information in your Plan in step 3.2.3 above

Planned Budget and Expenditures for This Ethnic/Racial Group

MAI Funds Budgeted for this Service to this Client Group: The amount will be pre-populated.
MAI Carryover from Prior Year Budgeted for this Service to this Group: The carryover field will be disabled, as carryover into the next fiscal year will be reported in your Annual Report.
Total MAI Funds Budgeted for this Service to this Group: This field will be pre-populated with the value entered in item 4a above.

Service Units: Follow the instructions below to enter required information for service units.

Service Unit Name and Definition: Service unit definitions must be consistent with the type of service and HRSA recommended Service Category Definition in Appendix IV. For these reasons and also to enable aggregate analysis of data across Grantees, you must select a HRSA recommended Service Unit Definition from the service-specific drop-down menus provided. (Note: All Service Unit Definitions are listed in Appendix II.) If needed, provide clarification about the definition in a Web Form comment and/or in your Plan Narrative, e.g. with respect to amount or time duration. Examples:

For Outpatient/ Ambulatory Medical Care, 1 unit = 1 Visit is most consistent with the Service Category Definition. In the Plan Narrative or a comment, a Grantee might specify that visits will be documented and billed in 30-minute increments.
For Case Management (non-Medical), 1 unit = 1 Non-medical Case Management Encounter is most consistent with the Service Category Definition; and in the Plan Narrative or a comment, a Grantee might specify they will be documented in 15-minute increments.

If the Grantee thinks local circumstances warrant using a locally established Service Unit Definition, then you must first check with your Project Officer to explain and receive approval. To enter an alternative, local definition:

Choose ‘Other,’ and type the definition in the text box provided; and
Provide an explanation of the rationale for using the local Service Unit Definition, using the Web Form ‘Comment’ function. To insert a comment, click on the ‘Add comment to this report sheet’ link located near the top of the Report Sheet (with the clipboard icon).

Important: Your Project Officer must approve locally established Service Unit Definitions.

Record of Service Units Provided: Enter the number of service units you plan to provide in the reporting FY.

Record of Clients Served: Follow the instructions below to enter required information for clients expected to be served in the coming year.

Planned and Actual Total Number of Clients Served: Use fields 7a – 7e to enter the unduplicated number of clients planned to be served for this ethnic/racial community.

Total Unduplicated Number of Clients: The total number of clients planned for this community.
Total Unduplicated Number of Women: The unduplicated total number of women (25 years or older) planned for this community.
Total Unduplicated Number of Infants: The unduplicated total number of infants (< 2 years) planned for this community.
Total Unduplicated Number of Children: The unduplicated total number of children (2-12 years) planned for this community.
Total Unduplicated Number of Youth: The unduplicated total number of youth (13-24 years) planned for this community.

8A. Planned Client Level Outcome(s): Grantees are expected to use at least one HRSA-recommended, service-specific Client Level Outcome for each MAI-funded service. You may select up to three Planned Client Level Outcomes for each service report sheet Web Form.

Click on the drop-down menu containing HRSA-recommended outcomes measures to select each Planned Client Level Outcome. You MUST choose at least one recommended measure.
Grantees may also select “Other” from the drop-down list to enter a locally defined Client Level Outcome using the text box provided, provided it is consistent with HRSA guidelines.
For each Planned Client Level Outcome chosen, enter the target number/percentage of clients who are expected to achieve the outcome during the year.

Reminders:

The Plan Narrative must include a Title Page identifying the Grantee Name, Grant Number and fiscal year, and specifying that it is a Plan Narrative. On subsequent pages, it must include a header with the Grantee Name and Number and a footer showing page numbers.
Use the Plan Narrative to provide information to explain or describe outcome measures.
Using HRSA-recommended service-specific client level health outcomes will enable Grantees and HRSA to better assess program performance in improving access to care for minority communities, retaining clients in care, and preventing or slowing disease progression. Please refer to Section 5 for more information about selecting outcomes and technical assistance resources; and to Appendix III for a list of HRSA recommended outcome measures.

  Example: The total number of people in an ethnic/racial group that received a service might be 100 clients, but one of the outcomes being reported may pertain only to the 35 women who were served. In that case, you would enter 35 as the “Number of Clients Served in Target Population,” for that particular outcome.
3. Number of Clients Achieving Outcome: Report the number of clients within the target population that achieved each outcome. (To continue the above example targeting women clients: if only 30 of the 35 women served achieved this outcome, then you would enter 30 as the “Number of Clients Achieving Outcome” for this particular outcome.)
4. Percent: The percentage field is locked and will automatically calculate the percent of clients that achieved each outcome. (For the above example, the calculated percentage would be 30 divided by 35, or 85.7 %.)

4.2.5Submitting Plan Revisions

Each year, approximately 30 – 45 days before the Annual Report submission process is scheduled to begin, Grantees will receive an email asking if their MAI Plan was revised during the FY with regard to the following types of changes.

A service was added that was NOT included in the approved Plan submitted via the EHBs.
A planned service was expanded to serve an additional racial/ethnic population.

Please follow the emailed instructions for submitting a Plan change request in the EHBs.

The deadline for submitting FY08 Plan revisions was 6 PM on December 11, 2009.

Important:

Your MAI Plan data is used to generate your Annual Report Web Forms, so it is critical that you make sure HRSA has correct, up-to-date information. However, HRSA will not be able to accept revisions after the published deadline, because the MAI Report system will be closed for upgrades and system maintenance to prepare for the Annual Report submission cycle.
Plan revisions must be approved by your Project Officer before being implemented, so Grantees must confirm that approval was obtained when submitting a revision request. Grantees are also reminded that you must obtain Project Officer approval before reprogramming 20 percent or more of the MAI grant award.
However, if the only approved Plan changes were to increase or decrease funds budgeted for a planned service(s), you do NOT need to submit a Plan change request for the MAI Report system. These changes are captured when you report your MAI expenditures for each service/population.

4.3Inserting Web Form Grantee Comments

Grantees may insert a comment on each Web Form/Report Sheet if needed to provide additional information about the data entered on each service Report Sheet, e.g. with respect to documented Client Level Outcomes. To enter a comment:

Click the “Add Comment to this Report Sheet” hyperlink located near the upper-right corner of the report sheet (accompanied by a clipboard icon).
Type your comments in the text box provided, and then click on the Submit button.
Your comment will be saved and associated with that report sheet.
To review all comments for all sheets as well as the report click on ‘View Comments’ in the left Navigation Bar. To view comments for a specific sheet only, click on ‘View Summary’ in the left Navigation Bar; then click on the clipboard icon under the “Details” column.

Reminder: Use the Narrative to provide additional information explaining the outcomes achieved.

4.4Upload MAI Year-End Annual Report Narrative

You will upload the year-end Annual Report Narrative into the Part A MAI Report system to HRSA through the MAI System after you have completed data entry in the Annual Report sheets. Make sure you clearly identify the document on the ‘title page’ (Grantee name, grant number, FY, Annual Report Narrative) and on subsequent pages (header with Grantee name, grant number). Also be sure to insert a footer that includes page numbers (e.g., Page 1 of 4).

Click the ‘Upload Narrative’ link in the left menu
Browse to locate and select the Narrative file (Microsoft Word or WordPerfect files only) and click the ‘Upload Narrative’ button.
The system will confirm that the file was uploaded successfully by refreshing the upload window and displaying the following confirmation message in red type:

File uploaded and processed successfully.

5Selecting client level outcomes

Each fiscal year since 2000, Part A Grantees have been required to document client-level health outcomes for MAI-funded services provided to each racial/ethnic community. While Grantees have discretion in selecting client level outcomes, those selected must be consistent with published HRSA guidelines for core medical and related support services.

Most EMAs/TGAs have successfully implemented appropriate client-level health outcome measures and indicators that monitor the quality and effectiveness of MAI-funded services. For any that have not, Grantees must work with their providers and Project Officer to ensure that this is accomplished, in order to assess performance with respect to improving access for minority communities, retaining clients in care, and preventing or slowing disease progression.

Appendix III of these Instructions contains a list of recommended outcome indicators for specific core medical and support services that are consistent with HRSA outcomes guidelines and HAB performance measures. Grantees must use at least one recommended client level outcome measure for each MAI funded service.

Grantees also may choose to select one or two locally established client-level outcome measures, by selecting “Other” from the drop-down menu provided and typing in the definition. However, measures that are not client-level or appropriate to the particular service category will not be approved. Additionally, in defining a locally established measure, Grantees should not: (1) combine two or more measures in one text box; or (2) use “Other” to define an outcome measure that is essentially a rewording of an existing standard outcome measure already listed. For example, please select “Increase in the percent of clients with improved or stable CD4 counts” rather than selecting “Other” and typing in a detailed explanation of a specific target or range of CD4 count improvement, as that information is best reported in the Plan Narrative.

Grantees are reminded that the Congress defined support services as services “that are needed for individuals with HIV/AIDS to achieve their medical outcomes;” and medical outcomes were defined as “those outcomes affecting the HIV-related clinical status of an individual with HIV/AIDS.^³ Therefore, in selecting outcomes Grantees and funded providers should focus on how the service will enable clients to achieve improved medical outcomes. For example, documenting whether or not MAI-funded Medical Transportation Services will result in a decrease in the number of missed health care appointments and/or an increase in the percentage of clients retained in care.

Technical assistance in selecting HIV/AIDS outcome measures and indicators, including the publication “Measuring Clinical Performance,” is available online through the National Quality Center at: http://www.ihi.org/IHI/Topics/HIVAIDS/TheNationalQualityCenterNQC.htm. You can also call toll-free: 1-888-ASK HRSA. For individualized technical assistance, please contact your Project Officer.

6Appendix I: Client Demographic Data

The MAI Report collects demographic data elements with respect to race and ethnicity and age that are consistent with elements in HRSA’s Ryan White Program Data Report (RWDR). However, Grantees must submit client-level outcomes data for the MAI Report, in order to document progress toward achieving the Part A MAI Grant Program’s mandated purpose of reducing disparities in access and health outcomes for disproportionately impacted minority communities.

Therefore, the MAI Report is structured to collect: 1) data on specific services provided, clients served and expenditures by race and ethnicity; and 2) unduplicated client counts. Grantees are responsible for submitting these required data, and therefore must ensure that MAI-funded contractors/providers comply in collecting and reporting to the Grantee all required client-level data elements for each service that the contractor provides to each racial/ethnic population being served.
