On
The Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) of HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) carry out research and evaluation in order to identify models of HIV/AIDS care that can then be adopted by other HIV/AIDS programs. SPNS focuses on various issues under multi-year initiatives that typically include a limited number of project sites and a national evaluation center to coordinate investigations.
