Series: 13. State Designation of ARCW as an AIDS Service Organization, 1997-1998
Biography/History: In June 1997 the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for state designation of agencies as AIDS Service Organizations (ASO). State designation as an ASO was highly important for ARCW as it provided millions of dollars in state prevention, life care services, early intervention and federal Ryan White Care Act funding that the state distributed. The RFP allowed applicants from five distinct public health regions to compete for ASO designation. Consistent with its evolution throughout the state, ARCW applied for ASO designation in the southeast, northeast, western, and northern regions of Wisconsin. It received state ASO designation in those four regions and for the statewide AIDS/HIV Information/Referral Hotline and Resource Center.
Scope and Content Note: This series contains the applications for each region and the statewide hotline/resource center. Inside each binder in the front left pocket are the review scores by the Department of Health and Family Services. Also in this series are the official RFP by the Department of Health and Family Services and the revised ARCW work plans submitted to the Department in January 1998 based on feedback and suggestions of the Department.
