Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D - Women, Infants, Children and Youth Grant Supplemental Funding

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D Women, Infants, Children and Youth Grant Supplemental Funding opportunity is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This program is part of the broader Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, a longstanding federal initiative designed to improve access to care and health outcomes for individuals living with HIV. Part D specifically focuses on providing coordinated, family-centered services for women, infants, children, and youth, recognizing the unique clinical and social needs of these populations. The supplemental funding opportunity builds upon existing program infrastructure and aims to strengthen service delivery capacity among eligible organizations. The purpose of this supplemental funding is to enhance organizational capacity to respond to evolving health care needs and expand access to high-quality, family-centered HIV care. The program emphasizes outpatient and ambulatory care settings and prioritizes low-income populations. Services supported under this funding include comprehensive HIV medical care as well as supportive services such as case management, behavioral health services, nutrition support, and referrals to specialty providers. Additionally, the program allows funding for services benefiting individuals affected by HIV, even if they are not living with HIV themselves, when those services directly support the care and stability of individuals with HIV. Funding activities are structured around two primary categories: HIV Care Innovation and Infrastructure Development. HIV Care Innovation supports the development and implementation of new approaches to improve care delivery and patient outcomes. Infrastructure Development focuses on strengthening organizational systems, workforce capacity, and service integration. Funds are intended to support enhancements rather than basic operations alone, and recipients are expected to demonstrate how the funding will improve access, quality, or coordination of care. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this funding opportunity. Eligibility for this opportunity is broad but includes specific conditions tied to program objectives. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit entities, government agencies at the state, county, city, and tribal levels, institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations. However, applicants must either be current recipients of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D funding or demonstrate the ability to provide family-centered outpatient or ambulatory care to the target population. Services must be delivered across the applicant’s defined service area and must align with statutory requirements under the Public Health Service Act. The application process is expected to be conducted electronically through the Grants.gov system, with submissions required by the specified deadline. Applicants must prepare a comprehensive proposal outlining their planned activities under the two funding categories, including program design, service delivery approach, and anticipated outcomes. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the forecast notice, applications are typically assessed based on organizational capacity, program design, alignment with program goals, and the ability to improve access to care for the target population. The timeline for this opportunity indicates an estimated posting date in early June, followed by an application deadline approximately one month later in early July. Awards are expected to be issued by early August, with the project start date aligned to the award date. This relatively short timeline suggests that applicants should begin preparation in advance of the official notice of funding opportunity release. The program is part of an ongoing federal initiative and may be expected to recur annually, although this is not explicitly confirmed in the forecast. For additional information or clarification, applicants may contact the program representative via the provided email address or phone number. The forecast status of this opportunity indicates that details may be subject to change upon official release, and applicants are encouraged to monitor updates closely. Overall, this funding opportunity represents a targeted investment in improving HIV care systems for vulnerable populations through enhanced service delivery and organizational capacity.
